Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using generic Event for a food tasting

    Wrong
    "@type": "Event" for a tasting menu night or food festival
    Right
    "@type": "FoodEvent"
