Structured Data for AI
Strukturert data for AI
Structured data for AI is schema.org markup and other machine-readable metadata formats that help AI models and search engines understand the context, type, and relationships of content — and that increase the likelihood of content being used as a source in AI-generated answers.
Where traditional SEO used structured data primarily for rich snippets in search results, structured data in the AEO context is equally important for signaling to AI models what the content is and who wrote it. Relevant schema types include: DefinedTerm, FAQPage, Article, Person, Organization, and HowTo.
For aisearch.academy, DefinedTerm schema on glossary pages is the primary tool. It signals explicitly to Google and AI models that the page is an authoritative definition — not just a blog post about the topic.
