Implement JSON-LD structured data (Organization, Service, Product, FAQPage) on key pages. Schema markup helps AI engines extract and cite your content accurately.

Add Organization schema with consistent name, address, phone (NAP). Include sameAs links to social profiles and authoritative directories to strengthen entity recognition.

Show direct use, testing, implementation, or lived experience with concrete observations, examples, screenshots, and lessons learned.
