This factor reports whether RankGear finds an EducationalOrganization @type value in a page’s raw source HTML. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not. Because the check is a text match rather than a validated JSON-LD graph, a 1 confirms the string exists — not that your structured data is valid.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of EducationalOrganization in the raw source of the page. It is a presence signal about the markup itself — it does not assess whether the surrounding JSON-LD is well-formed, complete, or accurate.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for the "@type": "EducationalOrganization" string, allowing flexible whitespace around the colon and optionally permitting a schema: prefix. Matching is case-sensitive, so the capitalization must match exactly. If a match is found the factor is 1; otherwise it is 0.
What RankGear looks for
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "EducationalOrganization",
"name": "Example Academy"
}
</script>| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | The EducationalOrganization @type string is present in the raw HTML. |
| 0 | No matching string was found in the raw HTML. |
How to optimize it
Use EducationalOrganization only for a genuine educational organization, and only when its identity, location, programs, accreditation, and contact details are accurate and match the visible content of the page. Treat this factor as an observation about which schema types you have deployed — not as a target to chase for its own sake. Adding the string to a page that is not an educational organization does not make the markup correct.
Important considerations
- The detector pattern-matches source text rather than validating a JSON-LD graph, so a 1 does not confirm valid structured data.
- A matching string that sits outside valid JSON-LD — for example in a comment, script, or plain text — can still produce a 1.
- Capitalization must match exactly; a differently cased variant will read as 0.
- Validate the complete structured data independently with a schema testing tool before relying on it.
- This is a correlation-based prioritization signal that tracks how a page relates to others in a measured result set; presence of the markup does not by itself cause or guarantee a ranking.
