In this article, I will show you how to insert schema into WordPress. But first, you must understand what WordPress schema is and why it is central to your SEO strategy. So let’s start!
What is Schema Markup?
A schema is a subjective structure or concept that helps organize and represent information. In computer programming, a schema is a management and structure for a database.
The schema is helpful because it allows us to take shortcuts to interpret the vast volume of information and knowledge available in any environment.
Schema markup can increase your website’s traffic as all major search engines count the schema’s impact when presenting the Search Engine Result Page. Also, schema markup is believed to increase click-through rates in addition to improving your search engine rankings.
The Schema Plugin
The process of adding a schema markup plugin to WordPress is simplified using the schema plugin. The revolutionary plugin helps to enable various schema types and is also compatible with custom post types.
The schema plugin offers a list of features and uses JSON-LD to enable different types of schema and supports other installed plugins as well, allowing you to gain the full benefit of your markup.
What is Schema.org?
Schema is the integrated home on the web for the schema project, a collaboration between Google, Bing, Yahoo, and the Russian search engine Yandex (the one trying out a search without links) to standardized structured markup.
