Hey everyone, this might be a very out-of-context question, so please bear with me.

I was actually trying to understand schemas and how they work. Similar to WordPress, do we need to install an additional plugin, or are the native Discourse functionalities enough for this?

Also, in the search console, I can see this:

 ![A report shows that every type of enhancement is valid, with a green arrow indicating upward trends for both breadcrumbs and discussion forum types. (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/0/b/60bb1dd9cc6f3d490806adf1023a5871936d5adb.png)

Though, the company has around 14,000 topics, and the breadcrumbs/discussion forums show 189. So, is this just an enhancement, or what exactly does this mean?

My major intention behind this is to get a proper search result for the community, like a knowledge graph and all. Though, from what I know, it might take a long time and a lot of backlinks before it’s possible. Also, a search result like this:

Which is possible due to the schema structure.

So, does Discourse offer an additional plugin for this, or is it natively configured for it?
