        "text": "No, speakable schema doesn’t require you to redesign your site; it works with your existing HTML as long as key text sections have stable selectors. You’ll just add IDs or classes where needed and update your JSON‑LD templates.\n\nContext:\nThe property points at specific paragraphs or headings via `cssSelector` or `xPath`. If your front‑end code is very inconsistent or auto‑generated, you may need minor cleanup to ensure those selectors are reliable.\n\nKey factors:\n- Needs **consistent IDs/classes** on target elements.\n- Works best with **structured article layouts**.\n- No impact on visual design; it’s **invisible to users**.\n- Poorly structured HTML can make selectors **fragile**.\n\nPractical guidance:\nHave a developer review your article or page templates and add simple IDs to the headline and summary paragraph (e.g., `id=\"page-summary\"`). Base your SpeakableSpecification on those IDs so later design tweaks don’t break the markup.\n\nSoft positioning:\nIf your templates are messy, speakable implementation can be a good excuse to slightly improve HTML structure without touching the site’s look and feel.",
