Implementation Notes
- Place in
<head>: Add JSON-LD in a<script type="application/ld+json">tag - One script per type: Use separate script tags for each schema type
- Validate: Test with Google Rich Results Test
- Keep updated: Ensure data matches visible page content
- No hidden content: Schema must reflect what users see
