WooCommerce product SEO box: easy field-by-field guide
When you edit a product, the SEO panel helps you add merchant identifiers, improve structured data, and track your schema score in one place.
Open a product and find the SEO box
Go to your product editor in WordPress. Scroll down until you see the SEO Rank Genius product SEO box.
You can use this box for every product, even if your store has hundreds of items.
Typical menu path: Products â All Products â Edit Product â SEO Rank Genius SEO Box
Mockup 1: product identifier fields and schema score.
Main identifier fields
The product SEO panel focuses on structured data identifiers that help Google and shopping surfaces understand your product:
- GTIN13 / EAN: the barcode-style product ID used in merchant listings.
- MPN: the manufacturer part number when no GTIN is available.
- Brand override: use when the product brand differs from your store default.
- Schema score: a quick signal for how complete your product structured data is.
Mockup 2: the three identifier fields and save button.
Plain writing checklist
- Add GTIN or MPN when you have them â do not guess.
- Use brand override only when the product brand differs from store defaults.
- For variable products, set identifiers per variation when SKUs differ.
- Click Save identifiers after editing so structured data stays current.
Schema score: what it tells you
The schema score reflects how complete your product structured data is for merchant and rich-result eligibility.
A higher score usually means more required identifiers and product details are in place.
