Raise your hand if your website has schema markup 🙋

Almost half of websites use schema markup

But why is it important?

Google is continuing to verify info

Schema markup supports E-E-A-T

Speaking of E-E-A-T, here’s a bit about me…

1. What makes schema “complex” @itamarblauer #brightonSEO Generating complex schema
markup at scale with AI

Schema.org contains 803 Types and 1465 Properties https://schema.org/docs/schemas.html (As of September 2023)

The schemas are a set of 'types', each associated with a set of properties https://schema.org/docs/schemas.html (As of September 2023)

"Complex” schema: specific types & properties reinforce E-E-A-T

Here’s an example of Organization schema

Out of 70 possible Properties within Organization schema

This example used four (which is ~5%)

Damn, that’s basic. 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣

Limited info in schema isn’t good

Ever heard of “Less is more”?

This doesn’t apply with schema markup

Many CMS plugins/apps provide limited schema

Even Organization schema is generic

You can find more specific Types

The search function is underrated

Once you found the schema type you want to use

Look through all the relevant properties that Google would find helpful

Have the values of the properties ready to fill out (like a shopping list)

But I get it, you might be too busy

2. Useful B2B & B2C schema @itamarblauer #brightonSEO Generating complex

B2B B2C Service Product WebPage LocalBusiness BreadcrumbList VideoObject BlogPosting WebSite FAQPage Person Article Event Course Collectio nPage

Many of these types contain E-E-A-T-rich properties

The “about” property provides context of the subject matter

The “sameAs” property links well with “about” for referencing authoritative sites

The “keywords” property is pretty self-explanatory 🤑

Example prompt for generating schema

This prompt uses predetermined values

Errors may occur, so check with validator!

But how can you scale this?

Create a spreadsheet with different tabs

Export it as .xlsx (Excel) and upload it to ChatGPT (Premium)

I’ll share a QR code later with more prompts 👀

Now that you have your schema

You need to push it live
