    What is Schema Markup?

    Definition

    Schema markup is structured data (typically JSON-LD format) embedded in HTML that helps search engines understand the content and context of a page. Schema describes what entities are on a page (a course, an organization, a person), their properties, and relationships. Modern search engines use schema markup to better index content and display enhanced search results.

    Schema markup for learning platforms

    Schema tells search engines what you are. Learning platforms should use schema to mark up courses (title, description, provider, duration, instructor), organizations (name, type, location), and educational offerings. Clear schema helps search engines display your content in rich results: course cards, instructor profiles, and educational resource snippets. This improves visibility and click-through rates.
