        "text": "For GEO, schema markup is non‑negotiable: it tells generative engines what your content is, who wrote it, and how different pieces relate. At minimum, you should implement Organization, Article, and FAQ schema on relevant pages.\n\nWithout schema, AI tools have to guess structure and authority, which makes your content less likely to be cited as a trusted source.\n\nKey factors:\n- Organization schema to define your brand and basic entity data.\n- Article/BlogPosting schema for editorial content with clear authorship.\n- FAQPage and HowTo schema where you answer specific questions or give steps.\n- Keep JSON‑LD clean, valid, and consistent across pages.\n\nStart by adding Organization schema site‑wide and Article schema to key content, then layer FAQPage schema onto pages that already contain question‑answer blocks. Use a validator to catch syntax errors before deploying broadly.\n\nRobust schema quietly boosts your perceived authority with generative engines, especially in competitive topics.",
