        "text": "Structured data (schema) is critical for voice search because it tells assistants exactly what your questions, answers, locations, and services mean. Without it, bots must guess, and they’re more likely to pick cleaner competitors.\n\nFAQ schema highlights your Q&A content, LocalBusiness schema clarifies who and where you are, and other types like HowTo or Product can make specific instructions or offerings easier to read aloud. Valid implementation matters as much as choosing the right types.\n\nKey factors:\n- Which schema types map to your content (FAQ, LocalBusiness, HowTo, Product, Speakable)\n- Correct nesting and formatting of schema.org JSON-LD\n- Coverage on key pages vs. your whole site\n- Ongoing validation after content changes\n\nStart with FAQ and LocalBusiness schema on priority pages and locations, then expand to other types as needed. Use testing tools to ensure everything remains valid when you update content.\n\nThink of schema as the “labeling system” that makes your site understandable to voice assistants.",
