gabrielmoreira Schema Markup Skill
Structured data tells search engines exactly what a page is — a product, a recipe, an FAQ, an event — making it eligible for rich results (star ratings, FAQ drop-downs, breadcrumbs) that win clicks. This skill produces valid JSON-LD for the right Schema.org type, with the fields Google actually requires, and flags the guideline traps that get markup ignored or penalised.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The page & its content — what the page is (product, article, FAQ, local business, event, recipe, how-to…).
- The rich result you want — e.g. review stars, FAQ accordion, breadcrumbs, sitelinks, event listing.
- The data — the actual values (name, price, rating, dates, Q&As) — markup must match visible content.
Output Format
Schema markup: [type] for [page]
Target rich result — which Google rich result this enables, and the eligibility note (e.g. review snippets need real, visible reviews).
Schema type — the correct Schema.org type (and any nesting, e.g. Product → AggregateRating + Offer).
JSON-LD — ready to paste in a <script type="application/ld+json"> block:
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "...",
"...": "..."
}
Use the real provided values; mark any placeholders clearly.
Required vs. recommended fields — what Google requires for the rich result vs. nice-to-have, so nothing essential is missing.
Validation & guidelines — test in Google's Rich Results Test + Schema validator; the key rules: markup must reflect visible page content, no fake/marked-up-but-hidden data, no review spam (no self-serving aggregate ratings without real reviews). Note anything that would disqualify it.
Quality Checks
- The schema type matches the page content and the intended rich result
- The JSON-LD is valid (proper @context/@type, correct nesting) and uses real values
- All Google-required fields for that rich result are present
- Markup reflects content actually visible on the page — no hidden or fabricated data
- Validation steps and the relevant structured-data guidelines are noted
Anti-Patterns
- Do not mark up content that isn't visible on the page — Google treats that as spam
- Do not fabricate ratings/reviews or self-apply AggregateRating without real reviews
- Do not omit required fields — the rich result simply won't trigger
- Do not use the wrong type (e.g. Product for an article) — it won't validate
- Do not ship without validating in the Rich Results Test
