Schema markup enhances SEO by providing search engines with structured data, improving visibility and rich search results. It helps websites gain featured snippets, star ratings, and other rich snippets that boost click-through rates.

Search Engine Journal contributor Adam Riemer has published an article answering the question ‘How Long Does It Take For Schema To Rank?’.

The SEJ team says, “This week’s Ask an SEO question comes from Mariya from Irinjalakuda, India, who asks:

“How much time does it take for schema to go live on a SERP?”

Great question Mariya, and an easy one to answer.

Schema “goes live” on a search engine ranking position immediately once the search engine has refreshed its current version of the page which includes a crawl and the index updating with the new code. Once this happens the new code with the schema deployed is shown.

For authoritative pages that get crawled and refreshed regularly, it could be a few hours. With newer sites, it could be a week or two. But schema does not help you rank. The job of schema is to help search engines know what the page is about, what is in each section of the page, and in some cases, why the page should be trusted.”
