FAQ

What is HowTo schema and why does it matter?

HowTo schema is a JSON-LD format that describes a task and its ordered steps in a way search engines understand. It can help your guide appear with step previews in search results and makes your instructions easier for AI assistants to cite accurately.

How do I add the generated JSON-LD to my site?

Copy the output and paste it inside a script tag with the type set to application/ld+json, placed in the head or body of the relevant page. Then validate it with Google's Rich Results Test to confirm there are no errors before publishing.

Do I need an image for every step?

No, step images are optional. Adding a clear image URL for each step can improve eligibility for richer displays, but a HowTo block is still valid with text-only steps as long as each step has descriptive instructions.
