Pages with Image Metadata Structured Data Errors

Priority: Low

Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Images schema errors reduce the likelihood of proper attribution when search engines reference your visual content in generated answers.

How do you fix it​

  • Ensure required properties are present: contentUrl and at least one of creator, creditText, copyrightNotice, or license

  • Verify license contains a URL to a page describing usage terms (licensing page or Creative Commons license)
  • Add recommended properties: acquireLicensePage, creator with creator.name, creditText, and copyrightNotice
  • Apply metadata to every image instance across all pages where the image appears

Follow Google's Image Metadata guidelines for complete requirements

What is the positive impact​

Invalid image metadata may prevent search engines from properly attributing your visual content when referenced in search results.

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:

Operation: 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 } } } }Variables: {"crawlId":"TjAwNUNyYXdsNDAwMA","reportTemplateCode":"pages_with_image_metadata_schema_issues"}
