Summary

Add HowTo JSON-LD structured data support for step-by-step instructional content.

Why

  • Google renders HowTo as rich snippets with numbered steps and images
  • Rank Math (free), Yoast, SEOPress, and AIOSEO all support this
  • Second most impactful schema type after FAQ for content sites

Implementation

  • Add a repeatable steps fieldset (step name, text, optional image)
  • Optional: total time, estimated cost, supply/tool lists
  • Build HowTo schema in JsonLdBuilder:
{
  "@type": "HowTo",
  "name": "How to...",
  "step": [
    {
      "@type": "HowToStep",
      "name": "Step 1",
      "text": "Do this...",
      "image": "https://..."
    }
  ]
}
