What this skill does

# Schema Markup Generator Skill

Add JSON-LD structured data to pages to unlock rich results, improve CTR, and signal context to Google and AI systems.

---

## When to Use

- Use when adding or auditing JSON-LD schema for websites, SaaS apps, tools, articles, FAQs, breadcrumbs, or organization pages.
- Use when schema must be implemented in Next.js App Router or validated against Google Rich Results and Schema.org tooling.
- Use when a page has strong content but lacks structured data for search engines and rich-result eligibility.

## How to Add Schema in Next.js App Router

The cleanest approach is a reusable `JsonLd` component:

```jsx
// components/JsonLd.jsx
export function JsonLd({ data }) {
  const json = JSON.stringify(data).replace(/</g, '\\u003c');
  return (
    <script
      type="application/ld+json"
      dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: json }}
    />
  );
}
```

Use it in any page:
```jsx
import { JsonLd } from '@/components/JsonLd';

export default function MyPage() {
  return (
    <>
      <JsonLd data={mySchemaObject} />
      {/* rest of page */}
    </>
  );
}
```

    {
      "@type": "ListItem",

      "name": "Home",
      "item": "https://www.100seotools.com"

  ],
  "contactPoint": {
    "@type": "ContactPoint",
    "contactType": "customer support",
    "email": "[email protected]"
  }
}
```

## Combining Multiple Schemas on One Page

A tool page can have BreadcrumbList + SoftwareApplication + FAQPage:

```jsx
export default function ToolPage() {
  return (
    <>
      <JsonLd data={breadcrumbSchema} />
      <JsonLd data={softwareApplicationSchema} />
      <JsonLd data={faqSchema} />
      {/* page content */}
    </>
  );
}
```

Each schema lives in its own `<script>` tag — do NOT merge them into one object.

---

## Validation

Always validate schema before deploying:

1. **Google Rich Results Test** — https://search.google.com/test/rich-results
2. **Schema.org Validator** — https://validator.schema.org/
3. **Google Search Console** → Enhancements → check for warnings after deployment

```bash
# Quick check: schema appears in HTML
curl -s https://www.yourdomain.com/tools/keyword-density | grep -A 5 "application/ld+json"
```

## Schema Markup Checklist

- [ ] Homepage has `WebSite` schema
- [ ] Tool/app pages have `SoftwareApplication` schema
- [ ] Blog posts have `BlogPosting` / `Article` schema
- [ ] FAQ sections have `FAQPage` schema
- [ ] Step-by-step guides have `HowTo` schema
- [ ] All non-homepage pages have `BreadcrumbList`
- [ ] About/contact page has `Organization` schema
- [ ] All URLs in schema are absolute HTTPS
- [ ] Schema validated with Google Rich Results Test
- [ ] No schema errors in Google Search Console

## Limitations

- Does not guarantee rich-result eligibility or display; Google and other consumers decide whether to use valid schema.
- Generated examples must be adapted to the site's real content, legal entity details, ratings, pricing, and availability.
- Always validate deployed HTML, not only source code, because frameworks and rendering modes can change the final markup.
