]Implement and verify
- 01
Start with the live page

- 03
Complete regional details
Fill shipping destinations and timing for every region the page actually serves.
- 04
Link the return policy
Use a stable MerchantReturnPolicy URL and keep its terms synchronized with the page.
- 05

- 06
Validate after changes
Run Rich Results Test after implementation and whenever price, availability, or policy data changes.
Common errors and fixes
- Missing currency or availability
Use ISO currency codes and complete schema.org availability URLs in Offer data.

Reference MerchantReturnPolicy from the Offer and provide a stable public policy URL.
- FAQ answers differ from the page

Stack FAQs
Should I include addenda?
If addenda are listed on the page, update the CreativeWork description and include dates in the FAQ.
How do I show multiple bid packages?
Use separate CreativeWork entries or separate stack pages per project to avoid mixing scopes.
