      Run Rich Results Test after implementation and whenever price, availability, or policy data changes.

    Quality check

    Common errors and fixes

    • Missing currency or availability

    Questions

    Stack FAQs

    Should I include fasting instructions?

    If fasting or prep instructions appear on the page, include them as a dedicated HowTo step.

    Do I need multiple clinics on one page?

    If the checklist applies to multiple clinics, either include one MedicalClinic per location or keep it scoped to the page location.
