# Enable Google Structured data types

## Activate the schema metabox

To do that, go to **SEO** main menu then **PRO**.

Check the **iOS** toggle associated with **Structured Data Types** tab.

Check **Enable Structured Data Types metabox for your posts, pages and custom post types** and click **Save changes**.

A new metabox will now be displayed when editing a post/page/post type to markup your content, and a new Schemas menu will appear under SEO menu.

**Fill** all the fields correctly.

**Save** your post.
