We were curious, so this past February and March, we asked the schema markup doers worldwide to tell us who they are, what challenges they face doing schema markup and the tools they use today to solve them. Below is the summary of what we discovered and quotes from our survey respondents.\nWas there anything shocking in the results? I am most shocked by how many people choose to do the markup manually and the burden it must be to keep it up-to-date, deployed, and error-free (but I\u2019m biased as the co-founder of Schema App). However, I was not surprised by the varied actors, ranging from SEO Specialists to business owners and CTOs.\nI talk to our Schema App users weekly, seeing the range of skills and understanding why business owners find themselves doing new and innovative things to move their business forward. What was most refreshing in the survey results was the passion, energy and enthusiasm for doing schema markup.  Everyone has their own way of doing it, but they share the same challenges and yearn for the same outcomes.\nHere are the details\u2026\nWho is doing Schema Markup?\nIn our survey, 40% of our respondents are doing schema markup for small companies with <5 employees. The second largest group is large enterprises, comprising 13.3% of respondents. What does this tell us? Everyone is doing schema markup! From SMB to Enterprise.\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5199 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=697%2C305&ssl=1\" alt=\"Company Size Pie Chart\" width=\"697\" height=\"305\" data-id=\"5199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 697w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize-600x263.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize-300x131.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize-100x44.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize-200x88.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize-30x13.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/companysize.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/>\nOn top of it, it looks like Digital Marketing Agencies and SMBs make up most of the people doing Schema Markup. So it is a mix of companies and agencies using this as part of their online strategy.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=742%2C310&ssl=1\" alt=\"Organization Type Pie Chart\" width=\"742\" height=\"310\" data-id=\"5201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 742w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType-600x251.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType-300x125.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType-100x42.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType-200x84.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType-30x13.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/OrgType.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=684&amp;ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/>\nWhile we aren\u2019t surprised to see the Head of Search, SEO Specialist, and Digital Marketer as some of the top schema marketers, did you think the Business Owner, CEO and CTO would also be on the list? When I asked a CEO why he was doing it, he said he was the one at the company looking at how they can differentiate using new tactics and strategies. Schema Markup was one he was looking at.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5202 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=693%2C310&ssl=1\" alt=\"Role Pie Chart\" width=\"693\" height=\"310\" data-id=\"5202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 693w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema-600x268.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema-300x134.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema-100x45.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema-200x89.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema-30x13.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/RoleSchema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/>\nFrequency of Schema Markup\nHave you ever wondered how often others are updating their schema markup? We asked and they are primarily updating it monthly, some tending to do it weekly. This will be interesting data to map to the size of the business or role.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5200 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=629%2C307&ssl=1\" alt=\"Schema Markup Frequency Pie Chart\" width=\"629\" height=\"307\" data-id=\"5200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 629w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema-600x293.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema-300x146.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema-100x49.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema-200x98.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema-30x15.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HowOftenSchema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/>\nChallenges doing Schema Markup\nFinally, we asked what they key challenges are doing schema markup. The top challenge were:\n\nShowing the value of doing schema markup \u2013 reporting the impact and results\nMaintaining \u201chealth\u201d of Schema markup when Google makes changes\nDeveloping a strategy on what I should markup with schema\n\nWe are excited to help solve these challenges with Schema App.\nOptions included:\n\nImplementing JSON-LD on different web platforms, not always easy to find a way to add to page\nUnderstanding Schema markup vocabulary\nMaintaining \u201chealth\u201d of Schema markup when Google makes changes\nShowing the value of Schema markup \u2013 reporting impact\/results\nDeveloping a strategy on what I should markup with Schema\nDiscovering existing markup on the site or markup competitors are doing\nFiguring out how to do Schema Markup at scale\nOther\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5203 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=798%2C318&ssl=1\" alt=\"Biggest Challenges with Schema Bar Chart\" width=\"798\" height=\"318\" data-id=\"5203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 798w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-600x239.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-300x120.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-768x306.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-100x40.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-200x80.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges-30x12.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Split-of-Challenges.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=684&amp;ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/>\nIn their words\u2026\n\u201cWhen I first learned about the existence of schema, I was so confused on how to implement it. I am not a developer. After trying many online generator tools and finding them unsatisfactory, I turned to my programmer hoping he could take over this task for me. He explained it was a different code altogether than what he writes. I felt overwhelmed when he confided he had no idea at all how to do it, even after spending a little time looking at it.\u201d  Owner Digital Agency\n \n\u201cI began learning schema markup a few years ago by reading online articles about it. The examples given on schema.org were not clear and sometimes it seemed they did not follow even their own rules.\u201d Performing Artist\n \n\u201cWorse is that some of the schema is supported (but the rich snippets team) but not in the Structured Data Testing Tool.  In addition, there\u2019s usually very little way to communicate the value of schema, though it remains a \u2018hot\u2019 topic so it\u2019s still easily sold to clients.\u201d CEO of Digital Marketing Agency\n \n\u201cSchema markup is one of those things that when I first approached it felt a bit like witchcraft. However, after reading up a bit more on it I getting much more familiar with the structure and syntax. It\u2019s still very much a trial and error process for me as I find that some of the guides out there, when put through Googles tool, don\u2019t actual parse correctly. Very frustrating\u2026 but I\u2019m getting there.\u201d\nTools for Schema Markup\n40% of respondents do their Schema Markup today manually, while the others use a range of plugins, add-ons, generators and Schema App.\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5204 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema.png?strip=all&lossy=1&resize=797%2C310&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tools Used Pie Chart\" width=\"797\" height=\"310\" data-id=\"5204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 797w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-600x233.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-300x117.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-768x299.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-100x39.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-200x78.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema-30x12.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 30w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w, https:\/\/ezk8caoodod.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Tools_for_Schema.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=684&amp;ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" \/>\nSchema App\nSchema App empowers digital marketers with the tools they need to do ongoing maintenance of structured data and to create high value custom reporting.

On LinkedIn, the top companies for Web Developers include IBM, Upwork, and Microsoft, with 2,707 , 2,469 , and 2,455 members, respectively.

They work for a wide variety of companies, such as non-profits, that are usually less than 5 employees.\nChallenges with schema markup:\n\u201cIt is hard to get schema examples to fit for all the different business sites that need it\u201d \u2013 Web Design Firm\nWhat they wish was solved by a tool\/automation:\n\u201cIf a venue\u2019s address is given on one page, other pages could (and should!) refer to it by ID only [Referring to Google Structured Data Testing Tool] \u201d \u2013 Amateur Theater\nSummary\nThe results from the survey clearly state that Schema Markup is not reserved for the SEO elite, but is a language that SEO enthusiasts and experts alike are actively adopting to translate their content to be understood and perform in search engines.  They desire more examples and answers on best practices to figure out how to represent their brands best. While there are tools available to automate the markup process, many choose to do schema markup manually.\nThroughout the different user types, there is a strong desire for automation based on the page type. Specifically, Heads of Search and Business Owners wish for a tool that suggests schema based on input URL, SEO Specialists desire an automated schema markup tool that generates the frame of schema code with all possibilities, and Digital Marketers want automatic JSON-LD markup that is page specific. There is a clear interest in automation tools, but these users still choose to create schema markup manually because the current tools do not yet reach their goals in automation.\nThe tools they currently use are Schema App, WordPress Plugins, Google Tag Manager, Schema Markup Validator, Rich Results Testing Tool, and Web JSON-LD Generators.
