Generation Modes

The plugin offers two ways to create schema markup:

ModeHow It WorksBest For
AI Auto-GenerateAI reads your content and selects the most appropriate schema type, then populates all properties automatically.Most users — hands-off approach
ManualYou choose the schema type and fill in properties yourself via the post editor.Advanced users who want full control
💡
Tip: Use AI mode as a starting point, then manually lock specific posts where you need exact control. Manual-locked posts are never overwritten by AI generation.

Schema Types

SEO Rank Genius supports 20+ schema types organized by category. Enable the types relevant to your site:

CategorySchema Types
ContentArticle, NewsArticle, BlogPosting, HowTo, FAQ
BusinessOrganization, LocalBusiness, Product, Service, Event
PeoplePerson, ProfilePage
MediaVideoObject, ImageObject, Recipe
NavigationWebSite, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, SiteNavigationElement
💡
Rich results: Certain schema types trigger rich snippets in Google — FAQ shows expandable Q&A, HowTo shows step-by-step cards, Product shows pricing and ratings. Enable these for maximum SERP visibility.

Per-Post Schema Table

Below the settings, a filterable table lists every post with its schema status:

  • Generated — AI successfully created schema for this post
  • Manual Locked — Schema was manually set and won’t be auto-updated
  • Missing — No schema exists yet
  • Error — AI generation failed (check credits or content quality)

Each row shows the post title, detected schema type, key properties (like headline, author, datePublished), and action buttons to regenerate, edit, or delete the schema.

Bulk Generation

To generate schema for all posts at once:

  1. Switch to AI Auto-Generate mode.
  2. Select which schema types to enable.
  3. Click Generate All Missing.
  4. A progress bar shows real-time status. The process runs via AJAX and can be paused/resumed.
⚠️
Credit usage: Each AI schema generation consumes 1–2 credits depending on content length. A site with 200 posts could use 200–400 credits for full bulk generation.

Troubleshooting

Schema Not Appearing in Source Code

  • Clear your page cache and check the source code (Ctrl+U).
  • Search for application/ld+json in the HTML source.
  • Ensure the post has a “Generated” or “Manual Locked” status in the table.

Google Shows “Missing Field” Errors

  • Some schema types require specific fields (e.g., Product needs price). Edit the post’s schema in the SEO metabox to fill missing properties.
  • Use Google’s Rich Results Test to validate your markup.
