Intangible

Intangible is a Thing subtype. A utility class that serves as the umbrella for a number of 'intangible' things such as quantities, structured values, etc.

Full example of schema.org/Intangible json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/Intangible

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Intangible",
  "name": "Example Intangible"
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid Intangible entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

schema.org/Intangible (minimal)

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Intangible",
  "name": "Example"
}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

Intangible is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Intangible becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Intangible mistakes

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.

01
Using bare Thing instead of the specific Intangible subtype
Wrong
```
"@type": "Thing"
```
Right
```
"@type": "Intangible"
```
Specific subtypes carry domain context consumers use; reach for the narrowest applicable type.
