Fix: Invalid object type for field "address"

“Invalid object type for field "address"”

What this means

Your address is present but formatted as plain text or the wrong type. Google expects a PostalAddress object, not a string, for full eligibility.

Why it happens

Hand-written JSON-LD or an older plugin that outputs address as a single string.

How to fix it manually

Replace "address": "123 Main St, Town" with a nested object: {"@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "123 Main St", "addressLocality": "Town", ...}.

Honest note: structured data is not a ranking factor. Fixing this error restores eligibility and correctness — it doesn't boost rankings, and nobody can honestly promise you that it does.
