Validate & Clean Up Your Site

Validate and clean up your site

Over time, schemas can stop matching your site. You rename a page, delete a post, or change a URL, and the schema connected to it can end up with an error or point to a page that no longer exists.

Rich Snippets Manager lets you review your schemas in one place, fix common problems, and remove orphaned schemas. No technical knowledge needed.

What to check

Step by step

Step 1: Open Rich Snippets Manager

Go to Schemafy → Rich Snippets Manager. You will see a table with all your schemas and their current status.

At the top, you may see a summary like: “52 schemas total: 44 valid, 5 errors, 3 orphans”. That is your starting point.

Step 2: Validate everything

Click Validate All. Schemafy checks each schema against Google's requirements. This usually takes a few seconds.

Step 3: Fix common errors

Click Fix Errors. Schemafy can correct common issues such as:

• Empty required fields, when it is safe to add a default value.
• Formatting problems, like invalid dates or URLs.
• Duplicate schemas on the same page.

After the fix, review the summary. If some schemas need manual review, open each one to see exactly what needs attention.

Step 4: Remove orphaned schemas

Click Clean Orphans. If Schemafy finds schemas assigned to pages that no longer exist, confirm that you want to remove them.

Step 5: Review the final numbers

A clean setup should look like this:

• All important schemas: valid ✅
• Errors: 0 ❌
• Orphans: 0 👻

When to do this

• After a big content update, when you move, rename, or delete pages.
• Once a month, as simple maintenance.
• After migrating your site, if URLs or domains changed.
• Before checking Google Search Console, so Google receives clean structured data.

Why this matters for SEO

Every schema with an error is a missed opportunity. Google can mark it as invalid and skip rich results for that page.

This review takes around 2 minutes and helps you avoid silent issues that could reduce visibility.
