Structured Data: Validation Warnings

URLs that contain structured data validation warnings, such as for using older data-vocabulary.org schema rather than the recommended Schema.org.

Data-vocabulary.org markup is no longer eligible for Google rich result features.

How to Analyse in the SEO Spider

View URLs with this issue in the ‘Structured Data’ tab and ‘Validation Warnings’ filter, and export all URLs using the ‘Export’ button.

Structured data validation warnings will only be discovered if JSON-LD, microdata and RDFa formats are selected for extraction and Schema.org validation and Google Rich Result Feature Validation are enabled via ‘Config > Spider > Extraction’.

View the number of validation warnings for each URL in the ‘Warnings’ column and details of the warning using the lower ‘Structured Data Details’ tab.

The left-hand side of the lower window pane shows property values and icons against them when there are errors or warnings, and the right-hand window provides detail on the specific validation issues.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when URLs contain older data-vocabulary.org schema rather than the recommended Schema.org.

How To Fix

Remove older data-vocabulary.org markup and replace with schema.org structured data to be eligible for special rich result search features in Google.

Refer to schema.org and Google rich result documentation where necessary.
