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:
- Claim: The main statement being fact-checked.
- Rating: The truthfulness of the claim (True, False, Undecided) displayed with an icon.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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:
- Could you guide me on how to integrate the Fact-Check schema within the existing Rank Math settings?
- Are there specific schema properties or settings in Rank Math that I need to adjust to optimize this structure?
- 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.
