Schema as the machine-readable product record
For candles Shopify brands, Product schema is the record models and Shopping surfaces expect. Broader audit context: AI visibility audit for Shopify. Organization schema on the homepage should match the brand entity you want named in answers.
Minimum viable Product JSON-LD
Include name, image, brand, description, and offers with price, currency, and availability. Add SKU/GTIN when you have them. Keep names human-readable — not internal ERP codes as the only title.
FAQ and education URLs
Add FAQPage on education URLs that answer common candles shopper questions. Those pages often become citation targets for problem/solution prompts. Keep answers factual and stable.
Entity consistency
Brand spelling in schema, title tags, packaging, and PR should match. Inconsistent entities are a quiet reason models recommend a competitor with cleaner identity signals.
Validation workflow
Validate with a Rich Results / schema tester, fix theme app conflicts that inject duplicate Product blocks, then confirm TopMention’s schema checks pass on a re-scan.
What not to do
Do not mark up fake reviews, unavailable products as InStock, or unrelated pages as Product. Invalid markup can hurt trust more than having minimal honest schema.
