Did you know that All in One SEO Pro lets you add Schema markup for courses?
This means that search engines can display rich snippets for your course like the example below.
IMPORTANT:
You can’t force Google to display search results like this. It happens on a per search basis depending on whether they feel it’s the best way to display the results.
In this article we’ll cover the following:
Setting the Default Schema Type for all Courses
To set the default Schema Type for your courses, click on Search Appearance in the All in One SEO menu, then click on the Content Types tab.
Scroll down to the section for your courses and click on the Schema Markup tab.
Now select Course in the Schema Type drop down and click the Save Changes button.
For more detail on this, please see our article on Configuring Schema Settings here.

Configuring the Course Specific Information
When you click on Course as the Schema Type for your content, you’ll see a popup with additional fields where you can enter your course information.
NOTE:
The information you set in All in One SEO only appears in the source code of your content. It does not appear as content visible to visitors on your site.
Complete the fields as described below:
- Name – Enter the name of your course. By default, this is set to your post title.
- Description – Enter the description of your course. By default, this is set to your post content.
In the Course Provider section, you can set the following fields.
- Name – Enter the name of the organization that runs this course.
- URL – Enter the web address for the organization that runs this course.
You can leave all these fields blank if you have set an Organization in the Knowledge Graph settings and want to use that one.
Once you’ve completed the fields, click the Add Schema button to save them.
You can also save this as a template which you can use on other courses by clicking the Save Schema as Template button.
