This factor reports whether RankGear finds a JSON-LD @type of BankOrCreditUnion in a page’s raw HTML. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not — a presence check on source text, not a validation of the underlying schema graph.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of BankOrCreditUnion in the raw source. BankOrCreditUnion is the Schema.org type used to describe a financial institution such as a bank or credit union branch, and this signal simply notes whether that type is declared on the page.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for the string "@type": "BankOrCreditUnion", allowing flexible whitespace around the tokens and optionally a schema: prefix on the type value. Matching is case-insensitive, so capitalization differences do not change the result.
What RankGear looks for
"@type": "BankOrCreditUnion"
"@type" : "schema:BankOrCreditUnion"| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | The BankOrCreditUnion type string was found in the raw HTML. |
| 0 | The string was not found in the raw HTML. |
How to optimize it
Use BankOrCreditUnion only for a real financial institution, with accurate branch locations, hours, contact details, and service data. Declaring the type is a modeling decision rather than a target to chase: add it when it truthfully describes the entity the page represents, and skip it when it does not.
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 can still produce a 1.
- Capitalization differences do not affect detection.
- All structured data must match visible, truthful content on the page.
- Presence of this type correlates with, and does not cause, position within a measured result set — treat it as one prioritization signal, not a ranking guarantee.
