It is widely used by enterprises to manage content and deliver personalized experiences across various channels, supporting industries from eCommerce to Healthcare and everything in between.\nBy leveraging Sitecore\u2019s capabilities, businesses can create, manage, and optimize customer experiences effectively.\nImportance of Implementing Schema Markup on Sitecore\nImplementing Schema Markup when using a Content Management System (CMS) like Sitecore is critical to your website\u2019s success.\nWhen you implement Schema Markup on your website, you translate your content into a machine-readable format. This can help search engines understand and contextualize the content on your website, leading to improved search performance, increased click-through rates (CTR), and higher conversions from search.\nApart from supporting your SEO efforts, implementing Schema Markup can also:\n\nEnhance your website\u2019s visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) through rich results and other enhanced search features\nResult in higher click-through rates and increases in non-branded queries, which showcase measurable results and ROI\nBuild your organization\u2019s content knowledge graph, supporting AI initiatives and deep machine understanding of your content and brand.\n\nWithin Sitecore\u2019s Content Hub, users have access to a configurable data model, which is a structured representation of the underlying Content Hub database. This includes definitions of entities like assets, products, or projects. However, this can still be ambiguous to search engines and machines.\nTherefore, by implementing Schema Markup to describe these entities in your data model, you can ensure that search engines and machines can understand the data in detail and with proper context.\nHow to Implement Schema Markup on Sitecore\nAlthough the benefits of Schema Markup for your website are clear, challenges can arise when implementing it within a complex CMS like Sitecore. Before jumping into implementation, it\u2019s important to first know your options and what best suits your team\u2019s capabilities and business goals.\n1. Implementing Schema Markup Manually\nOne of the ways you can implement Schema Markup within Sitecore is to manually author your markup in JSON-LD and manually add it to the HTML of the page. You can review Perficient\u2019s \u201cHow to Implement Schema.org in Sitecore\u201d article on the exact steps.\nWhile it is possible to implement Schema Markup manually within Sitecore, the process is technical and labor-intensive. If you choose to go this route, potential challenges include:\n\nLack of Scalability: Manually implementing Schema Markup becomes impractical when dealing with thousands of pages or multiple domains. The process is not only time-consuming but also costly.\nMaintenance Difficulties: If your organization frequently updates your site\u2019s content, you\u2019ll need to maintain your Schema Markup constantly to ensure it aligns with the content on your page.\n\nIT teams and digital marketers often struggle to find the time to update structured data across large, complex websites. With enterprises that have extensive content spread across multiple domains, manual upkeep can become increasingly difficult and inefficient in time.\nAn alternative would be to use a plugin to implement your Schema Markup. Most organizations seek a solution that is easy to maintain and can scale dynamically with their content, something that an internal manual approach often cannot provide. However, there are currently no Schema Markup plugins that can automate Schema Markup deployment in Sitecore.\nDiscover how Avid overcame this plugin limitation by partnering with Schema App.Read the Case Study\n2. Leverage a Schema Markup Solution\nThe most optimal way to implement Schema Markup on Sitecore would be to utilize an end-to-end Schema Markup Solution like Schema App.\nPartnering with Schema App can simplify the process of implementing and managing Structured Data on your Sitecore website. By using Schema App, you can achieve scalability, easy maintenance, comprehensive reporting, and access to strategic content recommendations and ongoing support.\nHow does Schema App Implement Schema Markup on your Sitecore Website?\n1. Create Your Schema Markup Strategy\nWhen you first partner with Schema App, you\u2019ll be assigned a Customer Success Manager (CSM) to oversee your Schema Markup strategy throughout the engagement.\nYour Customer Success Manager will work with you to develop a Schema Markup Strategy for your website. This includes aligning your goals for implementing Schema Markup and scoping your website for appropriate Schema.org types and properties\n2. Author Your Schema Markup using the Schema App Highlighter\nOnce your team has defined and approved the strategy, your Customer Success Manager will start authoring your Schema Markup using the Schema App Editor and Highlighter.\nOne of the key features that sets Schema App apart from other Schema Markup solutions is the Schema App Highlighter. The Highlighter allows users to create Schema Markup templates by highlighting specific elements on a page and mapping them to the relevant Schema.org property. This template can then be applied to other similarly templated pages (i.e. blogs, recipes, location pages, product detail pages, etc.), ensuring the Schema Markup aligns with the content on the page at scale.\nFurthermore, the Highlighter will dynamically update your Schema Markup whenever content changes are made. as your content changes. This means that your Schema Markup evolves in real time and always reflects the most current version of your content.\nWithin the Highlighter, you\u2019ll also find our Omni Linked Entity Recognition (Omni LER) feature. If you want to build a knowledge graph and disambiguate entities on your site, Omni LER will automatically link your entities to external identifiers from authoritative knowledge bases. This adds clarity and context, making your content more precise and authoritative in search.\n3. Deploy Your Markup on Sitecore\nOnce your Schema Markup has been authored using Schema App\u2019s authoring tools, we will work with you to set up the integration between the Schema App platform and Sitecore.\nAt Schema App, we typically use JavaScript to deploy Schema Markup to Sitecore. This method is both efficient and scalable, requiring the implementation of a JavaScript tag in the HTML head or the setup of a tag manager. You can learn more about our JavaScript implementation here.\nOnce the initial integration is set up, any Schema Markup authored by your Customer Success Manager for your website will be deployed seamlessly to Sitecore.\n4. Perform Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring of Your Schema Markup\nSchema Markup is not a one-and-done process. Similarly to how your content will change and be updated over time, factors outside of your control may also change, demanding shifts in your Schema Markup strategy. These changes could include:\n\nChanges to Google\u2019s structured data documentation\nRequired properties for rich result eligibility may change\nUpdates to the Schema.org vocabulary\nShifts in your organization\u2019s goals\n\nWhatever it may be, staying current with these changes is essential. To ensure the long-term success of your Schema Markup strategy, your Customer Success Manager will work with you to manage and optimize your Schema Markup deployment. You can read this article to learn about the ongoing services offered by our Customer Success team after the initial implementation process.\nIn addition to implementation and management, your Customer Success Manager will also provide strategic content recommendations that are invaluable for both existing and new pages within your Sitecore CMS. These recommendations will help you:\n\nTailor your content to a specific Schema.org Type or topic\nIdentify opportunities to enhance your Schema Markup for better search features and rich result eligibility\nCreate a more robust content knowledge graph\n\nRead our case study with Sharp Healthcare to see how Schema App\u2019s content recommendations supported the success of their CMS migration. Read the Case Study\n \n5. Measure the Performance of your Schema Markup to inform Future Planning\nPerformance measurement is crucial to the long-term success of your Schema Markup strategy. When you work with Schema App, you\u2019ll get access to our Schema Performance Analytics (SPA) platform where you can track the performance of your Schema Markup.\nIn addition to having access to SPA, your Customer Success Manager will also perform Business Reviews to help you understand the impact of your Schema Markup strategy and areas for improvement. This ensures ongoing improvement in your Schema Markup processes and outcomes.\nAs SEO trends and best practices evolve, your schema strategy must adapt to keep pace with these changes.\nImplement Schema Markup on Your Sitecore Website With Schema App\nImplementing Schema Markup on Sitecore can enhance your website\u2019s search visibility and user engagement.
