If you have a WordPress website, take it to the next level with structured data.
Structured data (aka schema markup) is an advanced SEO strategy. When you optimize your website with structured data, you are translating your website into the language of search engines called schema.org, so that it can be better understood. Proper schema markup can make your brand and content eligible for rich results. Google offers more than 32 different rich results you can achieve, and Schema App enables them all.
Schema App offers structured data solutions to help brands drive quality search traffic to your WordPress sites. Our solutions scale to serve any size business and our customer success team helps you measure the ROI. Schema markup is complicated, but with Schema App we make it fun.

Yes, open the page in WP and scroll to the bottom looking for the Schema App Structured Data section. You’ll be presented with options for editing the page.
Once you’ve brought the page into the Editor, the properties no longer update dynamically for that single page.
This is primarily a technical limitation of WordPress. It uses a database called MySQL, a relational data model invented over 20 years ago and schema.org, invented 5 years ago, is based on a graph data model. To create robust tools for schema.org, we use a graph database and implement it off your server because WordPress’ database isn’t designed to handle it. It is possible to more tightly integrate with the WordPress REST API, and in the future we’d like to do that. In the meantime, in the page and post editors you will see the “Schema.org Structured Data” form below the editor that helps you interact with the Editor.
To extend the default markup, yes, you need to edit in the Schema App Editor.
It depends on what you’ve supplied Google Data Highlighter. The Schema App Plugin supplies markup for several types of pages by default, and so if you’ve also used the highlighter for Pages and Posts, you’ll have duplicate data. You may want to segment your content (e.g. Products in highlighter, Posts in Schema App), and there is no one way to do this. Reach out to us for a structured data strategy and we can map it out for you. Do note that the Google Data Highlighter is great, but only for supplying Google with schema.org data. It does not publish the data on the web for any other search provider (Yahoo, Bing, Yandex).
We implement the data using JSON-LD syntax, and at time of writing, Google added JSON-LD support for many search features. JSON-LD is the newest format, and all features released since 2015 were supported first and foremost in JSON-LD. As of February 26, 2016, you can now get rich snippets for Products and Reviews using JSON-LD. That means only Software Apps aren’t supported by JSON-LD, which are only available to test groups anyway.
For all other search features, e.g. Knowledge Graph, Content Carousels, Actions, Local Business JSON-LD is not only compatible but often the only way to enable the feature. See https://developers.google.com/structured-data/ for more information.
There is no specification requiring videos to be self-hosted as long as the markup follows the required properties. Additionally, there is no reason it wouldn’t be eligible for rich results.
Embedded YouTube videos will receive automatic markup.
Yes, we can mark up any type of templated page using the Schema App Highlighter. With the Highlighter, there are several ways we can implement the markup, with the most common method being, via a tag manager.
