Add `@type` to Your Schema.org Data to Define Its Meaning

Metadata Analyzer

What is this warning?

Your structured data is missing the `@type` property. This is the most important part of Schema.org data, as it tells search engines what kind of 'thing' you are describing (e.g., an 'Article', a 'Product', a 'Recipe'). Without it, the rest of the data is meaningless to them.

The Problem

The Solution

Add the `@type` property with the appropriate value from the Schema.org vocabulary.

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "My Awesome Product"
}

Why This Works

The `@type` property is the foundation of your structured data. It provides the context that allows search engines to understand your data and use it to create rich, informative search results.
