Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings
Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying ClaimReview schema.
Missing ratingValue or alternateName in reviewRating
Omitting the text verdict (alternateName: 'False') or numeric ratingValue in reviewRating.
Populate reviewRating with both numeric ratingValue and clear alternateName verdict string.
Omitted itemReviewed Author or Source Entity
Failing to attribute who originally made the evaluated claim inside itemReviewed.
Specify itemReviewed with author Person/Organization and datePublished.
Publishing Fact Check on Non-Journalistic / Commercial Pages
Placing ClaimReview markup on commercial product sales pages to discredit competitors.
Use ClaimReview strictly on non-partisan, certified journalistic fact-checking articles.
