Organization lists no profile outside your own site

sameAs is how engines and assistants tie your site to the same business elsewhere (LinkedIn, Wikipedia or Wikidata, Crunchbase, social profiles). With none, or only your own pages, nothing outside confirms who you are, and a namesake can be mistaken for you.

entity_sameas_missing · Titles, headings and schema · Warning

What triggers it

The Organization (or Person) markup on your home page lists no sameAs address outside your own domain.

What to change

Add the real profiles your business already has to sameAs in the home page's Organization JSON-LD, and keep them current. Do not list profiles you do not control.

Example

HTML to put in the page:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Organization","name":"Example Shop","url":"https://example.com","sameAs":["https://www.linkedin.com/company/example-shop","https://www.youtube.com/@exampleshop"]}
</script>

How to confirm the fix

  1. Paste the home page into validator.schema.org: Organization lists sameAs addresses that are not on your own domain
  2. Press 'Re-check 1 page' on the home page
