        "text": "Schema like FAQPage, HowTo, LocalBusiness, and Speakable is what turns your content from “human-readable” into “machine-legible” answers. Without it, voice assistants may still find you, but with far less reliability and control.\n\nThink of schema as labeling your best answers so AI tools know exactly what they are.\n\nKey factors:\n- FAQPage for general question-answer content\n- HowTo for step-by-step instructions voice can read aloud\n- LocalBusiness for location, hours, and contact data\n- Speakable for marking sections ideal for audio playback\n\nPractically, identify your most valuable Q&A and how-to content, then add schema using JSON-LD and validate via rich result testing. Start with FAQPage and LocalBusiness if you’re new to markup.\n\nIf schema feels overwhelming, an AEO platform or specialist can safely implement it while you focus on content quality.",
