JSON-LD works by embedding structured information directly into the HTML of a page in a format AI systems can easily parse
Markup creation. Writing JSON-LD code that describes the page content and entities.
Embedding. Placing the JSON-LD script in the
or of the webpage.AI parsing. AI crawlers read and interpret the structured data.
Entity understanding. AI builds a clear picture of your brand, products, or services.
Usage in answers. AI uses structured information to generate more accurate responses.
