This factor reports whether the page’s raw HTML contains a JSON-LD @type of AutoBodyShop — a 1 if the string is present, a 0 if it is not. RankGear pattern-matches the source text; it does not parse or validate the JSON-LD graph, so a match only tells you the markup is written, not that it is correct.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of AutoBodyShop in the raw source of the page. AutoBodyShop is the Schema.org type for a business that repairs vehicle bodywork, and its presence signals that the page describes such a business with structured data. The result is a simple binary: the type is either declared in the markup or it is not.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for the string "@type": "AutoBodyShop", allowing flexible whitespace around the colon and optionally a schema: prefix on the type value. Matching is case-insensitive, so capitalization differences do not affect detection. The check is a text-pattern match against the source — it does not build or traverse a JSON-LD graph.
What RankGear looks for
"@type": "AutoBodyShop"
"@type":"schema:AutoBodyShop" (schema: prefix optional, case-insensitive)| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | An @type of AutoBodyShop was found in the raw HTML. |
| 0 | No matching AutoBodyShop type string was found. |
How to optimize it
Use the AutoBodyShop type only for a genuine body-repair business, and populate it with accurate location, hours, contact, and service details. The markup should describe visible, truthful content on the page — structured data that misrepresents the business or that no user can verify works against you rather than for you. If the page is not an auto body shop, a 0 here is the correct and expected result; treat this factor as an observation about the page’s markup, not a target to force.
Important considerations
- RankGear pattern-matches source text rather than parsing or validating a JSON-LD graph.
- A matching string that sits outside a valid JSON-LD
<script>block can still produce a 1, so a positive result does not guarantee valid, machine-readable structured data. - Capitalization differences do not affect detection.
- All structured data must match visible, truthful content on the page.
- This is a prioritization signal that relates to position within a measured result set — it does not on its own make a page rank, and correlation is not causation.
