Why is my schema markup not generating rich results?
Last updated May 2, 2026
Quick Answer
Common schema issues: validation errors in code, schema that doesn't match visible page content, schema on pages Google hasn't indexed recently, or schema for content types not eligible for rich results. Test with Google's Rich Results Test tool and Schema.org validator. Ensure your schema accurately represents actually-visible content—Google penalizes misleading markup.
