Why it matters
It helps search systems understand products, organizations, articles, breadcrumbs, FAQs, and other concepts, and can enable supported rich-result eligibility.
How to use it
Use JSON-LD where practical, mark up only visible and accurate content, select the most specific relevant type, and validate with Google and schema.org tools.
Limits and interpretation
Markup does not guarantee a rich result or AI citation. Unsupported types can still be semantically useful but should not be marketed as Google features.
Common mistakes
Adding fake reviews; marking up hidden text; using unrelated types; duplicating conflicting entities; treating schema as a ranking shortcut.
