Assistance Needed: Integrating Fact-Check Schema for Enhanced SEO

[ad_1]

Hello Rank Math Team,

I am seeking your expert advice to ensure my fact-checking posts are correctly optimized for search engines.

I run a debunking website. I use the TagDiv Newspaper theme and the ACF plugin to create custom fields.

Current Project:
I have integrated a custom fact-checking section within my posts using a shortcode. This section includes:

  1. Claim: The main statement being fact-checked.
  2. Rating: The truthfulness of the claim (True, False, Undecided) displayed with an icon.
  3. Context: Additional context or explanation regarding the claim.

Shortcode Function:
I have implemented the following function in my functions.php to render this section. Below is a section of this code:

...

// If all fields are empty, do not add ClaimReview schema
        if (empty($claim) && empty($rating) && empty($context)) {
            return $schemas;
        }

        // Create ClaimReview schema
        $claim_review_schema = [
            '@context' => 'https://schema.org',
            '@type' => 'ClaimReview',
            'author' => [
                '@type' => 'Organization',
                'name' => 'LG'
            ],
            'claimReviewed' => $claim,
            'reviewRating' => [
                '@type' => 'Rating',
                'ratingValue' => $rating,
                'bestRating' => 'true',
                'worstRating' => 'false',
                'alternateName' => ucfirst($rating)
            ],
            'url' => get_permalink(),
            'reviewBody' => $context
        ];

...

Current SEO Settings:
I have Rank Math SEO plugin installed and configured for my website. I understand that adding the appropriate schema markup is crucial for search engines to recognize the fact-checking structure.

Objective:

  1. Schema Integration: I want to ensure that the fact-checking structure is properly marked up with schema so that search engines can easily identify and interpret the fact-check information.
  2. SEO Optimization: I want to make sure that the integration of this fact-checking section enhances my overall SEO performance without conflicting with the existing Rank Math settings.

Request for Assistance:

  1. Could you guide me on how to integrate the Fact-Check schema within the existing Rank Math settings?
  2. Are there specific schema properties or settings in Rank Math that I need to adjust to optimize this structure?
  3. Should I create a custom schema type within Rank Math, and if so, how do I go about this?

Any detailed guidance or resources you can provide would be immensely helpful.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards.
