Schema FAQ for Weebly
Below, we have compiled some of the most common questions we get regarding using structured data on Weebly.
How Do I Create my Own Schema?
Using the information found on Schema.org, you are able to put together your own custom schema that is tailored for your website. If this task seems a bit complicated, you can work with a developer (like me) to help you write your code.
There are also some automatic tools you can use to help you structure your schema. Some of the tools work well and have updated standards, but oftentimes Google is changing how they read and analyze schema, which makes it hard for generative tools to keep up.
I have a local business, do I need schema?
Funny that you ask, cause Google has a structured data format made exactly for local businesses. This structured data associates your business and your Google My Business account, and can also work to associate some of your SEO juice coming from directories.
Can I put Schema across my whole Weebly website at once?
The Weebly website builder does not make adding Schema easy, but using the SEO functionalities in the backend, you should be able to add custom Javascript to every page on your website. If you’re working on a local business Schema or an organization schema, you are able to easily implement schema across the whole website.
How do I generate Rich Snippets on my Weebly Website?
Rich markup on your website is going to be the best way for Google to generate snippets for your website on Google search. If you are optimizing your recipe schema, you will want to be generating rich results across Google that are increasing your impressions.
