How to Import JSON-LD Schema Markup With Rank Math

In this knowledgebase article, we’ll walk you through how you can use Rank Math PRO to import JSON-LD Schema-Markup.

What is JSON-LD Markup?

JSON-LD or JavaScript Öbject Notation for Linked Data is a lightweight data interchangeable format that uses the vocabulary of Schema.org to describe what a web page is about. 

JSON-LD is used in the page in such a way that it does not impact the existing HTML structure and tags. Web- developers use JSON-LD as it follows the JSON syntax and is simple to implement. JSON-LD helps to create an overall better web by annotating the elements on a page and structuring the data which is further used by the search engines to organize and connect data easily.

How to Import JSON-LD Schema With Rank Math

Before importing Schema from HTML code please ensure that you’ve enabled the Schema module from Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Module section. The import feature of the Schema Module is available only in the PRO version of Rank Math. We recommend installing the Rank Math PRO plugin to make the most of the Schemas supported by the plugin.

If you’re using the Schema Markup for the very first time, we recommend you to go through our massive guide on Configuring Schema Markup with the help of the Rank Math plugin.
