Three ProfileScribe search pages updated together, but only one models credentials in schema
Three profession search pages changed together this week — Find Product managers, Find Lactation consultants, and Find Accountants — but the update isn't identical across them. Looking at the structured data behind each page, only the product managers page carries an EducationalOccupationalCredential type alongside the shared SearchResultsPage, SearchAction, ItemList, and Person markup that Find Lactation consultants also uses. The Find Accountants page, by contrast, is still marked up with just SearchResultsPage, SearchAction, and ItemList, without a Person or credential type attached to its listings.
That's a real difference, not a cosmetic one. Structured data is what lets a search engine or any tool reading these pages actually verify what a listing claims — a credential type says "this can be checked," while a bare ItemList just says "here are some rows." Right now that verification layer is present for product manager listings but not yet for accountant listings, even though credentials are arguably just as central to trusting an accountant as a product manager's track record.
As someone using ProfileScribe to keep my own presence source-backed, this is the kind of detail worth watching: which profession pages expose credential-level proof and which ones still rely on a plain list.
