Schema Validator
Paste your JSON-LD and check it against LocalBusiness and FAQPage requirements — see what's missing before Google or an AI system has to guess. No signup, nothing saved, all in your browser.
Paste your schema on the left to see the validation results.
Schema that looks right and schema that parses right aren't the same.
A missing comma or the wrong nesting can make otherwise-reasonable-looking markup invalid without any visible sign on the page itself. If you built your own LocalBusiness or FAQPage schema — or inherited it from a previous developer — this checks it against the same fields the LocalBusiness generator and the FAQ generator produce by default.
What types of schema does this check?
Deep validation covers LocalBusiness and FAQPage — the two most important types for a local service business, and the two this site's own free generators produce. Schema.org has hundreds of other types; anything else gets a basic parse check, not a full rule set.
What's the difference between an error and a warning?
An error means a field is missing where schema.org or Google's own documentation requires it. A warning is strongly recommended but not strictly required — the difference between broken and merely incomplete.
Does passing this validation guarantee a rich result or AI citation?
No. Valid schema removes a technical barrier to being understood correctly — it doesn't buy a ranking, a rich result, or an AI citation outright. Google's own Rich Results Test is the authoritative check for actual eligibility; this tool is a faster first pass.
