About the Book Schema Generator

The Book Schema Generator creates schema.org Book JSON-LD for author websites, publisher catalogs and book review pages. Enter the title, author, ISBN, format and publication date and it outputs a valid structured-data script tag you can paste straight into the page.

Books often exist in several editions — hardcover, paperback, ebook, audiobook — and the generator models that correctly with repeatable workExample entries, each its own Book with a bookEdition label, ISBN, format and date. That is the structure Google's Book actions documentation expects.

Everything runs 100% locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded, so unpublished titles and metadata stay private. It is handy for authors, indie publishers and bookstore sites that want richer search listings without hand-writing JSON.

Frequently asked questions

What is Book schema?

Book schema is structured data describing a book — its title, author, ISBN, format and publisher — in schema.org's vocabulary. Search engines use it to understand book pages, power knowledge panel details and connect different editions of the same work.

What is workExample in Book markup?

workExample links the abstract work to its concrete editions. The top-level Book represents the story itself, while each workExample entry is a specific edition — the 2nd edition paperback or the Kindle version — with its own ISBN, format and publication date.

Should I use ISBN-10 or ISBN-13?

Use ISBN-13 — it has been the standard since 2007 and is what retailers and search engines expect. Enter it without spaces or hyphens for the cleanest markup, and give each edition its own ISBN in its workExample row.

Does Book schema guarantee a rich result?

No. Valid markup makes a page eligible, but Google decides what to display, and full Book actions integration additionally requires a feed arrangement for most sites. The schema still helps search engines understand and disambiguate your book pages.

How do I mark up an audiobook?

Choose the Audiobook format in the generator, which sets bookFormat to schema.org/AudiobookFormat. If the audiobook coexists with print editions, keep it as a workExample edition alongside the hardcover and ebook entries under the same parent Book.
