Schema Confidence Score™ – Official Definition

Schema Confidence Score™ is a proprietary Ivica Srncevic metric that evaluates how accurately, consistently, and comprehensively structured data represents the entities, attributes, and relationships on a page. It measures schema correctness, completeness, alignment with on‑page content, and the strength of entity anchoring — without being affiliated with Google or any search engine.

What the metric measures

1. Schema Accuracy

Does the schema correctly represent:

  • the primary entity
  • entity type
  • attributes
  • relationships
  • expected properties

2. Schema Completeness

Does the schema include:

  • required properties
  • recommended properties
  • contextual properties
  • nested entities
  • relationship definitions

3. Schema–Content Alignment

Does the structured data match the visible content?

  • no contradictions
  • no missing attributes
  • no mismatched values
  • no phantom entities

This is where most sites fail.

4. Entity Anchoring Strength

How strongly schema reinforces:

  • entity identity
  • entity role
  • entity relationships
  • entity hierarchy

This is critical for AI interpretation.
