Does schema markup improve rankings?

Not directly. It makes your page eligible for rich results and helps search engines and AI answer engines understand what the page is about, which affects click-through and citation rather than position itself.

Which schema type should a vacation rental use?

VacationRental is the specific type for an individual short-term rental property. If you manage properties as a business, use LocalBusiness for the company itself and VacationRental for each property listing page.

Where do I put the JSON-LD?

Paste the whole block into the of the page it describes. It can also go in the body and Google will still read it, but the head is the convention.

How do I check my schema is valid?

Run the page through Google's Rich Results Test and the Schema.org validator. Watch specifically for the same schema type appearing twice on one page, which usually happens when a plugin already emits it and you paste a second copy.

Fields you leave blank are omitted rather than emitted empty, because a present-but-blank property is worse for you than an absent one. Before publishing, run the page through Google’s Rich Results Test, and check that your CMS or SEO plugin is not already emitting the same schema type — two copies of one type on a page is the most common validation error.
