Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Schema Pro?

Schema Pro is a premium WordPress plugin that adds schema.org structured data to your site without writing code, so search engines can better understand pages and may show rich results. It supports more than 20 schema types, including Article, Product, Review, Local Business, Recipe, Event, FAQ, Job Posting and Course. It is made by Brainstorm Force, the team behind the Astra theme.

Instead of filling in markup on every page, you set up a schema once and choose where it applies, such as all posts in a category or a specific page type. Schema Pro maps existing fields like title, featured image, author and date automatically, and you can map custom fields when needed. Every license covers unlimited websites, which makes it practical for agencies and freelancers working on many client sites.

Schema Pro FAQ

Is Schema Pro free?

No. Schema Pro is a paid WordPress plugin. The annual plan costs $69 on sale and normally $79, and the lifetime plan costs $229 on sale and normally $249. Both allow unlimited websites, and there is a 14-day money-back guarantee if it does not suit your needs.

What is Schema Pro used for?

Schema Pro is used to add structured data to WordPress sites so search engines understand content and may display rich results like star ratings, recipe details or event dates. It applies schema automatically to selected pages, which saves time compared with adding markup by hand.

Schema Pro vs Rank Math: what's the difference?

Rank Math is a full SEO plugin with built-in schema, sitemaps, redirects and rank tracking. Schema Pro focuses only on structured data, with rule-based targeting and field mapping across many pages. Site owners who use another SEO plugin or need flexible schema rules often add Schema Pro.

Does Schema Pro guarantee rich results?

No. Schema Pro adds valid structured data, but Google decides whether to show rich results for any page. Correct markup makes a page eligible, yet display depends on content quality, search type and Google's own policies. The plugin includes checks to help keep markup valid.

Can I use Schema Pro on client sites?

Yes. Every Schema Pro license allows unlimited website usage, including client sites. If a license expires, the plugin keeps working on existing sites, but you stop receiving updates and support until you renew.
