Configure structured data markup
In the SEO settings, scroll to the Structured Data section. Select appropriate schema types from the dropdown (e.g., Product, Article, Organization). Fill in the required fields for your chosen schema type and enable Auto-generate JSON-LD.
Tip
Use Google's Rich Results Test tool to validate your structured data after implementation

Use the SEO Preview feature to see how your pages will appear in search results and social media shares. Once satisfied, click Save Changes and then Deploy to make your SEO meta tags live on your website.
Tip
Changes may take 24-48 hours to fully propagate across search engines
Troubleshooting
Meta tags not appearing in page source
Check that you've clicked Save Changes and Deploy after configuration. Clear your browser cache and wait up to 10 minutes for changes to propagate.
Duplicate meta descriptions across pages
Ensure each page has unique meta descriptions set in the Pages > SEO Tab section rather than relying solely on global settings.
Open Graph images not displaying correctly
Verify your images are exactly 1200x630 pixels and under 1MB in size. Use Facebook's Sharing Debugger to refresh the cache for your URLs.
Structured data validation errors
Use Google's Rich Results Test tool to identify missing required fields. Return to Structured Data settings in Shipixen and fill in all mandatory schema properties.
