Why this matters
Structured data must be consistent across mobile and desktop to ensure accurate indexing and rich result eligibility as Google primarily uses the mobile version.
Hypothetical standard operating procedure
Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.
- Run a mobile user-agent crawl to fetch rendered pages for comparison with desktop.
- Use Google's structured data testing tools on mobile-rendered pages.
- Confirm schema types match content and follow current Google documentation.
- Ensure schema references visible content and current URLs.
- Repeat after template or component changes to catch regressions.
Watch for
Separate or inconsistent schema implementations between desktop and mobile may cause missing or misleading structured data signals.
Definition of done
Validated structured data present and matching in mobile-rendered pages as on desktop versions.
