Schema plugins

[Jo Shaer]

Is it worth investing in a Schema plugin for a Wordpress site? Does it make life a lot easier?

Hey @Jo Shaer In our experience they aren't worthwhile for SMB websites. Where I can see them becoming useful is on larger sites (ecommerce..etc). They can become very clunky on a smaller site.

One less thing to spend my money on then! Thanks @Colan Nielsen

I agree - the plugins don't work real well for us.

I have been pretty happy using free online schema generators. Here's one of my favorites:

Schema Markup Generator (JSON-LD) | TechnicalSEO.com

Does that help?

Is there a schema creator that can keep aggregate ratings up to date?
