      Implementation steps

      1. Start from your live product detail page content; ensure titles, prices, and availability match the page.
      2. Embed one JSON-LD script in the head or just before the closing body tag using the combined example as a template.
      3. Fill shipping details for each region you serve and keep them aligned with on-page shipping tables.
      4. Attach your canonical MerchantReturnPolicy URL and keep the policy text in sync with Merchant Center.
      5. Add 3–6 FAQs that address purchase blockers (shipping, returns, compatibility) and keep answers consistent with visible content.
      6. Validate in the Rich Results Test and revalidate after price/availability/policy changes.

      Common errors and fixes

      FAQs

      How do I link multiple releases?

      Publish one Article per release entry on the page. If multiple entries are visible, include each Article object with its own @id.

      Can I add RSS or feeds?

      Yes. Link your RSS/Atom feed in the page head and mention it in the body; the JSON-LD can stay as CollectionPage + Article objects.
