Schema SEO Guide for WordPress

Using Structured Data on WordPress Websites

As search engines become more and more sophisticated, people in marketing are seeing the importance of structured data. I have been using Schema from the beginning, and have watched how important it has become for anyone creating unique content. From recipes to how-to, Schema allows you to connect directly with search engines to explain your content. 

Because you are on this page, you probably understand how important structured data is.

Do I need Schema on WordPress?

With a lot of experience in the CPG industry, I have found that schema is essential for WordPress. Without schema, it can be hard to rank for certain topics that trigger rich results. We have also seen schema increase organic traffic by over 100%, just after adding it to relevant pages. For anyone with custom content listed on the schema.org website, you should be using schema to optimize your visibility across search engines. 

How To Install Schema

Use A Plugin For Schema

Sometimes the easiest, and the best option, is to use a plugin. For schema, it isn’t much different. Once you work to generate your schema code using the schema.org, you can use a plugin to install it on your website. Here are some plugins we recommend:

Header Footer Scripts

Header Footer Code Manager

Install Schema Manually

If you have a developer that helps you with your website, or you are savvy enough, you can install schema manually through your theme. 

If you have a child theme, we recommend installing your schema directly into your child theme in case there are theme updates. This will ensure you don’t have to reinstall. 

Warning, this method is more complicated.
