Schema Markup Overview
Schema markup (also known as structured data) is code that you add to your pages to help search engines and AI systems understand your content better. It provides explicit context about entities, relationships, and content types that might otherwise require inference.
Why Schema Matters for AI SEO
AI systems like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity use structured data to validate and enrich their understanding of your content. Pages with proper schema markup are more likely to be cited accurately and featured prominently in AI-generated responses.
What is Schema.org?
Schema.org is a collaborative vocabulary created by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Yandex. It provides a standardized set of types and properties for describing content on the web.
JSON-LD
JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data. The recommended format by Google.
✓ Easy to implement, doesn't mix with HTML, easy to maintain
Microdata
HTML attributes embedded directly in page content.
✓ Visible in source, tied to content, good for CMS
RDFa
Resource Description Framework in Attributes.
✓ Flexible, extensible, works with multiple vocabularies
