Breadcrumb Schema

Breadcrumb Schema guide

Use BreadcrumbList markup to clarify page hierarchy and help search engines understand site structure.

Mirror the real navigation path

Breadcrumb Schema should match the visible breadcrumb or logical path users follow from home to the current page.

Use stable names and URLs

Each breadcrumb item needs a position, name, and URL. Use canonical URLs and avoid mixing localized or redirected addresses unexpectedly.

Pair breadcrumbs with internal links

Breadcrumb markup is strongest when the site also has clear internal links, canonical tags, and sitemap entries that agree with the same structure.
