FAQ
Why is JSON-LD the recommended format?
Google officially recommends JSON-LD over Microdata or RDFa. JSON-LD separates markup from HTML content, is easier to maintain, and less prone to errors.
Does structured data improve rankings?
Not directly, but it enables rich snippets (stars, FAQs, prices in search results) which significantly improve CTR. It also helps AI platforms cite your content more accurately.
What schema types should I implement first?
Start with Organization (homepage), Article (blog posts), FAQ (FAQ pages), and Product (product pages). These have the highest impact on rich snippets.
