How to Add Breadcrumb Schema to Your Website

  1. Add the first breadcrumb item (usually your homepage)

  2. Add subsequent items following your site's hierarchy

  3. Each item needs a name and URL

  4. The last item is typically the current page

  5. Copy the JSON-LD and add it to every page

Breadcrumb JSON-LD Example

Here's an example of valid Breadcrumb structured data that you can use as a reference: 

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
  "itemListElement": [
    {
      "@type": "ListItem",
      "position": 1,
      "name": "Home",
      "item": "https://example.com"
    },
    {
      "@type": "ListItem",
      "position": 2,
      "name": "Products",
      "item": "https://example.com/products"
    },
    {
      "@type": "ListItem",
      "position": 3,
      "name": "Headphones",
      "item": "https://example.com/products/headphones"
    }
  ]
}

Tip: Always validate your schema markup using Google's Rich Results Test before deploying to production.
