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

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

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "PathologyTest",
  "name": "Pleural biopsy with Ziehl-Neelsen staining",

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid PathologyTest 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.

}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

PathologyTest 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). PathologyTest becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common PathologyTest 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.
