JSON-LD Generator — Structured Data for SEO
Generate JSON-LD structured data for WebSite, WebPage, Article, BreadcrumbList, and FAQ schemas.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Article"
}
</script>Add the generated <script> block inside the <head> of your HTML page. Multiple schemas can coexist on the same page. Use Google's Rich Results Test to verify.

Structured Data and Rich Snippets
Structured data is machine-readable information added to your HTML that helps search engines understand your content. JSON-LD is the recommended format because it is easy to implement without modifying your existing HTML markup.
What is JSON-LD and Why Use It?
JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) encodes structured data as a JSON script block inside your webpage. Unlike Microdata or RDFa, which require wrapping HTML elements with attributes, JSON-LD is placed in a standalone script tag — usually in the page head — and does not interfere with your content structure. Google strongly recommends JSON-LD because it is easier to add and maintain. The script uses Schema.org vocabulary, a shared standard developed by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex, to describe entities such as articles, products, organizations, FAQ pages, and events. Search engines parse this data to power rich results in their SERPs.
Schema.org Types and Their Rich Result Benefits
Different Schema.org types unlock different rich results in Google. FAQPage schema enables expandable question-and-answer pairs directly in search results, significantly increasing the vertical space your listing occupies. Article schema helps Google understand publication dates and content type, which can improve inclusion in Top Stories. Product schema adds price, availability, and star ratings to listings. BreadcrumbList schema displays a navigational path instead of the raw URL in your snippet. Organization and WebSite schemas help establish knowledge panel data and enable the sitelinks search box. Each type has required and recommended properties — use this generator to ensure all required fields are included.
Implementing and Validating JSON-LD
After generating your JSON-LD with this tool, copy the entire script block and paste it into the head section of your HTML page. Once deployed, validate it using Google Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results). The tool will show which rich result types your page qualifies for and flag any errors. For ongoing monitoring, check the Rich Results report in Google Search Console. Note that adding valid structured data does not guarantee rich results — Google decides whether to show them based on quality and relevance criteria.
JSON-LD Best Practices
Implementing structured data correctly ensures search engines can parse it reliably and that your pages remain eligible for rich snippets over time.
Accuracy and Consistency Requirements
Google structured data guidelines require that JSON-LD markup accurately represents the visible content on the page. You cannot mark up content that is not visible to users, add fake reviews, or misrepresent product prices. Violations can result in manual actions that remove your pages from rich results entirely. Ensure the product name, price, and availability in the markup match the page content. For FAQPage schema, every question and answer must be present and readable on the page. For Article schema, the published and modified dates must be accurate. Consistency between markup and content is both a technical requirement and a quality signal.
Multiple Schema Types on One Page
A single page can contain multiple JSON-LD blocks for different schema types, and Google will process each independently. For example, a product page can have both Product schema (for price and availability) and FAQPage schema (for a product FAQ section), giving it two potential rich result types simultaneously. Place each type in its own separate script block to keep the code clean and maintainable. Avoid nesting unrelated schema types inside each other. The JSON-LD Generator on this site produces one type at a time — copy each generated block separately and include all of them in your page head.
FAQ
- What is JSON-LD structured data?
- JSON-LD is a method of encoding Linked Data using JSON. It tells search engines what your content is about, enabling rich search results.
- Where do I add JSON-LD to my page?
- Place the <script type="application/ld+json"> tag anywhere in the <head> or <body> of your HTML. Google recommends the <head> section.
- How do I verify my structured data is correct?
- Use Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) to validate your JSON-LD.
- What is the difference between JSON-LD and Microdata for structured data?
- JSON-LD is a separate JavaScript block in the <head> of a page — it does not modify HTML markup. Microdata embeds attributes (itemscope, itemtype, itemprop) directly into HTML elements. Google recommends JSON-LD for all structured data because it is easier to add, maintain, and validate without modifying content HTML. Microdata is valid but harder to implement and maintain. Schema.org defines the vocabulary used by both formats.
- How do I test if my JSON-LD structured data is valid?
- Use Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) to validate your JSON-LD and see which rich result types it qualifies for. Google Search Console's Enhancements report also shows structured data errors and warnings after Google crawls your site. The Schema Markup Validator (validator.schema.org) checks conformance to Schema.org specifications. Always test after implementation and after any changes to the structured data.
