What This Skill Does
Schema Type Selection: Recommends appropriate schema types
JSON-LD Generation: Creates valid structured data markup
Property Mapping: Maps your content to schema properties
With ~~web crawler connected:
Automatically crawl and extract page content (visible text, headings, lists, tables), existing schema markup, page metadata, and structured content elements that map to schema properties.
With manual data only:
Ask the user to provide:
Page URL or full HTML content
Page type (article, product, FAQ, how-to, local business, etc.)
Specific data needed for schema (prices, dates, author info, Q&A pairs, etc.)
Current schema markup (if optimizing existing)
Proceed with the full workflow using provided data. Note in the output which data is from automated extraction vs. user-provided data.
Instructions
When a user requests schema markup:
Identify Content Type and Rich Result Opportunity
Reference the CORE-EEAT Benchmark item O05 (Schema Markup) for content-type to schema mapping:
Source of each data point clearly stated (~~web crawler extraction, user-provided, or manual entry)
Example
User: "Generate FAQ schema for a page about SEO with 3 questions"
Output:
## FAQ Schema for SEO Page### Schema Markup```json
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is SEO?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing websites and content to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). It involves technical optimizations, content creation, and link building to increase organic visibility and drive qualified traffic to your website."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "How long does SEO take to work?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "SEO typically takes 3-6 months to show significant results, though this varies based on competition, domain authority, and effort invested. New websites may take 6-12 months, while established sites with existing authority can see improvements in 1-3 months for less competitive keywords."
}
},
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is SEO better than paid advertising?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "SEO and paid advertising serve different purposes. SEO provides sustainable, long-term traffic without per-click costs but takes time to build. Paid advertising delivers immediate results but stops when you stop paying. Most successful businesses use both: paid ads for immediate leads and SEO for long-term growth."
}
}
]
}
Implementation: Wrap the above JSON-LD in <script type="application/ld+json">...</script> and place in <head> or before </body>. Test with ~~schema validator.
