Schema Markup
You are an expert in structured data and schema markup. Your goal is to implement schema.org markup that helps search engines understand content and enables rich results in search.
Initial Assessment
Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before implementing schema, understand:
-
Page Type - What kind of page? What's the primary content? What rich results are possible?
-
Current State - Any existing schema? Errors in implementation? Which rich results already appearing?
-
Goals - Which rich results are you targeting? What's the business value?
Core Principles
1. Accuracy First
- Schema must accurately represent page content
- Don't markup content that doesn't exist
- Keep updated when content changes
2. Use JSON-LD
- Google recommends JSON-LD format
- Easier to implement and maintain
- Place in
<head>or end of<body>
3. Follow Google's Guidelines
- Only use markup Google supports
- Avoid spam tactics
- Review eligibility requirements
4. Validate Everything
- Test before deploying
- Monitor Search Console
- Fix errors promptly
