STRUCTURED DATA
Rich Result Readiness Checker
Valid Schema.org markup and a rich result are not the same thing: each Google feature needs particular properties, and some features are now limited or retired. This checker maps every entity in your markup to the feature it is for and lists exactly what is missing.

HOW IT WORKS
How to use the Rich Result Readiness Checker
JSON-LD, or page HTML with JSON-LD script blocks.
Paste the page’s JSON-LD or its HTML source.
Fix missing required properties first; they block the rich result.
Add recommended properties where you have the data.
WHAT IT CHECKS
What it looks at, and how to read it.
Each entity with the rich result it maps to, missing required and recommended properties, and notes on features Google limits.
What it checks
- Required properties per rich result
- Recommended properties
- Nested and @id-referenced values (offers.price)
- FAQ and how-to limits
How to read the results
- Missing required means the rich result cannot appear.
- Missing recommended means a plainer result, or a lower chance of one.
- FAQ rich results now show only for well-known government and health sites.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common mistakes, an example and the limits.
Common mistakes
- Adding FAQ markup to win extra space in results.
- Product markup without an offer, review or rating.
- Marking up content that is not visible on the page.
A worked example
A product page has name, image and price but no availability or shipping details: eligible, with three recommended properties to add.
Limitations
- Covers the rich results Google documents for JSON-LD, such as Product, Article, Event, Recipe, LocalBusiness, Video and Job posting.
- Eligibility is necessary, not sufficient: Google decides whether to show a rich result.
FAQ
Questions about the Rich Result Readiness Checker
Straight answers about what it does and where its limits are.
How is this different from the JSON-LD Validator?
The validator checks that the markup is correct Schema.org. This checker asks which Google features it can unlock and what each still needs.
Why is my FAQ markup not shown?
Since August 2023 Google shows FAQ rich results only for well-known, authoritative government and health websites.
