Accessing the Schema Preview

  • Go to AEO God Mode > Schema in your WordPress admin sidebar
  • This opens the Schema page at admin.php?page=aeo-god-mode#/schema
  • Select a published post or page from the dropdown

What the Preview Shows

The schema preview calls the REST API endpoint /aeo-god-mode/v1/schema/{post_id} and displays:

Schema Types Generated

For a typical blog post, you’ll see multiple schema blocks:

  • Article with headline, datePublished, dateModified, author, publisher, wordCount, articleSection, image, description, and URL
  • BreadcrumbList with the navigation path from Home through category to the post
  • Person for the post author, including name, URL, and avatar

If the post content contains FAQ-style question/answer pairs, you’ll also see FAQPage schema. If it contains step-by-step instructions under an appropriate heading, HowTo schema appears.

Field-Level Detail

Each schema type shows all its properties. For Article schema, this includes:

  • @type: “Article”
  • headline: The post title
  • datePublished / dateModified: ISO 8601 format dates
  • author: Person object with name and URL
  • publisher: Organization object with name and logo
  • wordCount: Actual word count of the post content
  • articleSection: Primary category name
  • image: Featured image object (URL, width, height)
  • description: Post excerpt or auto-generated summary
  • inLanguage: Site language code
  • mainEntityOfPage / isPartOf: WebPage references
  • speakable: CSS selectors (only if speakable is enabled in Settings)

Schema Validation

AEO God Mode includes a validation endpoint at /aeo-god-mode/v1/validate/{post_id}. On the Schema page:

  • Select a post
  • Click the validation button
  • The tool checks for common issues like missing required fields, empty values, or duplicate schema types

There’s also a bulk validation option via /aeo-god-mode/v1/validate/bulk that lets you check multiple posts at once.

Manual Schema Overrides

If the auto-detected schema needs adjustment for a specific post:

  • Select the post on the Schema page
  • Edit the schema fields directly
  • Save your changes

Overrides are stored in post meta as asgm_schema_override and take priority over the auto-detection engine. The REST endpoint /aeo-god-mode/v1/schema/{post_id} accepts POST requests to save overrides.

To verify schema output on a published page:

  • Visit the page in your browser
  • Right-click and select “View Page Source”
