How to create BreadcrumbList structured data

Three steps from a filled-in form to code you can paste into your page.

  1. Fill in the form

    Fill in the fields for your page. Fields marked Required are needed for Google's rich results; Recommended ones make the result richer. Click Fill in an example to see a complete BreadcrumbList.

Frequently asked questions

What should the breadcrumb trail contain?

The path a visitor would follow to reach the page, starting at the home page, such as Home › Books › Science fiction. It should match the breadcrumb links shown on the page.

Does the last item need a URL?

Google allows the current page to be listed without a URL, but adding it does no harm, and the generator asks for one on every level to keep things simple.

Can a page have more than one breadcrumb trail?

Yes, if the page really can be reached in several ways. Generate each trail separately and add both codes to the page.

Where do I put the code?

Paste the whole <script type="application/ld+json"> block into the HTML of the page it describes, ideally in the <head>; the <body> works too. In WordPress, use your SEO plugin's custom schema box or a plugin that adds code to the head of one page. Then check the page with Google's Rich Results Test.

Does structured data guarantee rich results?

No. Correct structured data makes a page eligible, but Google decides whether to show a rich result. The information in the code must also be visible on the page itself: don't mark up questions, prices or reviews that visitors can't see.

Is what I type uploaded or stored?

No. The code is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. When you copy or download the code, our server only records that one use happened, so the daily limit can be applied. Copying the same code again is free.
