Schema Markup
Structured data for AI citation eligibility.
Schema markup (JSON-LD) is the highest-impact, lowest-effort GEO action available. Adding schema to pages that AI models already cite from your domain increases the likelihood of Tier 1 citations.
Why schema matters for AI visibility
AI models parse structured data when indexing content. Pages with FAQPage, HowTo, and Organization schema are more likely to be:
- Retrieved as source citations in AI responses
- Cited at Tier 1 (primary recommendation)
- Represented accurately (schema provides ground truth for facts)
A Schema Gap action appears when your URL is cited in 2+ tracked prompts but has no schema markup detected.
FAQPage schema
Use when: a page answers multiple questions related to your tracked prompts.
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is Genlytic?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Genlytic is a GEO platform that tracks and improves your brand's presence in AI-generated answers."
}
}
]
}
Organization schema
Use on: your homepage and About page. Provides ground truth for AI models about your brand.
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Genlytic",
"url": "https://genlytic.app",
"description": "GEO platform for AI search visibility.",
"foundingDate": "2024",
"sameAs": [
"https://twitter.com/genlytic",
"https://linkedin.com/company/genlytic"
]
}
HowTo schema
Use when: a page explains a process or multi-step workflow.
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "HowTo",
"name": "How to track AI visibility",
"step": [
{ "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Add your brand domain to Genlytic." },
{ "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Add prompts your customers ask AI engines." },
{ "@type": "HowToStep", "text": "Run your first scan." }
]
}
BreadcrumbList schema
Use on: all non-homepage pages. Helps AI models understand site structure.
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [
{ "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://genlytic.app" },
{ "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Docs", "item": "https://genlytic.app/docs" }
]
}
Implementation
Add JSON-LD blocks to your page <head> section:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{ ... your schema here ... }
</script>
You can add multiple schema blocks on the same page. Use the Webflow integration to push schema directly from Genlytic without manual edits.
Validation
Test your schema at search.google.com/test/rich-results. All four schema types above are supported by the Rich Results Test.
