Structured data

My structured data is missing required properties

Google validates required properties before granting a rich result. An incomplete node is rejected outright, which is why markup can pass a syntax check and still produce nothing in search.

What 13x checks

This is rule structured-data.required-fields in the public registry: Schema required properties are filled. It runs on every audit, against the pages we actually fetched, and its result is derived from the response rather than estimated.

Registry version 2026-07-30. Every rule is published, and the audit is deterministic — the same page produces the same finding every time.

The fix

The same text the audit hands you when this check fails on your own site.

Fill the missing required properties: .

Google validates required properties before granting any rich result, so an incomplete node produces nothing:

json code
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "SoftwareApplication",
  "name": "example.com",
  "applicationCategory": "BusinessApplication",
  "url": "https://example.com"
}

Only mark up what is genuinely on the page. Structured data that describes content a visitor cannot see is a manual-action risk.
