WebPage Schema Missing

Issue No: 236

Category: Structured Data & Rich Results

Issue type: Issue

Priority: IMPORTANT

Description

The page is missing a WebPage schema block (or appropriate subtype), reducing the ability of search engines to classify the page's content type and intent.

How do we capture it

• Parse all crawled pages for JSON-LD with "@type" matching WebPage, AboutPage, ContactPage, FAQPage, SearchResultsPage, ProfilePage, or CheckoutPage
• If absent → trigger issue

What to store

StructuredDataAudit record with schemaType = WebPage, issueNumber = 56, detectedSubtype set to the actual subtype found (e.g. AboutPage), plus StructuredDataField rows:

Field	Type	Comment
has_breadcrumb	boolean	breadcrumb BreadcrumbList linked in the block
has_is_part_of	boolean	isPartOf linking to the parent WebSite entity
detected_subtype	text	Specific subtype found, e.g. AboutPage, ContactPage

Core audit fields used: isPresent, hasName, hasUrl, hasDescription, rawJson

Condition for trigger

• Trigger Rule 1: Schema absent
  • Target Field: isPresent
  • Evaluation Logic: isPresent = false
  • Severity: IMPORTANT
  • Diagnostic Message: "No WebPage type block found on this page."

• Schema.org — WebPage
• Schema.org — WebPage subtypes

Long description

WebPage classifies a single page's purpose. Subtypes give greater specificity:

Page	Recommended Type
About Us	AboutPage
Contact	ContactPage
Search Results	SearchResultsPage
User Profile	ProfilePage
Checkout	CheckoutPage

Minimal example:

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "AboutPage",
  "name": "About Us — Example Corp",
  "url": "https://www.example.com/about",
  "description": "Learn about our mission and team.",
  "isPartOf": { "@type": "WebSite", "url": "https://www.example.com" }
}

How to Fix

1. Identify the correct subtype for each page
2. Add JSON-LD block with name, url, description
3. Link to parent site via isPartOf
4. Embed breadcrumb for pages with navigation hierarchy
