Frequently Asked Questions
Is schema a ranking boost by itself?
It helps machines understand the page and can enable rich results. It is not a magic rank button.
Where do I put JSON-LD?
Usually a <script type="application/ld+json"> in the page head or before </body>. One primary type is enough to start.
