Pond

Pond is a direct BodyOfWater subtype for ponds: small natural or artificial standing-water bodies. It adds no properties of its own.

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

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

schema.org/Pond
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Pond",
  "name": "Xoo Code Pond",
  "description": "Small ornamental pond outside the Xoo Code Dunmore headquarters, stocked with koi.",
  "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 41.4267, "longitude": -75.6325 },
  "containedInPlace": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Xoo Code plaza" }

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid Pond 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 type="application/ld+json">

  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Pond",

Google rich results this unlocks

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

Common Pond 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.

  1. 01

    Pond for a large lake

    Wrong
    Pond for a sizeable natural lake
    Right
    LakeBodyOfWater for lakes; Pond for small water bodies

    Size is the distinguishing feature. There is no hard boundary, but a lake-scale feature should use LakeBodyOfWater.
