5 Common Schema Markup Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Are Your Schemas Hurting Your SEO?

Bad schema can lead to manual actions or Google simply ignoring your structured data. Here are the top 5 mistakes:

1. Missing Required Fields: Not including 'price' in an Offer or 'headline' in an Article.
2. Markup for Invisible Content: Adding schema for things people can't see on the page.
3. Using Outdated Formats: Still relying on Microdata when Google wants JSON-LD.
4. Mismatched Data: When your schema price doesn't match the visible price on the page.
5. Multiple Schema Types without @graph: Creating disconnected blocks that confuse search engines.
