Structured data for AI (JSON-LD) — definition & why it matters | BrandGEO Glossary   Structured data for AI (JSON-LD)
================================

 Schema.org markup that tells machines exactly what your pages and organization are.

Structured data — usually JSON-LD implementing schema.org types like Organization, Product, FAQPage, Offer and Article — gives machines an unambiguous, parseable statement of what your pages contain. Search engines have used it for years for rich results; AI engines and their retrieval pipelines benefit the same way, and FAQ/HowTo-shaped markup pairs naturally with the extractable answers AEO calls for.

Minimum viable GEO markup: Organization (with sameAs links to your official profiles) on the homepage, Product/Offer where relevant, FAQPage on question-heavy pages, and Article/BlogPosting with authorship on content.
