14 schema.org types · JSON-LD · live profile validation · in-browser

Schema Markup Studio

Generate valid JSON-LD for Article, Product, FAQ, LocalBusiness, Event, Recipe and nine more types — validated live against bundled type profiles (required and recommended properties per rich-result feature). Or paste any markup and audit it.

  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article"
}

Paste the script tag anywhere in <head> or <body>. Keep the values in sync with the visible page — SEO Audit Pro checks schema↔page drift.

Reference

What each rich-result type requires

Article / BlogPosting

headline (≤ 110 chars), image, datePublished and an author as a Person or Organization object — a plain author string is the most common E-E-A-T mistake.

author → Person
Product

name and image, plus at least one of offers (price + priceCurrency), review, or aggregateRating before Google grants price/rating snippets.

offers.price
FAQ / HowTo

Structurally: Questions with acceptedAnswer.text, steps with text. Google restricted FAQ rich results (2023) and retired HowTo — the markup remains valid schema.org that AI and answer engines read.

Field notes

Structured data in 2026 — who's actually reading it

JSON-LD is the recommended structured-data format for a practical reason: it lives in one script tag, decoupled from your visible markup, so redesigns don't silently break it. The classic failure mode is equally practical — a single missing comma voids the entire block, and nothing warns you, because crawlers just skip unparseable JSON. That's why this studio validates both syntax and type profiles (the required and recommended properties behind each rich-result feature) as you type, not after you deploy.

The audience for schema has quietly doubled. Search engines still use it for rich results — product prices, review stars, event dates, recipe cards — but AI answer engines now parse it as the machine-readable summary of your page when deciding what to cite. That changes the calculus for types Google demoted: FAQ rich results are restricted to authoritative sites and HowTo was retired in 2023, yet both remain valid schema.org that assistants read. This studio generates them with expectations set honestly rather than pretending the 2020 rich-results era never ended.

The details that separate markup that works from markup that validates: authors as Person objects with profile URLs (the E-E-A-T pattern), ISO-8601 everywhere (dates like 2026-07-03, durations like PT30M — the Recipe form converts minutes for you), absolute URLs for every image and link, and values that match what the page visibly shows. Schema that claims a headline the page never displays erodes trust with both search and AI systems.

Ship it as part of a coherent head: build the rest of your meta tags in the Meta Tags Studio, check the whole page — including schema↔content drift — with SEO Audit Pro, and preview how the page presents in results with the SERP Preview.

The Product form with availability enums and the offers validation caught why our price snippets vanished — offers.priceCurrency had been dropped in a migration. Generated the corrected block, pasted, stars back in ten days. The live error chips as you type are exactly right.

We template Article markup for 4,000 posts and this is where I prototype changes. Author-as-Person with profile URLs, the 110-char headline meter, ISO dates enforced — it encodes every review comment I used to leave. The honesty notes about FAQ/HowTo deprecation saved an awkward client conversation.

Paste-validate mode is my markup triage: broken JSON with the position, wrong @type casing, missing required props in a table I can screenshot into an audit doc. Fourteen types covers every client I have. And it works on markup for pages that aren't live yet, which Google's tester can't.

LocalBusiness with opening-hours rows and geo coordinates is the fastest I've built that markup anywhere. Would love saved presets for repeat clients, but copy-paste of the generated JSON works fine. The BreadcrumbList auto-positioning is a small thing that removes a whole class of errors.
