Google can read your page, but it often can't tell what a star rating means or which FAQ blocks to show in search. Schema markup solves this by labeling your content in a language Google natively understands.
What is schema markup?
Schema markup is structured data added to your HTML that describes entities — products, articles, reviews, events, FAQs. It's rendered as JSON-LD, the format Google explicitly recommends.
The 7 most valuable schema types
- 1FAQPage — unlocks FAQ rich results with instant answers

FAQ
Does schema guarantee rich results?
No. Schema is a request, not a guarantee. Google decides whether to show rich results based on content quality, eligibility and user relevance.
What's the difference between schema and meta tags?
Meta tags describe a page (title, description). Schema describes entities within the page. Use both — start with our Meta Tag Generator.
