The structured data validator checks the markup Yandex reads: Schema.org, microformats, Open Graph and HTML microdata.
What it tells you
- Whether the markup parses at all.
- Which properties Yandex actually recognised.
- Which required fields are missing for a given feature.
Validation is not eligibility
Markup that parses can still fail to produce a rich result. Validation proves the syntax; the feature remains Yandex’s decision.
Alien Road
How we apply this
Yandex supports microformats more meaningfully than Google does, which occasionally matters for older Russian-market sites. We validate against both engines before concluding that markup is correct.
