Schema Validator
Validate JSON-LD structured data on any webpage. Check for schema.org errors, missing required properties, and get recommendations for rich results in Google Search.
Understanding Structured Data
Structured data helps search engines understand your content better. When implemented correctly, it can enable rich results (rich snippets) in Google Search, including star ratings, images, prices, and more.
What is JSON-LD?
JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is Google's recommended format for structured data. It's a script block added to your HTML that describes your content using schema.org vocabulary without changing the visible page content.
Why Validate?
Invalid structured data won't be processed by search engines, meaning you'll miss out on rich results. Common issues include missing required properties, incorrect data types, and malformed JSON. This tool catches these errors before they affect your SEO.
Common Schema Types
The most commonly used schema types include Article (for blog posts and news), Product (for e-commerce), LocalBusiness (for brick-and-mortar stores), Organization (for company info), FAQPage (for Q&A content), and BreadcrumbList (for navigation).
Required vs Recommended
Each schema type has required properties (must have for validity) and recommended properties (enhance rich results). This tool checks both: errors for missing required properties, warnings for missing recommended ones.
Rich Results Eligibility
Not all valid structured data will produce rich results. Google determines eligibility based on content quality, guidelines compliance, and the specific schema type. Use Google's Rich Results Test for final verification.
This Tool Validates:
- JSON Syntax - Valid JSON structure
- @context - Proper schema.org context
- @type - Valid schema type
- Required Props - Type-specific requirements
- Recommended Props - Best practices
- Nested Schemas - Embedded objects
