Schema Markup Generator

Schema markup (structured data) tells search engines exactly what your content is about — an article, a product, a local business, an FAQ, or a how-to guide — enabling rich results like review stars, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, and knowledge panels directly in search results. This tool generates the JSON-LD script block for five common schema types.

Select a schema type, fill in the relevant fields, and get properly formatted JSON-LD code ready to paste into your page's <head> or <body>. JSON-LD is Google's recommended format for structured data because it keeps the markup separate from your HTML content, making it easier to maintain.

Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent to a server. After adding the markup to your page, validate it with Google's Rich Results Test to confirm eligibility for rich results.

Frequently asked questions

What is JSON-LD and why is it recommended?

JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is a way to embed structured data in your HTML using a <script type="application/ld+json"> block. Google recommends it over Microdata and RDFa because it doesn't mix into your HTML markup — you can add or remove it without touching your page's visible content.

Will adding schema markup improve my rankings?

Schema markup doesn't directly boost rankings, but it can earn you rich results (stars, FAQ accordions, how-to steps) that significantly increase click-through rates from search results — which indirectly benefits your traffic. Google has stated structured data is a ranking signal for some result types.

How do I validate my schema markup?

Use Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) to check whether your markup is valid and eligible for rich results, or the Schema.org Validator (validator.schema.org) for general validation against the schema.org vocabulary.

Which schema type should I use?

Article for blog posts and news articles. Product for e-commerce product pages. LocalBusiness for brick-and-mortar businesses with a physical address. FAQ for pages with question-and-answer content. HowTo for step-by-step instructional content. You can combine multiple types on one page if applicable.
