I'm interested to hear how others are implementing schema, and maybe get some feedback on how I'm doing it. Most of my clients are small local businesses and their websites are usually no more than 10-20 pages. Most of them are using Yoast, so I'm converting them over to using the free version of Rank Math. I'm letting Rank Math handle most of the pages, but for the major pages (Home, Services, FAQ, Jobs, Contact) I'm adding the schema manually with a header/footer plugin. I'd love to hear from anyone who has done it this way and if you found any pros or cons.
