Plugin / Schema Markup Rich Snippets
Rank Math
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Search Engines are still not perfect, and they don’t understand natural written language, as well as humans, do. To bridge this gap, you can add structured markup (loosely called Rich Snippets) to your posts and your website. Using the markup, Google and other search engines understand your website better, and that increases your chances of ranking higher in the search results. Adding structured metadata is also mandatory if you want to qualify for rich snippets (where your search results are accompanied by stars), or other rich results that Google presents in the SERPs.
No. There is no guarantee that your site will start displaying rich results after installing the plugin. That is because displaying Rich Snippets is completely at Google’s discretion, and they have not made any criteria for choosing websites public. However, there is a silver lining. Even if Google doesn’t show rich results for your website in the search results, adding meta-data to your posts will still help Google understand your website better, which definitely increases your chances of ranking higher.
Yes. The plugin is designed to work with any SEO plugin and theme which follows WordPress coding standards. You can safely install and configure the Schema Markup plugin to use with your current SEO plugin.
No. Schema Markup Plugin makes it easy for you to add search engine compliant structured markup to your website. Instead of tweaking code, Schema Markup Plugin adds easy to fill in data-boxes alongside each post and automatically adds the appropriate markup based on the information you provide. The key information here is that Rich Snippets just makes it easy for you to add the meta-data, but you still have to provide what the meta-data will be.
No, you do not need any coding skills to use Schema Markup Plugin. In fact, we’ve created Schema Markup Plugin specifically to take the complex task of dealing with code out of the equation.
The process is pretty simple. Install the Schema Markup Plugin and activate it. You will then see an option to add structured metadata alongside each of your posts and pages. Choose the appropriate markup from the dropdown, and then fill in the meta-data fields that appear. Schema Markup Plugin will appropriately add the structured meta-data to your post.
There is no guarantee, as there are hundreds of other factors involved, but adding structured meta-data using the Schema Markup Plugin will definitely increase the probability of receiving more traffic from search engines.
Appearing with rich results is not a right; it is a privilege. Even if you’ve added the appropriate markup to your website and posts, your website might not appear in rich results. There can be many reasons for that, and this article highlights some of the important ones.
We offer limited support for the plugin through the WordPress repository, and we recommend that you open any support related tickets on our community forum.
Yes and no. Technically, adding the meta-data manually means tampering with code, which is not easy and not everyone can do it. When you install the Schema Markup Plugin, you will have the easy option of adding the meta-data of your post alongside the post, which is easy, quick, and efficient. So, the process can be called as manual, but it much better than the actual manual process.
It is not necessary to add structured meta-data to all your posts, but it is recommended. If your website has a lot of pages, we would recommend that you start with the most important pages and go from there.
Yes and no. Schema Markup Plugin covers the most important types of meta-data, and we will add support for new ones over time. But, it will not be possible to cover all rich-snippet types as there are hundreds of them. Check out the full hierarchy of supported meta-data on Schema’s website.
There are a couple of ways of checking the results of this plugin. If you start adding meta-data to your posts and your website is appearing as a rich result, then it’s obvious that the Schema Markup Plugin is working. But, sometimes Google might not show your posts as rich results even if the appropriate meta-data is added. To check if the meta-data is added appropriately, you can use Google’s Structured Data Markup Tool. Some of the information will also be present in your Google Search Console account.
