Structured Data
Standardized code formats (like Schema.org markup) that help search engines and AI models understand the content and context of web pages.
Structured Data refers to standardized markup formats, primarily Schema.org vocabulary implemented as JSON-LD, that provide explicit context about web content to search engines and AI systems. By adding structured data to web pages, brands communicate the meaning of their content in a machine-readable format.
In the context of AEO, structured data plays a critical role because AI models use it as a signal for understanding entities, relationships, and factual claims. Proper implementation of Organization, Product, FAQ, Article, and other schema types helps AI systems correctly identify and represent brand information.
Structured data also supports rich results in traditional search, Knowledge Panel accuracy, and entity recognition across AI platforms, making it a foundational element of both SEO and AEO strategy.
