Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with your schema and structured data questions.
1) In Available Schema Types, I dont see the FAQ template, neither the How to template. (on the tutorials, I have seen both of them are available with the free version) Should I upgrade ?
The FAQ schema and How to schema are both available on the Free version. Please try adding an FAQ Block and/or How To block to your page and check that the schema is working.
If the above does not work, please use a tool like imgbb.com for screenshots or a tool like loom.com for screencasts and share the generated links here.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
Hello, You will find a screenshot of the schema generator. I have added a FAQ block on the page, as you can see in the image.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
Please note that when you add the FAQ blocks, Rank Math automatically adds the FAQ Schema for that page. It will not appear on the Schema tab of this page editor. You can check the page URL directly with Google’s Rich Results Test to make sure if the FAQ Schema is properly added or not.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
1) Can you confirm me I dont need to add the json template to the FAQ blocks ? And to the How to block also ?
2) To add structured schema (with stars) to my review product posts, should I upgrade ?
3) What is the difference between Description in Article Template in Schema Builder – and the metadescription in the settings of the page (at the top right) ? Should I copy paste the metadescription into this description ?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hello,
1. Yes, the FAQ and HowTo blocks already add the necessary schema data automatically on the page/post upon using them.
Please also note that those schema types only appear in the schema generator when you’re using Rank Math PRO plugin as we have outlined in these sections:
https://rankmath.com/kb/rich-snippets/#faq
https://rankmath.com/kb/rich-snippets/#howto
2. The star ratings can only be added to a specific set of Schema types, so this would depend on the type of Schema you are using for your website.
You can see from this tutorial how to add star ratings on your website with the help of Rank Math: https://rankmath.com/kb/earning-star-ratings-in-serps/
3. You won’t need to copy and paste the description of your posts to that field in the Article Schema as Rank Math will use the meta description you’ve added for the article automatically.
It also shows the pre-filled variable %seo_description%, so you can leave that field blank as it is automated like the headline section.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hello,
How could I add the structured data SitenavigationELement for my main page with Rankmath ?
Thanks a lot
Hello,
Rank Math automatically includes the SiteNavigationElement Schema for the headings added to the Table of Contents by Rank Math.
Please refer to the screenshot below :
We have a dedicated tutorial on “How to Add Rank Math’s Table of Contents Block?” to help you to add Rank Math’s Table of Contents block.
Hence you can get this done by adding the Table of Contents block to your websites homepage.
However you can also , you can add it manually to your websites homepage.
Here’s a basic example of how SiteNavigationElement Schema will look like:
https://pastebin.com/5mbqBXEd
You need to put this code at the top of your website. You can put it in a file called “header.php” part of your website’s theme.
If you don’t want to do that, you can use a plugin like “Insert Headers And Footers” to help you put it there.
Make sure to replace https://www.yoursite.com with your own website address. Also, ensure the SiteNavigationElement items match your website’s main menu items.
Lastly, remember to check if your structured data is correct. You can do this using Google’s Rich Results Test Tool.
We hope that helps, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Thank you.

Here’s the documentation from Google that you can follow to learn more about it: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/sitelinks

Hello,
Im going to use the schema Product for my reviews.
How is it possible to show the positive and negatives points (negativeNotes/positiveNotes) ?
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/product?hl=fr#pros-cons
Thanks for your help,
Hello,
In this case, you would need to use this method to extend the Schema from our plugin and add additional properties:
https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#extend-json-ld-data
However, this can be easily done with the Rank Math PRO feature. Here’s a link for more information:
https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-add-pros-and-cons-schema/
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Hello,
Ok, then I should add this code in the rank-math.php File ?
/**
* Collect data to output in JSON-LD.
*
* @param array $unsigned An array of data to output in json-ld.
* @param JsonLD $unsigned JsonLD instance.
*/
add_filter( ‘rank_math/json_ld’, function( $data, $jsonld ) {
return [];
}, 99, 2);
And after, how and where could I add the negativeNotes and positiveNotes for each review ?
Thanks
