Schema types supported by DropInBlog
DropInBlog automatically adds schema markup to your blog posts, making it easier for search engines to understand and classify your content.
Currently, DropInBlog supports the following schema types:
- BlogPosting (includes audio)
- VideoObject
- FAQPage
- Recipe (Shopify-only via Recipe Kit integration)
BlogPosting schema
Used for: Helping Google and other search engines accurately interpret content, structure, and metadata.
Elements included: Post title, author, published date, modified date, URL, featured image, and article body.
Why it matters: The BlogPosting schema is one of the most commonly used types of structured data. It signals to search engines that your content is a blog article, helping it appear in relevant content carousels, discovery feeds, and featured search results.
How to add BlogPosting schema to your blog posts: To add the BlogPosting schema to your post, just create a new post using the DropInBlog editor. After you publish your blog post, DropInBlog will apply the corresponding schema type to that post.
VideoObject schema
Used for: Describing embedded video content, which allows search engines to index and preview it correctly.
Elements included: Video title, duration, embed URL, and description.
How to add VideoObject schema to your blog posts: From within the DropInBlog editor, click on the video icon in the top toolbar, and select how you’d like to add a video to your blog post – by URL or Embedded Code.
Saving the changes will prompt DropInBlog to apply the VideoObject schema to your post and add the elements that describe your content.
FAQPage schema
Used for: Marking up question-and-answer content, like FAQ sections, to show up in Google’s expandable FAQ rich results.
Elements included: Questions and answers.
How to add FAQPage schema to your blog posts: Add an FAQ section to your blog post by toggling the switch next to Show FAQs on the right side of the post editor. Then, select Manage to open the FAQ builder, where you can add your blog post FAQs.
After you save the changes, DropInBlog will automatically wrap that content with schema markup.
Recipe schema
Used for: Helping search engines detect recipe content with star ratings.
Elements included: Recipe title, images, ingredients, cook time, preparation time, serving size, and rating.
How to add recipe and review schema to your blog posts: Open the DropInBlog app from your Shopify account, then on the **Posts page, click on Add New to create a new blog post or edit an existing one.
Once in the editor, click on the Chef’s hat icon in the top bar and select the recipe you’d like to insert into your post.
Publish your post, and the recipe schema will be automatically added to your content.
How to see which types of schema markup are present in your DropInBlog blog posts
To check the types of structured data available for your DropInBlog blog posts, use Google’s Rich Results Test or Schema Markup Validator.
Here’s how:
- Copy the URL of your published blog post.
- Go to either tool linked above.
- Paste the URL and run the test.
- Review the list of detected schema types and their details.
That’s it!
Your blog will now speak in the same language search engines do – you don’t have to do anything to implement schema markup on your blog pages.
That’s only one aspect of DropInBlog’s robust feature set. Explore everything else that’s possible with DropInBlog.
