What is Structured Data Quality?

Structured Data Quality measures how well your website's schema markup helps AI systems understand your content. It evaluates coverage (how many pages have schema), accuracy (is it error-free), and richness (how detailed is the markup).

Why is structured data important for AI search?

Structured data is the language AI systems use to understand content context. Without proper schema markup, AI may misinterpret your content or skip it entirely. Rich schema helps AI categorize your content correctly and cite it accurately.

Which schema types are most important for AI search?

Critical schema types include: Organization (homepage), FAQPage (support pages), Product (product pages), Article (blog posts), HowTo (tutorials), and LocalBusiness (contact pages). Start with Organization and FAQPage for maximum AI impact.

How do I test my structured data?

Use Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) and Schema.org Validator to test your markup. These tools identify errors, warnings, and suggest improvements. Test every page type on your site.

What's a good Structured Data Quality score?

Scores of 90-100 indicate comprehensive schema coverage. 70-89 is well-implemented. 45-69 indicates basic coverage needing improvement. Below 45 means missing or broken schema requiring immediate attention.

Why Structured Data is Non-Negotiable

Structured Data Quality measures how well your schema markup helps AI understand your content. It's the foundation of AI-readable content.

The AI Understanding Gap: Without structured data, AI systems must guess what your content is about. With proper schema, you're explicitly telling AI: "This is a product, these are the features, this is the price." Clarity leads to citations.
