        "text": "Structured data on your website (like LocalBusiness and FAQ schema) helps Alexa read and understand your information directly, instead of relying only on third-party listings.\n\nIt’s not mandatory, but it can give you a meaningful edge.\n\nKey factors:\n- LocalBusiness schema can describe your name, address, phone, hours, and services\n- FAQ schema lets Alexa answer common questions using your on-site content\n- Structured data must match your directory NAP and descriptions to avoid conflicts\n- Implementation can be done via plugins, generators, or manual JSON-LD snippets\n\nStart with basic LocalBusiness schema and one well-crafted FAQ section, then validate your markup with available testing tools before expecting benefits.\nThink of schema as making your website “speak machine” so Alexa can understand it more reliably.",

Add LocalBusiness schema for your name/address/phone/hours and FAQ schema for common questions, making sure it matches your directory data. This gives Alexa a direct, machine-readable source for your business info and answers, improving understanding and recommendations."
