This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of InsuranceAgency in a page’s raw source HTML. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not. Because it pattern-matches text rather than validating a JSON-LD graph, a match is evidence the markup exists—not proof that the structured data is valid.

What it measures
This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value for InsuranceAgency in the raw source. It is a single presence check: the InsuranceAgency type is either declared in the page’s markup or it is not.
How RankGear measures it
RankGear searches the raw HTML for the @type declaration "@type": "InsuranceAgency", allowing flexible whitespace around the colon and quotes and optionally permitting a schema: prefix. Matching is case-insensitive, so capitalization differences do not change the result. If the pattern is found anywhere in the source text, the factor returns 1; otherwise it returns 0.
What RankGear looks for
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "InsuranceAgency",
"name": "...",
"address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "...": "..." }
}
</script>| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | An @type of InsuranceAgency was matched in the raw HTML. |
| 0 | No InsuranceAgency type declaration was found in the source. |
How to optimize it
Use InsuranceAgency only for a genuine insurance agency, and only when the page’s structured data accurately describes it—policy services, service area, licensing or regulatory details, location, hours, and contact information. Ensure every property reflects content a user can verify on the page itself. Treat the value as an observation of whether the type is declared, not a target to force onto pages that are not insurance agencies.
Important considerations
- The detector pattern-matches source text instead of validating a JSON-LD graph, so a 1 confirms the string is present, not that the markup is well-formed.
- A matching string that sits outside valid JSON-LD—for example in a comment or an example snippet—can still produce a 1.
- Capitalization differences do not affect detection, since matching is case-insensitive.
- Validate the complete structured data independently with a schema validator before relying on it.
- Correlation is not causation: this signal relates to how pages are prioritized within a measured result set; declaring the type does not by itself cause a page to rank.
