  "what": "The Schema Markup Validator checks JSON-LD, Microdata or RDFa against schema.org vocabulary, while Google's Rich Results Test checks whether that markup qualifies for a specific rich result. Search Console then reports structured data errors across every indexed page.",
  "why": "For a content site, NewsArticle, Person and FAQPage markup drives rich results and hands AI crawlers clean facts to lift. Validating before publish stops a broken template shipping across the whole archive.",
  "warn": "Valid markup does not guarantee rich results — Google decides. The generic validator happily accepts schema Google ignores, so run both tools.",
  "install": "Paste your rendered JSON-LD into validator.schema.org.",
