About this structured data checker
Why it matters
Structured data (usually JSON-LD) helps search engines and AI systems understand entities — Organization, FAQ, Product, SoftwareApplication, and more. Presence is not a guarantee of rich results, but absence means you leave eligibility on the table.
How it works
- Enter a public URL.
- We scan the initial HTML for JSON-LD scripts and microdata itemtype signals.
- You see counts and a clear missing-data warning when none are found.
Best practices
- Prefer JSON-LD in one maintainable block per template.
- Match schema type to the page (don’t mark a blog as Product).
- Validate important templates in Google’s Rich Results Test too.
- Keep Organization / WebSite schema on the homepage for brand entity signals.

Google recommends JSON-LD for most sites. It is easier to maintain than inline microdata and less likely to break when templates change.
