Schema markup

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

Schema markup is structured labeling embedded in web content that identifies entities, properties, and values so software can interpret the content's meaning.

Schema markup labels the elements of website content so bots and search engines can understand what each item means. Labels can identify a video, its description and duration, or a recipe and its ingredients, instructions, nutrition, and cooking time. section 11.4.1

A WordPress site can use schema markup in these practical ways:

  • Use All in One SEO (AIOSEO), which provides built-in WordPress schema markup support. section 5.1
  • Choose automated markup tools for convenience or hand-edit markup when greater control is needed. section 11.4.1
  • Treat schema markup as part of search optimization alongside XML sitemaps and other site-structure improvements. section 11.4.1 section 5.1
