How to Add Structured Data to Webflow Pages

Step 1: Understand Structured Data
Structured data is a specific vocabulary used to mark up content, making it easier for search engines to understand the context of your page's information. It often uses Schema.org, which offers different types of markup for various content types like articles, products, and events.

Step 2: Choose the Right Markup Type
Determine the appropriate schema type based on your Webflow page's content. For example, use the Article schema for blog posts or the Product schema for showcasing products. Refer to Schema.org to explore various schema types.

Step 3: Create Your Structured Data Code
Create your structured data code using the JSON-LD format, which is recommended by search engines. Here's an example for a blog post:

```
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BlogPosting",
"headline": "Your Blog Title",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "Author Name"
},
"datePublished": "2023-04-01",
"image": "https://yourdomain.com/image.jpg",
"articleBody": "A brief summary of your blog post."
}
```

Step 4: Log Into Webflow
Visit the Webflow website and log into your account. Select the project where you want to add structured data.

Step 5: Access the Page Settings
In the left sidebar, navigate to the Pages section. Find the specific page where you want to add structured data and click the settings icon (cogwheel) to open the Page Settings.

Step 6: Add Custom Code
Scroll down to the Custom Code section. Here, you’ll see two boxes: Head Code and Before Body Tag. Add your JSON-LD structured data in the Head Code section by pasting your structured data code.

Step 7: Save Changes
After adding the structured data code, save your changes by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the Page Settings panel.

Step 8: Publish Your Site
Publish your site to ensure the changes take effect on the live website. Click the Publish button in the upper right corner of the Webflow interface.

Step 9: Test Your Structured Data
Use Google's Rich Results Test tool to check if your structured data is implemented correctly. Enter the URL of the page where you added structured data and click the Test URL button. This will show whether your structured data is recognized correctly or if there are any errors.

Step 10: Monitor Your Results
Monitor your page's performance through Google Search Console. Observe how your site’s visibility and click-through rates improve over time, as structured data enhances your site's performance in search results.
