Has JSON-LD Report

Abstract illustration of a JSON-LD Report schema type detected in page source, in RankGear indigo and coral.

Has JSON-LD Report checks whether the page’s raw HTML contains a JSON-LD @type of Report. It returns 1 when the string is present and 0 when it is not. Because it pattern-matches source text rather than validating a structured-data graph, a match can appear even where the markup is not valid JSON-LD.

What it measures

This factor reports whether RankGear finds an @type value of Report in the raw source of the page. It is a simple presence signal: the Report schema type is either declared in the markup or it is not.

How RankGear measures it

RankGear searches the raw HTML for "@type": "Report", allowing flexible whitespace around the colon and optionally accepting a schema: prefix. Matching is case-insensitive, so differences in capitalization do not affect the result.

How to optimize it

Use the Report type only for a genuine report, with an accurate title, authorship, publisher, dates, subject, findings, citations, and access details. Make sure every property reflects content users can verify on the page. Treat this factor as an observation of whether the markup is present, not a target to force onto pages that are not actually reports.

Important considerations

  • The detector pattern-matches source text instead of validating a JSON-LD graph.
  • A matching string sitting outside valid JSON-LD can still produce a value of 1.
  • Capitalization differences do not affect detection.
  • Validate the complete structured data independently before relying on it.
  • This is a prioritization signal that relates to position within a measured result set; presence of Report markup does not by itself cause a page to rank.
