# Structured Data - JSON-LD
[](https://gitter.im/Jays-Structured-Data/Lobby?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)  [](http://www.twitter.com/share?text=Great+collection+of+structured+data+snippets+in+JSON-LD+format+by+@j_holtslander&url=https://github.com/JayHoltslander/Structured-Data-JSON-LD)
Structured Data is hard when you're starting out. Conflicting info. Old outdated information. Poor documentation. I've spent a significant amout of time trying to master it. Now you can benefit from all my hard work and testing. Everything here works properly or it wouldn't be here. Many of these will provide the [fancy Google Search Enhancements](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery) you desire and ensure your content types are marked up properly.

Another uproar hits the web after SEJ posts that Google has declared Structured Data shouldn't be inserted via Google Tag Manager. While it's tough to argue against such a reputable source, I'd like to point out that one important quote was omitted in the article from the discussion. "While you can use GTM to add SD to pages, and some people do, it's more complex and brittle." The article also pointed to the fact that the Structured Data testing tool can't see SD that's been inserted onto a page by GTM as proof that it's not meant to be done. But this is a fairly well known issue that is worked around by inserting it via Javascript (See below). I've asked @JohnMu to elaborate or affirm but he never seems to address these challenging questions directly. Or he's cryptic about it. John is always cited as the guy who is saying GTM insertion shouldn't be done, but he's also a guy who knows that it can be done successfully.

Google's Structured Data Testing Tool has stopped seeing Structured Data thats been inserted via Google Tag Manager. This caused a minor little uproar on Twitter when Google's John Mueller tweeted a response of "I wouldn't rely on a tool like GTM to add Structured Data". One blog immediately twisted this into wrote that Google itself has now declared that GTM should not be used for inserting Structured Data. Which is ridiculous. A new way to insert Structured Data via Google Tag Manager has been found by Simo Ahava and this method allows for the testing tool to detect the Structured Data 100% fine. This tool by Saijo George can help you generate the Google Tag Manager friendly version of your JSON-LD code.
## Primer
Total newb to all this? See [this great beginner's guide](https://moz.com/blog/writing-structured-data-guide) on Moz
## Installation
A.) Hand code it in (Learn more)
Ugh! This is not easily maintainable at scale.
Although the Structured Data CAN be placed in the head and work properly, Google's examples show it being placed in the body immediately after the opening body tag. Their CodeLab shows it in the head though.
Google's John Mueller clarified on the September 11 edition of #AskGoogleWebmasters that JSON structured data can be inserted in the head as well as the body of your pages. Read more
B.) Use Google Tag Manager (Learn more)
Use Google Tag Manager to insert the code with the "Custom HTML" tag. (See screenshot below.) Why Tag Manager? Because Tag Manager can dynamically change the Structured Data based on the content of the page! (eg: Blog posts) See this article and this older Moz article for more information on how to do that.
UPDATE: Google changed something. Now, in order to have the Structured Data Testing tool detect inserted Structured Data properly, it must be inserted programatically. Pasting your desired Structured Data within this snippet below will allow it to be detected properly by the testing tool.
````html
(function() {
var jsonData =
// PASTE THE JSON THAT YOU WANT TO USE, HERE.
// Only paste what's within the <script> block.
// Your pasted content should start with a { and end with a }
; var el = document.createElement('script');
el.type = 'application/ld+json';
el.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(jsonData);
document.head.appendChild(el);
})();
````

### [AggregateRating.json](https://github.com/JayHoltslander/Structured-Data-JSON-LD/blob/master/AggregateRating.json)
An average rating based on multiple ratings or reviews utilizing the [AggregateRating schema](http://schema.org/AggregateRating). Be sure to read [this article](https://whitespark.ca/blog/how-to-use-aggregate-review-schema-to-get-stars-in-the-serps/) to see why using this example as written might not be the best idea. Hmm. 🤔 Also note that using a 3rd party's ratings (like say Google or Yelp) for a [localBusiness](https://github.com/JayHoltslander/Structured-Data-JSON-LD/blob/master/LocalBusiness.json) [seems to](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/review#review-snippet-guidelines) go [against Google's guidelines](https://searchengineland.com/google-gives-thumbs-up-on-placing-your-local-reviews-from-yelp-google-maps-others-on-your-own-web-site-305009). BUT, also see [this note](https://www.schemaapp.com/how-to/get-rating-rich-results-for-local-business-with-third-party-reviews/) on using 3rd party reviews.

### [Article.json](https://github.com/JayHoltslander/Structured-Data-JSON-LD/blob/master/Article.json)
If you’re a publisher website, the more specific schema types like [NewsArticle](https://schema.org/NewsArticle) or [BlogPosting](https://schema.org/BlogPosting) are recommended (choose one or the other, depending on your site/content). Leveraging these markups accordingly can help your content to appear in Google News and in-depth articles search suggestions. See: [Enabling Rich Snippets for Articles](https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/articles). **Note:** To show up in Google's News Carousel not only will the page require Structured Data but it's also [required to be a valid AMP page](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/article). If you are using the [official AMP Plugin for Wordpress](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/amp/) you will definitely want to use Tag Manager to insert your Structured Data as opposed to other methods since you will be able to [dynamically generate Schema.org JSON-LD Tags](https://moz.com/blog/using-google-tag-manager-to-dynamically-generate-schema-org-json-ld-tags) from pages that contain the correct pattern for your posts. **eg:** ``?amp=1`` or ``/amp``

The [FAQPage schema](https://schema.org/HowTo) is used to explicitly tell Google that your content is a how-to. A how-to walks users through a set of steps to successfully complete a task, and can feature video, images, and text. For example, “How to tie a tie” or “How to tile a kitchen backsplash”. If each step in your how-to must be read in sequence, it's a good sign that HowTo structured data could benefit your content.

### [ItemList-1.json](https://github.com/JayHoltslander/Structured-Data-JSON-LD/blob/master/ItemList-1.json)
The [ItemList](http://schema.org/ItemList) schema makes a page's items eligible for the [Carousel Feature](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/mark-up-listings) on mobile devices ([Screenshot](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/images/search-features03-HostCarousel.png)). This example is for a summary page which has a short description of each item in the list, and each item points to a separate details page that is focused entirely on one item. The details page is where the more detailed Structured Data on the item would be located. See: Docs https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/mark-up-listings#summary-page--multiple-full-details-pages

## Tips & Tricks
You can link snippets together and reuse them ([DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself)) by defining and referencing their ``@id`` (These are called "Node identifiers") Learn more about them [here](https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/a/98578/77742).
