Structured Data

Structured data is a standardized format (typically JSON-LD using schema.org vocabulary) embedded in your HTML that explicitly describes the content of a page to search engines.

Search engines use structured data to generate rich results — FAQs, breadcrumbs, product ratings, how-to steps, and more. JSON-LD is the recommended format because it is decoupled from the HTML markup and easy to manage programmatically.

You embed JSON-LD in a `<script type="application/ld+json">` tag in your page. Common types include Organization, WebSite, Article, FAQPage, HowTo, BreadcrumbList, and Product.

Indxel generates structured data via helper functions like `getOrganizationSchema()` and `getFAQSchema()`, and validates that your JSON-LD is syntactically correct and uses valid schema.org types.

Example

// JSON-LD for a FAQ
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What is Indxel?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "Indxel is developer-first SEO infrastructure."
    }
  }]
}
</script>
