Schema.org for search results page

I implemented a Google Sitelinks Searchbox on my home page. I've checked https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/sitelinks-searchbox and it doesn't mention which format I should use for the results page.

Which Schema.org type can be used for my own SERPs? Should I use an XML sitemap, JSON-LD, Microdata?

Solution

  • You can use the SearchResultsPage type.

    Each result could be a WebPage (or a more specific type, like ItemPage if it applies).

    To connect the SearchResultsPage with the WebPage results, you can use the mainEntity property with an ItemList value. You can find RDFa examples in this answer.
