Frequently asked questions.

Yes. The free checker at /check inspects one public page without an account or card. The report is bound to your browser session and expires after 24 hours; successful results may be reused for up to 15 minutes. It is a single snapshot with no historical comparison and is not a full Google validation. Free checks never send marketing email.

SchemaSignal checks the JSON-LD structured data in a web page’s HTML and keeps a history of its findings. It helps you notice missing or broken markup after a template, plugin or content change, even when the page still looks normal. You can also check candidate pages during CI/CD, separately from live monitoring.

SchemaSignal can support GEO (generative engine optimization) maintenance by helping you keep public-page JSON-LD accurate and catch markup changes during monitoring or pre-release checks. Structured data provides machine-readable context that search systems may use, but schema checks alone do not improve authority or guarantee discovery, AI citations, rankings or rich results. SchemaSignal does not measure AI mentions, citations or visibility.

No. Create an account and add the page by URL. There is no tracking snippet or plugin to install on the website you want to monitor. The page needs to be publicly accessible so SchemaSignal can fetch it.

You can choose an hourly, daily or weekly schedule. Scheduled checks run when they become due, rather than continuously in real time. You can also run a manual check and review the findings in your dashboard.

Yes. Use the GitHub Action or CI API to check selected URLs after a preview is deployed. You can compare against an accepted production baseline or require specific schema types. A failed check only blocks a merge or deployment if you make its status required in your repository or gate the deployment on it.

A check fetches public HTTPS pages and reads the JSON-LD in their server-delivered HTML; it does not render JavaScript or read private preview environments or source files. Approve the exact preview hostname in your monitor policy. CI reports are separate from scheduled monitoring, page status and alerts.

CI/CD is intended for Studio and Partner; Solo does not include it. The plan prices shown today are previews, not active subscriptions, and checkout is not yet available. The current pre-billing preview grants eligible accounts explicit preview access. Studio’s approximately 500 monthly on-demand checks include both manual dashboard and CI checks; this is a soft allowance, not a cutoff or automatic overage charge.

Once email delivery is enabled, SchemaSignal can send an alert when a check detects a new break, plus a weekly snapshot on Monday at 09:00 London time. Unchanged issues are not emailed on every check. You can switch alerts and weekly summaries off independently in your profile. The snapshot describes check results and fetch timings, not uptime or traffic.

SchemaSignal reads JSON-LD blocks in the HTML returned by the page. It does not currently inspect Microdata or RDFa, and its checks are not a complete validator for every Google rich result type.

Not if that schema only appears after JavaScript runs in the browser. SchemaSignal fetches the page’s HTML without rendering JavaScript. Google may render a page differently, so a missing JSON-LD finding here does not by itself prove that Google cannot see the markup.

No. The live JSON-LD checks work independently. If you connect Google in your profile and link a monitored page to a Search Console property, you can request an inspection of Google’s indexed version of that URL. This uses read-only access and is separate from the live page check.

A live check reads the page as it is now. Search Console URL Inspection reports Google’s indexed version, which may be from an earlier crawl or a different canonical URL. Missing rich result data is unknown, not automatic proof of lost eligibility, and it does not change the live monitor status.

No. Structured data can support eligibility, but Google decides whether to show a rich result. SchemaSignal does not guarantee rich results, rankings or traffic, and markup findings alone cannot prove a loss of visits or revenue.

Yes. Your dashboard groups watched pages by site, and you can organise them into client groups. Each watched page has its own findings and check history, so you can review the evidence for that page over time.
