Structured Data markup

    Hi,

    I’m currently using Yoast SEO plugin but have realised that I cannot add custom structured data to different pages.

    And so, I started using another plugin – Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP – which also helps with mobile pages.

    I would like to know if I can only use Yoast SEO to input different structured data for different pages.

    Also, is it recommended for me to use YOAST with other plugins such as Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP or Rank Math?

    @droyed We’ve identified several concerns in your message and responded to each below:

    I would like to know if I can only use Yoast SEO to input different structured data for different pages.

    You can specify what type of page or content your site’s page is with Yoast SEO. You configure the defaults for this setting in WordPress under SEO>Search Appearance, but you can also edit this on an individual page level in the Yoast metabox on the ‘Schema’ tab.

    Also, all of our schema output can be changed, managed and extended. You can find our documentation for modifying the plugin’s schema output at the following link: https://developer.yoast.com/features/schema/api/

    Also, is it recommended for me to use YOAST with other plugins such as Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP or Rank Math?

    We don’t typically recommend using other schema plugins with Yoast SEO, except if you have a specific reason to.

    Thank you @devnihil

    I have a few follow up questions:

    1. I have two pages: Home page and About page. Should the ‘Home’ page have the Profile page type and ‘About me’ page have the About page type?

    2. How do I add other profile links to my schema markup? Currently Yoast provides only a handful of social links via WordPress user board.

    3. Thanks for providing links to Yoast developers page. I’m not an IT person and am very new to SEO. Do you have any example or case scenarios that I can follow and learn?

    1. Yoast SEO automatically describes your pages using schema.org. This helps search engines to understand your website and your content. If you’d like to understand more about how this works, you can read our guide on structured data.

    2. There’s a feature request to add other profile links in Yoast SEO. Sadly, there’s no other way, for now, to add other social links via a dashboard except using other third-party plugins.

    3. We have an ultimate guide to understanding the structured data schema: https://yoast.com/structured-data-schema-ultimate-guide/

    We hope this helps.
