HOW IT WORKS

How to use the BreadcrumbList Schema Generator

Each breadcrumb level’s name and URL, from the home page to the current page.

01

Add one level for each step in the visible breadcrumb.

02

Use full URLs; the current page may leave its URL empty.

03

Copy the script tag into the page, or use the JSON in your CMS.

WHAT IT CHECKS

What it looks at, and how to read it.

BreadcrumbList JSON-LD with positions, as JSON or a ready-to-paste script tag.

Checks

What it checks

  • At least two levels
  • A name on every level
  • Absolute http or https URLs
  • Only the last level without a URL
  • Positions numbered in order

Results

How to read the results

  • Errors block a valid result.
  • The green notice means the JSON-LD is valid BreadcrumbList markup.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common mistakes, an example and the limits.

Mistakes

Common mistakes

  • Marking up a trail that does not appear on the page.
  • Using relative URLs such as /phones/.

Example

A worked example

Home › Phones › Samsung › Galaxy A16 becomes four ListItem entries, the last without a URL because it is the current page.

Limits

Limitations

  • The markup should match the breadcrumb visible on the page; the generator cannot see your page.
