Breadcrumbs GSC

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner implemented visual breadcrumbs on their website, but Google Search Console (GSC) is not detecting them.

Core Issue:

  • Visual breadcrumbs are displaying on the site
  • GSC’s Rich Results Test shows no breadcrumb structured data
  • The breadcrumbs report in GSC remains empty

Diagnosis:

  • Visual breadcrumbs alone are insufficient for GSC recognition
  • Breadcrumb structured data (schema markup) is required for Google to identify and index them
  • The current implementation lacks the necessary JSON-LD or microdata markup

Recommended Solution:

  • Add breadcrumb structured data following Google’s guidelines
  • Check page source code to verify the schema is present
  • Reference Google’s developer documentation for proper implementation

Status: The discussion remains open, with the original poster seeking specific guidance on which Shopify code to use and where to implement the structured data markup.

Hello, I created a snippet for breadcrumbs for my Shopify website and breadcrumbs are showing. However Google Search Console is not identifying them. How do I get GSC to identify that I have breadcrumbs? Am I missing a code? Screenshots attached show rich results test. Also seen at…

Hey @Bruce_Nolan1

This report in GSC looks for breadcrumb structured data which I don’t see on your page. If you created visual breadcrumbs, that’s different and won’t show up in this report.

Right-click on any page to view source and look for the code you created. If you don’t see it, neither does Google.

Hopefull that helps.

Hello, thank you so much for the info, do you know the shopify code and where to put it so I can have my breadcrumbs show on GSC?
