Schema Validator
Paste your JSON-LD structured data to check it parses correctly, has the fields Google looks for, and see a rough preview of the resulting rich result.
Structured data is what enables rich results — the byline, star rating, or FAQ dropdown sometimes shown directly in Google's search results — but the two failure modes are easy to miss without a check like this.
Common questions
What's the difference between the two failure modes?
JSON that's syntactically invalid gets ignored entirely — Google treats the block as if it doesn't exist. JSON that's valid but missing a field Google specifically looks for (like an author name on an Article type) is silently accepted but the rich result still never renders, which is the harder failure to notice.
Does having valid schema guarantee the rich result shows up?
No — valid, complete schema is a requirement, not a guarantee. Google still decides case by case whether to actually render the rich result in search, based on factors well outside what this validator checks.
