How To Set Up Course Carousel Schema In Schema Package
Course Carousel Schema helps search engines understand a group of related courses displayed on a single page and makes them eligible for rich, swipeable carousel results in search.
With Schema Package, you can configure Course Carousel Schema visually.
This guide explains what Course Carousel Schema is, when to use it, and how to set it up step by step using Schema Package.
What Is Course Carousel Schema?
Course Carousel Schema is a structured data implementation based on ItemList that groups multiple Course entities together.
Each course in the carousel contains its own Course schema properties, such as:
- Course name
- Course URL
- Image or cover photo
- Course description
- Instructor
- Rating (if available)
Search engines can use this structured relationship to better understand and potentially display your courses as a carousel in search results.
When Should You Use Course Carousel Schema?
You should use Course Carousel Schema when:
- A page displays multiple related courses
- Courses belong to the same category, program, or learning path
- You want search engines to understand the relationship between courses
- You want improved eligibility for rich search features
⚠️ Important: All courses included in the carousel must be visible on the page and genuinely related.
