I created an npm library for adding some basic Schema data (along with other data) for webpages and blogpages, but I have to admit it's quite a tangled mess to figure what properties you should and what are even important. It's nice that people at Schema.org try to figure out a way to describe every relation and attribute for a webpage, but I as a developer can only see an endless chore with little idea what actually benefits eg SEO ranking and what doesn't. It would be nice if Google could shed some light what properties they consider the most useful and what can be used for special SERP widgets. One thing that I especially was mystified by were the Actions eg ViewActions or SearchActions. Are ViewActions just specifications for viewing the page in some app? And SearchActions for showing that you have search implemented, which might be shown in the SEO result as a search bar? |

The importance of SEO for search engines is always not known, we just guess what we should do to it more pleasant for search engines.
I guess, they never tell exactly what is important because of abusers and SEO spammers, otherwise a simple library could take care of it completely. We would see web frameworks to static site generators that get the most out of it automatically. That could be a really easier world to live in.
