    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    You can follow this guide to implement schema on your website:
    https://rankmath.com/blog/schema-markup/

    Regarding OpenGraph, just by adding the social image, title, and description, we automatically generate the required OpenGraph meta tags for the website. You can have a look at this guide for a quick reference: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-box-social-tab/

    You can also set a default OpenGraph Thumbnail from Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta > OpenGraph Thumbnail. Here’s a guide regarding this option: https://rankmath.com/kb/titles-and-meta/#open-graph-thumbnail

    In addition to FB and Twitter, there are other social networks. How to customize markup for them?

    Many social media platforms follow the OpenGraph protocols for fetching information about the page and hence the tags that we add work for most, if not all, of the social media platforms.

    For Open Graph markup – what settings are set automatically?

    As mentioned previously, only by setting the social image, title, and description, all the required tags are generated. However, if you’ll set a default OpenGraph thumbnail, then you would only need to set a socail image to the post/page where you want a custom image, other than the default one.

    The Title and Description are, by default, automatically picked from the SEO Title and Description fields.

    As I understand it, there are general settings and settings, there are settings for individual categories of pages, and there are settings for each page. What setup order should be, if any: regular pages, contacts, services, product pages (not a store, we sell paint in bulk).

    If you’re referring to all the settings, then you can follow these guides to set up the plugin settings:

    How to set up Sсhema markup for the homepage?

    On the homepage, just the default schema should work fine as we already add the sitelinks searchbox along with some useful information about the organization/website.

    So, unless you’re very specific about any schema that you wish to use, you would not require any schema, other than the default one, on the homepage.

    Hope this helps.

    Thnak you.

    Thanks for your reply. Let me ask you some more questions:
    1. How quickly will the changes introduced by Schema?
    2. 1. How quickly will the changes introduced by Open Graph?

    Hello,

    1. The changes are introduced immediately by the Schema but it can take some time for Google to crawl your site and identify those changes. Schema submits the structured data to Google, however, it is completely up to Google if they decide to show that in the SERPs or not.

    2. The changes made to OpenGraph tags will take effect immediately while sharing the links on the social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    Another question: how do I add images to Schema? The plugin says: ” To configure the meta tags associated with attachments, disable the redirection of attachments to parent ones. ” I don’t understand this requirement? how to do it?

    Hello,

    Could you confirm which schema type you’re using/referring to? For schemas like WooCommerce Product schema, we automatically add the image to the schema based on the added product image.

    For other modifiable schemas, you can edit the schema and add the image URL in the designated fields. For more details, you can follow the schema guide I shared in my previous reply.

    The plugin says: ” To configure the meta tags associated with attachments, disable the redirection of attachments to parent ones. ” I don’t understand this requirement? how to do it?

    This message is shown in the Attachments settings, under Titles & Meta, when the Redirect Attachments option is enabled from Rank Math > General Settings > Links > Redirect Attachments.

    This option redirects the attachment pages to their parent posts. You can disable this option to be able to modify the Attachment settings.

    However, I suggest you have a look at this guide before disabling the option: https://rankmath.com/kb/should-you-redirect-attachments/

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
