🔍 What Is This Issue?
After OTTO deploys schemas to your site, Google Search Console (GSC) may flag schema errors or warnings on certain pages — including your homepage. This can happen when OTTO deploys structured data to a page that has not yet been crawled, or when a schema type (such as Article schema) is removed and the change is not yet reflected in Google's index.
This article walks you through the steps that our support team has confirmed resolve this issue.
⚙️ Step 1: Review and Roll Back Problem Schemas in OTTO
The first step is to identify which schemas are causing the GSC errors and temporarily remove them so your site is in a clean state before reindexing.
- Go to your Search Atlas dashboard and navigate to OTTO.
- Locate the site experiencing GSC errors and open its OTTO settings.
- Review the schemas currently deployed on the affected page (for example, your homepage).
- Temporarily roll back or undeploy the schemas that GSC is flagging as errors. If you are unsure which schemas to remove, start with any recently changed or newly added schema types on that page.
- Save your changes inside OTTO.
🌐 Step 2: Republish Your Site
After rolling back the schemas in OTTO, you need to push those changes live on your website.
- Wix users: Log in to your Wix dashboard and republish your site so the updated (schema-free) version is publicly accessible.
- Other platforms: Clear any caching layers and ensure the live version of your page no longer contains the flagged schema markup. You can verify this by viewing the page source or using Google's Rich Results Test tool.
📊 Step 3: Request Reindexing in Google Search Console
Once your site is republished without the problematic schemas, ask Google to recrawl and reindex the affected page.
- Open Google Search Console and select your property.
- Paste the URL of the affected page (e.g., your homepage) into the URL Inspection tool at the top of the screen.
- Click Request Indexing. Google will queue the page for recrawling, which typically takes a few hours to a few days.
- Once Google has recrawled the page, the schema errors should no longer appear in the Enhancements or Rich Results reports in GSC.
🚀 Step 4: Redeploy Schemas After Errors Clear
After Google has confirmed the errors are resolved (or after the flagged errors disappear from GSC reports), you can safely redeploy your schemas through OTTO.
- Return to OTTO in your Search Atlas dashboard and open it for your site.
- Redeploy the schemas you rolled back in Step 1, making sure the affected pages have been fully crawled by OTTO before deploying structured data to them.
- Repub
