  Hello All,

  I need help. I need to find a way to make schema markup easier within WP. I’ve search for and purchased a couple of plugins and they seem to make things worse.

  Problems I’m Seeing/Having
  It’s always a plugin, promising the world and delivering nothing. And if it’s in a plugin, then you have to always keep it activated. These plugins usually require a monthly fee.

  Or other SEO plugins give you some scheme data, but doesn’t allow any markup functionality.

  What I’m looking for
  Something that makes schema easier!
  If this exists, for the love of God please tell me.

  • Basically something just like Google’s Structured Data Helper that lets you mark up your page’s elements.
  • Perhaps provide some type of automation for various meta fields.
  • Let’s you know if you’ve forgotten a required field before you validate it

  Basically what I do now is I painstakingly mark it up with Google’s helper and add it manually to my post or page. This just feels tedious.

  Am I missing something? Is there anything that can make this whole process easier?

  I’ve tried Yoast, SeoPressor, All in One Seo, and a few others. I’m trying out Schema app but already I don’t like it because you’re locked into a monthly fee, so if you stop paying all of your work is gone.

  Also, while it proclaims to allow for easy markup, you have to go to their site and use their tools, stored on their database.

  SeoPressor gives me errors every time with OpenGraph, while All in One Seo seems to be honestly be the best. But even then it doesn’t seem to provide any markup functionality.

  Am I An Idiot?
  Am I just missing something here? Are there any themes that provide this type of functionality. I really hate the idea of doing schema with a plugin.

  Am I just stupid or is there an easier way?

  As an example, I have a page with multiple important sections. There’s usually a h1, h2, some text, and an image usually for that section.

  Then I have another h2, more text, and an image for that important section.

  I want to be able to easily mark all of this up like with Google, and maybe be alerted to missing fields

  I appreciate any support, guidance, direction, anything. I have no problem paying, just not a monthly fee so they can basically hold my data ransom.

  Thanks again
