Structured Data Rules for Labor Help Pages

How we use schema carefully without implying government affiliation, fake reviews or hidden content.

Why We Use Structured Data

Structured data can help search engines understand page purpose, but it does not replace accurate content, official sources or human review.

Schema Types We May Use

SchemaAppropriate use
FAQPageVisible FAQs about labor-resource navigation, corrections, privacy or official links.
HowToVisible step-by-step guides such as reporting a correction or finding a state unemployment portal.
ItemListVisible official-resource lists.
VideoObjectOnly for visible, relevant, verified embedded videos.

Schema Accuracy Rules

  • Schema must match visible content.
  • No fake ratings, reviews, author credentials or agency affiliation.
  • No hidden FAQ markup.
  • No GovernmentService schema implying we are a government provider.
  • Official links and commercial links must stay clearly separate.

Yoast Compatibility

If WordPress/Yoast outputs core WebPage, Organization, Article or Breadcrumb schema, we avoid duplicates. Page-specific schema should be non-conflicting and useful.

What We Avoid

We avoid schema that suggests department-of-labor.org/ is DOL.gov, OSHA, a state unemployment office, a workers compensation board or a legal-service provider.

Schema Supports Clarity, Not False Authority

Structured data should help readers and search engines understand real content.
