: Google SERP's not displaying target/current page in breadcrumbs I've used Google's example JSON-LD markup to display breadcrumbs in the search results (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/breadcrumbs).

I've used Google's example JSON-LD markup to display breadcrumbs in the search results (https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/breadcrumbs). Google shows breadcrumbs in the search results but the target/current page is never shown.

For example a url looks like this:
www.example.com/laptop/brand/asus

I would like Google to shows the url as a breadcrumb in the search results like this:
www.example.com › Laptop › Brand › Asus


But Google shows the breadcrumb like this:
www.example.com › Laptop › Brand


My code:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "http://schema.org",
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"item": {
"@id": "/",
"name": "Home"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop",
"name": "Laptop"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 3,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop/brand",
"name": "Brand"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 4,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop/brand/asus",
"name": "Asus"
}
}]
}
</script>


I've tested this code using Google's structured data testing tool. And everything seems fine.

In Google I can find other websites that have implemented their breadcrumbs in a similar way, and for those websites Google is showing the current page in the breadcrumbs.

Does anybody know how can I make sure that Google shows the target/current page in a breadcrumb?

*Update: this is an example of a Dutch website (not mine) for which their breadcrumb is shown with the target page in the last path of the breadcrumb:

URL:
www.kieskeurig.nl/laptop/merk/asus

Displayed in Google like this:



Their code

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context" : "http://schema.org",
"@type" : "BreadcrumbList",
"@id" : "#BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"item": {
"@id": "/",
"name": "Home"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"item": {
"@id": "/computers",
"name": "Computers"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 3,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptops_en_ultrabooks",
"name": "Laptops en ultrabooks"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 4,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop",
"name": "Laptop"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 5,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop/merk",
"name": "Merk"
}
}, {
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 6,
"item": {
"@id": "/laptop/merk/Asus",
"name": "Asus"
}
} ]
}
</script>
