How To Set Up Movie Carousel Schema In Schema Package

Movie Carousel Schema helps search engines understand a group of related movies displayed on a single page and makes them eligible for rich, swipeable carousel results in search.

With Schema Package, you can configure Movie Carousel Schema visually. No coding required.

This guide explains what Movie Carousel Schema is, when to use it, and how to set it up step by step using Schema Package.

What Is Movie Carousel Schema?

Movie Carousel Schema is a structured data implementation based on ItemList that groups multiple Movie entities together.

Each movie in the carousel contains its own Movie schema properties, such as:

  • Movie name
  • Movie URL
  • Poster image
  • Release date
  • Director
  • Rating (if available)

Search engines can use this structured relationship to better understand and potentially display your movies as a carousel in search results.

When Should You Use Movie Carousel Schema?

You should use Movie Carousel Schema when:

  • A page displays multiple related movies
  • Movies belong to the same category, franchise, genre, or collection
  • You want search engines to understand the relationship between movies
  • You want improved eligibility for rich search features

⚠️ Important: All movies included in the carousel must be visible on the page and genuinely related.
