According to the Google guidelines for breadcrumbs using Schema.org markup the first breadcrumbs trail should NOT be the homepage.

I tried using this markup and using the first trail as the homepage and the results were showing a webpage in SERP like this:


example.com > Home > Category > Page


"Home" was actually linked as the first trail.

But I see thousands of other websites using "Home" as the first trail in their breadcrumbs. Am I doing something wrong?

Didn't the first paragraph of your question answer it?

Are you going to follow the herd who have likely never heard about google's guidelines or are you going to follow the guidelines of the organisation you are hoping will list your site in a way they think is most effective?
