Common Questions

Q: How does your manual schema setup differ from plugins?

Plugins generate generic markup. SchemaHouse manually audits real business data to ensure machine trust.

Q: Is there a recurring fee?

Core schema setups are one-time. WatchDog is optional monthly monitoring.

Question 1

How does your manual Schema setup beat generic plugins?

Answer

Most plugins generate "thin" data that search engines often ignore. We log directly into your site to hard-code rich, interconnected entities. This provides Google with a clear "knowledge graph" of your business, which is essential for Map Pack rankings and AI-driven search results.

Question 2

Do I need to give you full access to my website?

Answer

To perform the injection, we require temporary Manager or Admin access to your CMS (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.). Once the schema is hard-coded and verified via the Google Rich Results test, you can safely revoke access. The optimization stays on your site forever.

Question 3

Why is Apple Business Connect a priority for 2025?

Answer

Apple Business Connect powers Apple Maps, Siri, and even Mail. With the rise of "Apple Intelligence," having a verified, high-fidelity listing ensures your business appears correctly across the entire iOS ecosystem, where high-intent customers are searching.

Question 4

Is there a recurring fee?

Answer

No. Unlike SEO software that charges monthly to keep your schema active, SchemaHouse is a one-time setup fee. Because the code is injected directly into your site’s header, it remains there permanently without any ongoing costs.

Question 5

What is the SchemaHouse WatchDog service?

Answer

WatchDog is an optional, monthly monitoring service designed to prevent "data drift." Even though our code is hard-coded, a third-party plugin update or a change in a CMS template can sometimes accidentally overwrite or conflict with your schema. I personally monitor your site's structural integrity and your Apple Business Connect cards to ensure your factual data remains 100% accurate and verified.

Question 6

Do I have to sign up for WatchDog to get results?

Answer

No. Our core setups are one-time and built to last. WatchDog is purely an insurance policy for business owners who don't have the time to check their own Google Search Console or Apple Maps listings for errors. It keeps me "on call" to fix any technical issues that arise as your website evolves.

Question 7

What happens if my business info changes (like new hours)?

Answer

If you are on the WatchDog plan, you simply shoot me an email and I update your site’s hard-coded schema and your Apple Business Connect profile for you. This ensures that a simple change in your business hours doesn't lead to months of confusing, inconsistent data across the web.
