Pages with Breadcrumb Structured Data Errors

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Pages with Breadcrumb errors won't display navigation trails in search results, removing contextual clues about page location and making it harder for users to assess relevance.

How do you fix it​

  • Ensure all required properties are present: itemListElement with item (URL), name (breadcrumb title), and position (starting at 1)

  • Verify position values are sequential integers starting at 1 and increasing by 1 for each level
  • Check that each breadcrumb item contains a valid URL except for the final item (current page)
  • Ensure breadcrumb trails represent typical user paths rather than mirroring URL structure

Follow Google's Breadcrumb guidelines for complete requirements

What is the positive impact​

Breadcrumb trails are eligible to display in search results, providing clear hierarchical context about page location and making it easier for searchers to assess relevance before clicking.

How to fetch the data for this report template​

You will need to run a crawl for report template to generate report. When report has been generated and you have crawl id you can fetch data for the report using the following query:

query GetReportStatForCrawl(
    $crawlId: ObjectID!
    $reportTemplateCode: String!
    $after: String
   ) {
      getReportStat(
        input: {crawlId: $crawlId, reportTemplateCode: $reportTemplateCode}
      ) {
        crawlStructuredDataBlocks(after: $after, reportType: Basic) {
          nodes {
            url
            schemaType
            issuesSummary
            blockCount
            errorCount
            warningCount
            validationResult
            issues
          }
          totalCount
          pageInfo {
            endCursor
            hasNextPage
          }
        }
     }
   }
