Yoast and Schema

    Hello, I want to set up structured data on a site that I administer.

    I read that Yoast can do this.

    But I don’t understand everything…

    First, when you edit a page, and go to the “Schema” section of Yoast, you end up with two drop-down menus, one for the pages, one for the articles. It’s the same for articles, two drop-down menus, one for pages, one for articles.

    Question: why not have a drop-down menu for pages when editing pages, and a drop-down menu for articles when editing an article?

    For my classic web pages (no faq for example), I selected “web page” from the drop-down menu, but this does not seem to have the effect of putting rich results on Google.

    On another site that I administered at one time, if in the drop-down menu, for a faq, I put “faq”, again no enriched results. I had to go through a “faq” block to get an enriched result.

    If I randomly test this page: https://www.ahpc-energie.fr/plombier-avignon/ , with the Google Rich Results Testing Tool, I see that I have two types of structured data, so the breadcrumb. But it does not appear in Yoast’s Schema drop-down menu.

    That’s a lot of questions, but I don’t see how to get out of it. The official doc is a bit succinct on this subject.

    Thank you very much and good afternoon

    Hello @ungars

    Thanks for your question about schema.

    The Web Page type is a normal web page, and it’s our default setting for?Pages; it also applies to Posts. Also, for Posts, we allow you to select Article page type; this is a normal article and outputs the?Article?schema.

    I see that https://www.ahpc-energie.fr/plombier-avignon/ is a page, and you’ve chosen the Web Page type. I checked the URL in the schema validator, and I see the Web Page schema

    You also mentioned seeing the breadcrumb schema in the rich results test. According to schema.org, every web page is implicitly assumed to be declared to be of type WebPage, so the various properties about that webpage, such as?breadcrumb?may be used.
