Schema markup (JSON-LD) support
A
Awake Ant
We want to add Schema Markup (JSON-LD) to build a standardized, structured metadata API directly into our HTML <head> to give web crawlers a clean object model to parse.
Additionally, Voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant) rely heavily on structured Q&As, so a properly configured Answer.text property acts as a read-ready script.
Core Schema types we want for our help center:
- TechArticle (highest priority)
For individual help articles (e.g., "Send a Message", "Download Dialpad"). This is the most impactful schema for a help center.
Fields: headline, description, datePublished, dateModified, author, articleSection (maps to the category like "Calls & Messages")
- FAQPage
Many help articles are structured as question-and-answer content. Adding FAQPage with Question + Answer pairs can earn FAQ rich results directly in Google SERPs — high-value for support queries.
- HowTo
For step-by-step setup and configuration guides (e.g., "Set Call Routing Rules", "Set a Custom Ring Duration"). Enables rich result display with numbered steps.
- BreadcrumbList
The site has a clear hierarchy: Help Center → Category → Article. Breadcrumb schema improves navigation display in search results.
- WebSite + SearchAction (Sitelinks Search Box)
The homepage has a prominent search bar (CTRL + K). Adding SearchAction on the WebSite schema can surface a search box directly in Google results for the brand.
- VideoObject
The homepage and articles embed YouTube videos (e.g., tutorial videos). Marking these up can enable video rich results and carousels.
- Organization
On the homepage/footer to establish Dialpad's identity — name, logo, social profiles, contact URL. Supports knowledge panel accuracy.
- SoftwareApplication
For pages describing the Dialpad app itself (download page, feature pages)
