Structured data (JSON-LD)

In short

Structured data (JSON-LD) helps shopping surfaces build catalogues, although it did not change retrieval in Ora's test. In the network crawl of 4 Nov 2026, 54.0 percent of home pages that returned 200 carried any JSON-LD. Self-check question 7 is the next stop after Structured data (JSON-LD).
