About Liquid Death
Founded 2017 · US
Mike Cessario (a former heavy-metal touring musician + ad creative) launched Liquid Death after noticing punk-show attendees would rather not drink Coke. The thesis: the same person who pays $4 for a craft beer because of branding will pay $2 for tallboy-can water for the same reason. Hit $1.4bn valuation in 2024 — entirely on canned still + sparkling water that costs ~$0.20/can to produce.

Notable for the schema.org audit
Liquid Death's digital footprint is a marketing showcase rather than a typical commerce stack. Their tech reflects content-led + viral marketing rather than performance-marketing optimisation.

What this Schema grade reveals
D-grade signals meaningful structural gaps in Liquid Death's storefront Schema. The most common pattern at this grade band is missing Product schema fields (offers price + currency + availability), conflicting Review schema from two apps (Loox + Judge.me both writing AggregateRating), or no BreadcrumbList — fixable in an hour of theme.liquid work.
Breakdown: 1 PDP finding, 1 homepage finding. The live tool ships a copy-paste-ready Liquid snippet for each finding — every finding is fixable in theme.liquid without installing additional apps.
Cross-check with the App Stack Detector to see which Schema-emitting apps are installed — most Schema problems on Plus tenants come from conflicting Review schema between Loox + Judge.me + the theme rather than missing apps.
