# Location for page specific scripts

 * Hi, I’m looking to add some schema to a specific page. I found tutorials on how
   to add the JSON-LD to a custom field, and then add some code to the header.php
   which pulls it in based on the page ID.
 * However, I noticed that in the page editing screen of wordpress, it has a section
   to add “Page-specific Scripts.
 * If I put the json-ld script in there, will it be output to the head or body? 
   Is this acceptable or not? The script would look something like this (I think):
 *     ```
       <script type="application/ld+json">
       {
         "@context": "http://schema.org",
         "@type": "Product",
         "description": "The description of my product goes here",
         "name": "The name of my product goes here",
         "image": "http://www.mydomain.com/pictureofmyproduct.jpg",
         "offers": {
           "@type": "Offer",
           "price": "11.00",
           "priceCurrency": "USD"
         },
       }
       </script>
       ```
   
 * Thanks for the help!

 * Hello [@acann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acann/)
 * May I ask why you’re using Schema mark up in the first place?
 * IF the only reason you’re using Schema is SEO, I’d say don’t bother.
 * You may find the long read I will link below interesting, but here’s the summery
   in relation to your issue.
 * _Backlinko_ analyzed one million search results and concluded:
 * > There is No Correlation Between Schema Markup and Rankings

 * No, ranking has nothing to do with it for me, in fact I didn’t think it had anything
   to do with ranking period (wasn’t aware that was a debate?). The schema (if I
   understand it) is used to enable rich cards/snippet in search results (among 
   other things) by giving the search engine meta-data related to the content. For
   example, for pages containing a recipe, using the recipe schema enables showing
   a thumbnail of the dish, ratings, cook time, etc, right in the search result.
   My intention was to leverage the “product” markup for pages representing a product
   for sale, so that things like rating, product image, price, etc will be available
   for use in search result snippet displays.
 * In theory, the primary reason for doing this is not ranking, but click through
   rate. At least, that is my intention in trying to use it, to make the result (
   wherever in the ranking it happens to be) appear more appealing to the searcher,
   so they will be that much more likely to click on it.
 * However, in the case of this post I wasn’t asking about the importantance of 
   schema, I was merely asking if scripts I put in the “page-specific script” box
   within the “edit page” screen of wordpress will be output in the body, or the
   head. I’m guessing the body, but wanted to check. Thanks for any assistance you
   can provide.

 * Noted with thanks for the detailed reply. In that case you may be right in using
   Schema mark up.
 * I am not aware of any **“page-specific script”** section in the default wordpress
   page editor. It sounds like this may be a part of a **plugin you are using**.
 * However, if you just want a short answer, **create a test page and add random
   test text / script to its “page-specific script” box** and then load the page.
   After doing so, you can **right-click** and then select **“view page source”**
 * You will see the **html code** for your page. You can then look for the test 
   text/script you added to determine if it’s added to the **<head>** or **<body
   >** section **(most likely it will be in the head section)**
 * I can also try to help if you **post a link** to the test page.

 * Hi, sorry for the mixup, the section exists due to the Genesis Framework. It 
   puts it in the body, not the head, but I’ve been told on Google Forums that it
   doesn’t matter, Google doesn’t care where it is.
