About this tool


HowTo markup describes a process end-to-end: what you need, how long it takes and the ordered steps. Even where Google has trimmed visual HowTo results, the structured clarity helps search engines (and AI answer engines) understand and cite your tutorial correctly.


Steps in the schema must exist in the visible guide, in the same order — schema is a description of the page, not a replacement for it.


Frequently asked questions


Do the steps need titles?
No — plain text steps work. Titles (before the | character) make the schema richer and the guide easier to scan.


What time format is used?
Minutes convert to ISO 8601 (PT30M) automatically.


Is my data sent anywhere?
No — everything is generated in your browser.
