Structured data has become one of the most important tool in an SEO toolbox these days. They let us help search engines understand page content and are a key element in getting prominent display in search results (search carousels, products carousel, AMP, rich snippets, etc).
Structured data are reasonably easy to add to a site, they are also fairly easy to get wrong with small glitches rendering en entire set of carefully crafted code invalid.
SEOInfo will automatically detect structured data found in the pages you browse. At the click of a button, it can then validates them and display any error without leaving the extension. No more having to navigate to the Google Structured data validator!
You will also get a full list of any structured data found, whether the recommended JSON+LD format or microdata.
Structured data validation
SEOInfo has a full integration of Google structured data validator. This validation is done in the background and may take a few seconds before we get a response from Google validator.
How to validate
On any given page:
- Open SEOInfo popup by clicking on its icon
- Click the
Validate
button on theStruct. data
tab
Validation should not take more than a couple of seconds (you do need to have internet connectivity for validation to work).
Full results
Any bit of structured data as interpreted by Google will be display on the Validation
sub-tab. Elements in errors or that triggered a warning are visually marked. Full error messages are included when possible:
Here is an example of a warning happening on an otherwise valid piece of structured data:
Likewise, errors are displayed and explained:
Structured data display
On the In content
sub-tab, you will find the raw version of all JSON-+LD structured data found on the current page.
Clicking the Validate Structured Data link will take you to the online Google Validator where you can also perform the same validation found on the "Validation" sub-tab.
