Key takeaways

  • Use @graph to connect Organization, Person, WebSite and pages.
  • Implement FAQPage and Article markup with evidence-based claims.
  • Maintain consistency: sameAs, URLs and canonical structure.
  • Treat schema as an information contract for both search and AI.

What “complete” means

Complete schema is consistent schema. Entities must be linked with stable @id and canonical URLs.

Recommended @graph

  • Organization
  • Person
  • WebSite
  • WebPage
  • Article/BlogPosting
  • FAQPage (when applicable)

Common mistakes

  • Changing URLs / trailing slashes
  • Inconsistent sameAs links
  • Missing canonical references

Procurement note

If you want this to survive audits, insist on artifacts: requirements, evaluation gates, logs, incident procedures and reversibility clauses.
