BreadcrumbList schema

Breadcrumb navigation

A focused BreadcrumbList example for a three-level content hierarchy.

Make the hierarchy explicit

This page sits below the site's home page and the Guides section represented by the How-to route. The visible breadcrumb is keyboard-accessible navigation, and the schema graph mirrors its exact order.

The final item identifies the current page and does not need a link. Keeping that rule consistent makes the hierarchy clear to both readers and structured-data consumers.

For readers

A breadcrumb answers “where am I?” and offers a short route back to a broader section.

For the graph

The BreadcrumbList records each position and URL using the same labels shown in the navigation.
