Hi @reedus33,
Not really redundant, they just overlap in one spot. Schema Pro is a dedicated structured-data plugin, while SEO Engine is a full SEO suite (titles, meta, sitemaps, redirects, analytics, AI tools) that also outputs the essential schema automatically: Article for posts, WebPage for pages, Product for WooCommerce (offers, ratings, reviews), plus Organization and breadcrumbs. That covers Google’s rich results.
The one thing to avoid is running both with schema enabled at the same time, since you’d get two sets of JSON-LD on the page, which can cause validation warnings or confuse crawlers.
So two clean options. If SEO Engine’s built-in schema covers your content, you don’t need Schema Pro and that’s one less plugin. If you rely on Schema Pro for advanced types (recipes, events, services, custom mappings), keep it but switch off SEO Engine’s automatic schema in its settings so they don’t double up. You still get everything else SEO Engine does.
For context, Google’s 2026 guidance is that schema isn’t required to show in AI results, so we keep ours lean and focused on rich results.
I hope it helps! 😊
Jordy.
