Has JSON-LD Dermatology reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of Dermatology in a page’s raw source. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not. Because the check reads source text rather than validating a JSON-LD graph, a match confirms the string exists — not that a valid schema does.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value for Dermatology in the page’s raw source. It is a presence signal for the Dermatology medical-specialty type in a page’s structured-data markup, expressed as a simple yes/no.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for "@type": "Dermatology", allowing flexible whitespace around the tokens and optionally permitting a schema: prefix on the value. Matching is case-insensitive, so capitalization differences do not affect detection. Any match anywhere in the source returns 1; no match returns 0.
What RankGear looks for
"@type": "Dermatology"
"@type" : "schema:Dermatology" ← schema: prefix and extra whitespace both allowed
"@TYPE":"dermatology" ← case-insensitive| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Dermatology @type string was found in the raw source. |
| 0 | No Dermatology @type string was found. |
How to optimize it
Use the Dermatology type only where it accurately characterizes the marked healthcare entity, and give it properties that match the visible content of the page. Treat a 1 as confirmation that the string is present, not as proof the surrounding structured data is complete or valid — the detector cannot tell a well-formed graph from a stray string.
Important considerations
- The detector pattern-matches source text instead of validating a JSON-LD graph, so it confirms the string only.
- A matching string that sits outside valid JSON-LD can still produce a 1.
- Capitalization differences do not affect detection; matching is case-insensitive.
- Validate the complete structured data independently before relying on it.
- Presence of this type correlates with pages in a measured result set; it is a prioritization signal, not a guarantee of ranking.
