What it is#

Structured data is a block of labelled facts about the page: that it is an article, who wrote it, what a product costs. Google reads it to understand the page and, for some types, to show extra detail.

Rules that matter#

  • Mark up only what a reader can see.
  • Keep it in step with the page when the text changes.

Check it landed#

Read the live page after publishing to confirm the block is there.

See it on your own site#

The free website check reads a site you name and reports what holds its pages back, with no account and no card. It changes nothing on your site.
