A full schema audit aims to ensure that your website has the most comprehensive schema types and corresponding attributes in place for your niche.

Schema markup is a vital tool for search engine optimization.

Structured data:

  • Makes it easier for search engines to understand your content and index it properly.
  • Can improve the appearance of your search results.
  • Can help you rank higher in search results.
  • Can help you appear in rich results.

A full schema audit should include a review of the following four key areas:

  1. All schema types being used on your website.
  2. Schema errors.
  3. A competitive SERP schema gap analysis.
  4. Implementation of fixes/new schema identified in steps 2 and 3.
