Schema.org structured data is a standardized vocabulary used to help search engines understand and present your website content more effectively in search results.
Adding schema in Framer allows you to enable features like rich snippets, FAQs, breadcrumbs, and sitelinks directly on your pages.
This guide shows how to implement structured data manually or using code embeds in Framer to boost visibility and improve indexing accuracy.
What Is Schema.org and Why Should You Use It?
Schema.org is a collaborative, structured data vocabulary developed by major search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex to standardize the way content is interpreted and indexed across the web.
According to Google’s Developer Documentation, structured data helps search engines better understand the meaning of your page content and present it with enhanced features in search results, such as rich snippets or knowledge panels.
There are various types of schema, including Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Product, Event, and Service, each tailored to represent specific content entities.
For example, using the FAQPage schema on your help section allows Google to display questions and answers directly in search results, increasing click-through rates by up to 30%, as reported by Search Engine Journal.
Dr. John Mueller, Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google, emphasizes that “structured data is essential for helping our systems understand content better. It doesn't directly improve rankings, but it enhances visibility and feature eligibility.”
Adding schema in Framer, a no-code web builder, typically involves embedding custom code blocks. To implement Schema.org in Framer:
Add an
Embedblock to your page.Paste your JSON-LD schema (the preferred structured data format).
Validate your schema using Google’s Rich Results Test or Schema Markup Validator.
Why You Should Use Schema.org
The purpose of Schema.org is to increase semantic clarity between your web content and search engines.
Efficiency is measured by enhanced click-through rates, higher visibility in SERPs, and increased eligibility for rich results.
While Schema.org markup does not directly influence search rankings, it indirectly improves SEO by making your pages easier to classify and more visually engaging in search listings.
Instructions to Improve Efficiency:
Always use JSON-LD format, which is recommended by Google.
Apply schema only to visible, relevant content to ensure compliance and accuracy.
Regularly test and validate your markup using structured data testing tools.
Update schema with new entity types as your site grows (e.g., adding
RevieworHowTotypes).
How to Add Schema in Framer
Framer doesn’t have a native schema plugin (yet), but you can add it manually using JSON-LD — the format Google prefers.
Step 1: Open the Framer Page
Go to your Framer project
Select the page you want to enhance (for example,
/about,/services, etc.)
Step 2: Scroll to Custom Code
In the right-hand panel, scroll to Custom Code
Find the “End of head tag” field
Step 3: Paste in Your Schema
Wrap your schema like this:
Important: The schema must be wrapped inside <script type="application/ld+json">. If not, Framer will throw an error.
Pro Tips to Implement Schema Right
Implementing Schema.org in Framer requires precision to ensure both search engines and Framer’s environment handle the structured data correctly.
Schema markup is a type of code (typically written in JSON-LD) that annotates specific pieces of content on your webpage so that search engines can interpret their meaning accurately.
Efficiency is determined by the clarity, brevity, and alignment between markup and on-page content, and improper use can lead to ignored or even penalized data.
✅ Do This | ❌ Avoid This |
|---|---|
Use JSON-LD format inside an Embed block — JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is the format recommended by Google for structured data. Embedding it via Framer’s code component ensures seamless integration. | Don’t paste raw JSON directly into design layers — JSON code outside of an |
Stay under 5,000 characters per block — Framer imposes a character limit on embeds. Exceeding this can truncate your schema and render it invalid. | Don’t exceed Framer’s embed limits — Broken or incomplete schema will be ignored and may trigger indexing issues. |
Use one schema type per page or a bundled structure — Keep the schema organized and page-specific. For example, use | Don’t duplicate or misuse schema types — Redundant or conflicting schema signals confuse search engines and reduce trust. |
Match your schema with visible content on the page — Google uses the visible user-facing content to verify structured data. | Don’t use misleading or hidden markup — Misrepresentation can lead to penalties or exclusion from rich results. |
Expert Insight: “The most important thing is that your structured data accurately reflects what's on the page. If it doesn't, we may ignore it entirely.” — Google Search Central Blog
Instructions to Improve Efficiency:
Minify your JSON-LD before pasting it to conserve character space.
Regularly validate your markup using Google's Rich Results Test.
Use tools like Schema Markup Generator to speed up creation.
Document and track schema types used per page to avoid duplication.
