To set breadcrumbs for an article using schema.org, follow these steps:
- Include the necessary libraries: Add the schema.org markup language using the JSON-LD format in the head section of your HTML document. Ensure you have included the library by adding the following line of code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "WebSite",
...
}
</script>
|
- Define the breadcrumb list: Create a breadcrumb list using the BreadcrumbList type from schema.org. This list will contain each step of the breadcrumb.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"name": "Home",
"item": "https://example.com/"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"name": "Category",
"item": "https://example.com/category"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 3,
"name": "Article Name",
"item": "https://example.com/category/article"
}
]
}
</script>
|
- Set the breadcrumb on the article page: Locate the article page where you want to add the breadcrumbs and include the BreadcrumbList in the WebPage or Article markup.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "WebPage",
...
"breadcrumb": {
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"name": "Home",
"item": "https://example.com/"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"name": "Category",
"item": "https://example.com/category"
},
...
}
</script>

By following these steps, you can set up breadcrumbs for an article using schema.org. Make sure to replace the example URLs and names with the appropriate ones for your website.
