What is a schema.org validator?

A schema.org validator checks whether a website's structured data markup follows schema.org specifications correctly. It verifies JSON-LD, Microdata, and RDFa markup to ensure search engines like Google can read and use the data for rich results.

What is JSON-LD and why does it matter for SEO?

JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is Google's preferred format for structured data markup. It allows search engines to understand your content's context, enabling rich results like star ratings, FAQs, breadcrumbs, and product details in search results.

What schema types does SchemaScan validate?

SchemaScan validates 10 high-impact schema types: Organization, WebSite with SearchAction, BreadcrumbList, Article/BlogPosting, FAQPage, Product, AggregateRating/Review, Person/Author, HowTo, and JSON-LD syntax validity.

Is SchemaScan free to use?

Yes, SchemaScan is completely free to use with no account or login required. Simply paste any public URL to get an instant schema audit score and structured data report.

How do I fix schema.org errors on my website?

After scanning your URL, SchemaScan identifies missing or broken schema types and provides plain-English fix instructions for each issue. Enter your email address to receive a detailed fix-it report with specific recommendations for your site.

JobPosting schema — frequently asked questions

How quickly do job postings appear in Google for Jobs?

Google typically indexes job postings within 24-48 hours of the schema being crawled. Using IndexNow or submitting via Search Console speeds this up.

Do I need JobPosting schema if I use a job board?

If you list jobs directly on your site, yes. Third-party job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn) handle their own schema. But hosting jobs on your own domain with schema builds your employer brand in search.

What happens when a job is filled?

Set validThrough to the closing date, and once filled, either remove the page or update jobLocationType and add a note. Expired job postings can trigger manual actions if left live.
