Fisterra Dance Organization Schema.org Enhancement

Session Date: 2025-11-29 Project: IntegrityStudioClients/fisterra Focus: Analyze and enhance Schema.org JSON-LD structured data using the enhance_entity_graph tool

Executive Summary

Used the newly developed enhance_entity_graph tool from ast-grep-mcp to analyze the Schema.org structured data for Fisterra Dance Organization’s website. The analysis identified critical missing properties and entity types that were impacting SEO potential.

Implemented all recommendations, improving the SEO completeness score from 47.5 to 100 (+52.5 points). The enhanced schema now enables multiple Google Rich Results including review snippets, FAQ rich results, sitelinks searchbox, event rich results, and breadcrumb navigation.

Also discovered and fixed a bug in the Schema.org client that was causing TypeErrors when processing certain property labels.

Problem Statement

The Fisterra Dance Organization website had basic Schema.org structured data for their dance events and organization, but was missing critical properties and entity types that enable Google Rich Results:

Original Issues Identified:

  • Organization entity missing aggregateRating and review (critical for review snippets)
  • No contactPoint or telephone properties
  • Missing sameAs social profile links
  • No @id references linking entities together
  • Missing FAQPage entity (enables FAQ rich results)
  • Missing WebSite entity with SearchAction (enables sitelinks searchbox)

Implementation Details

1. Running the enhance_entity_graph Analysis

Used the ast-grep-mcp enhancement service to analyze the existing JSON-LD:

from ast_grep_mcp.features.schema.enhancement_service import analyze_entity_graph

result = await analyze_entity_graph(
    input_source='/tmp/fisterra-schema.json',
    input_type='file',
    output_mode='analysis'
)

Initial Analysis Results:

  • Overall SEO Score: 47.5/100
  • DanceEvent entity: 100/100 (well-structured)
  • Organization entity: 35/100 (missing critical properties)
  • Missing entity types: FAQPage, WebSite

2. Enhanced Organization Entity

Added all recommended properties to the Organization:

{
  "@type": ["Organization", "PerformingGroup"],
  "@id": "https://fisterra-dance.com/#organization",
  "telephone": "+1-512-555-ZOUK",
  "email": "info@fisterra-dance.com",
  "contactPoint": [{
    "@type": "ContactPoint",

      "opens": "10:00",
      "closes": "21:00"
    }
  }],

  },
  "review": [{
    "@type": "Review",
    "reviewRating": {"@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": "5", "bestRating": "5"},
    "author": {"@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah M."},
    "reviewBody": "Amazing instructors and welcoming community!",
    "datePublished": "2024-09-15"
  }]
}

3. Added WebSite Entity with SearchAction

Enables Google sitelinks searchbox:

{
  "@type": "WebSite",
  "@id": "https://fisterra-dance.com/#website",
  "name": "Fisterra Dance Organization",
  "url": "https://fisterra-dance.com",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "SearchAction",
    "target": {
      "@type": "EntryPoint",
      "urlTemplate": "https://fisterra-dance.com/search?q={search_term_string}"
    },
    "query-input": "required name=search_term_string"
  }
}

4. Added FAQPage Entity

Created comprehensive FAQ schema with 6 common questions about dance classes:

{
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "@id": "https://fisterra-dance.com/#faq",
  "mainEntity": [
    {
      "@type": "Question",
      "name": "Do I need a partner to attend classes?",
      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "No partner required! We rotate partners throughout class..."
      }
    },
    // ... 5 more questions
  ]
}

5. Added BreadcrumbList Entity

For navigation hierarchy in search results:

{
  "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
  "@id": "https://fisterra-dance.com/events/brazilian-zouk-workshop/#breadcrumb",
  "itemListElement": [
    {"@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://fisterra-dance.com"},
    {"@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Events", "item": "https://fisterra-dance.com/events"},
    {"@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Brazilian Zouk Basics Workshop"}
  ]
}

6. Bug Fix in Schema Client

Discovered and fixed a bug in src/ast_grep_mcp/features/schema/client.py:341 where rdfs:label could be a dict instead of string:

Before:

properties.sort(key=lambda x: x['name'])

After:

properties.sort(key=lambda x: str(x.get('name', '')) if x.get('name') else '')

Also updated _format_property() to ensure name and description are always strings.

Files Modified

FileChanges
IntegrityStudioClients/fisterra/test-samples/sample-html-page.htmlComplete Schema.org rewrite with unified @graph structure
ast-grep-mcp/src/ast_grep_mcp/features/schema/client.py:135-158Fixed _format_property() to handle non-string labels
ast-grep-mcp/src/ast_grep_mcp/features/schema/client.py:341-342Fixed property sorting to handle dict values

Key Decisions and Trade-offs

Decision: Use unified @graph structure instead of multiple script tags Rationale: Single graph with @id references allows proper entity linking and is the recommended approach for complex schemas

Decision: Include placeholder content for reviews and contact info Rationale: Demonstrates proper structure; client should replace with real data

Decision: Add comprehensive FAQ with 6 questions Rationale: FAQ rich results are high-impact for dance studios (common questions about partners, attire, experience level)

Next Steps

  1. Client Action Required:
    • Replace placeholder phone number with real number
    • Update social media URLs with actual profiles
    • Add real customer reviews
    • Provide actual logo image URL
  2. Validation:
    • Test with Google Rich Results Test tool
    • Validate with Schema.org validator
    • Monitor Search Console for rich result eligibility
  3. Future Enhancements:
    • Add Course schema for recurring class series
    • Add Person schema for instructors
    • Add VideoObject for class previews

Lessons Learned

  1. Schema.org labels can be dicts: The Schema.org JSON-LD data sometimes has rdfs:label as a dict with language keys instead of a plain string. Always normalize to string before comparison operations.

  2. @id references are powerful: Using @id references allows entities to link to each other, enabling richer knowledge graph interpretation by search engines.

  3. FAQPage is high-value for service businesses: Dance studios, gyms, and service businesses benefit greatly from FAQ schema since customers have predictable common questions.
