SERVICE // TECHNICAL FOUNDATION

Technical Foundation & Schema Implementation

AI systems do not browse your website the way humans do. They parse structured data, interpret entity relationships, and synthesize knowledge graph entries to form recommendations. Without proper schema markup and machine-readable infrastructure, your content is invisible to the answer engines that are rapidly replacing traditional search.

Conversion Insights builds the technical foundation that makes your brand legible to AI — from comprehensive Schema.org implementation to product feed optimization for emerging agentic commerce protocols.

The Problem

Invisible to AI

68% of websites lack sufficient structured data for AI systems to accurately parse their offerings.

Without schema markup, answer engines cannot determine what you sell, where you operate, or why you are authoritative.

The consequence: when a user asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation in your category, your brand does not exist.

Schema is not decoration. It is infrastructure.

THE IMPERATIVE

Why Technical Infrastructure Matters

The shift from search engines to answer engines has fundamentally changed what "being found" means. Traditional SEO optimized for crawlers that indexed keywords. AI systems require something entirely different: machine-readable, semantically structured data that communicates meaning, relationships, and authority.

AI Needs Structure, Not Keywords

Large language models do not match keywords to pages. They build internal representations of entities and their relationships. Schema markup is how you tell AI systems what your business is, what it offers, and how it relates to the broader knowledge graph. Without this, you are asking AI to guess — and it will guess wrong, or not guess at all.

The Knowledge Graph Is the New Index

Google's Knowledge Graph, Bing's entity index, and the internal representations used by ChatGPT and Gemini all depend on structured data to establish entity identity. If your Organization schema is missing, your business has no node in the graph. If your Product schema is incomplete, your offerings cannot be compared or recommended.

Agentic Commerce Demands Feeds

The next wave is not just AI recommending brands — it is AI agents autonomously purchasing on behalf of users. These agents need standardized, real-time product feeds with pricing, availability, and specifications. The Universal Commerce Protocol is emerging as the standard. Businesses without compliant feeds will be excluded from autonomous transactions entirely.

SCHEMA VOCABULARY

Schema Types We Work With

Every business has a unique entity profile. We implement the precise combination of Schema.org types that maps your organization, products, services, and expertise into a format AI systems can parse with confidence.

01

Organization

Establishes your business as a recognized entity with name, logo, contact info, founders, and social profiles. The foundation of knowledge graph identity.

02

Product

Defines individual products with pricing, availability, reviews, specifications, and brand attribution. Essential for AI shopping agents and comparison queries.

03

Service

Maps your service offerings with descriptions, service areas, provider details, and offer catalogs. Enables AI to recommend your services for relevant queries.

04

FAQ

Structures question-and-answer content for direct extraction by AI. FAQ schema is among the most frequently parsed types by answer engines for conversational responses.

05

HowTo

Provides step-by-step instructional content in a machine-readable format. AI systems frequently cite HowTo content when users seek procedural guidance.

06

Article

Identifies authored content with publication dates, authors, and topics. Critical for establishing topical authority and citation credibility in AI models.

07

Person

Establishes individual expertise, credentials, and affiliations. Person schema connects founders and experts to their organizations, reinforcing entity authority.

08

LocalBusiness

Maps your physical presence with geo-coordinates, service areas, hours, and local attributes. Essential for location-based AI recommendations and local answer queries.

09

BreadcrumbList

Defines site hierarchy and page relationships. Helps AI systems understand content organization, topical clustering, and the relative importance of pages within your domain.

AGENTIC COMMERCE

Feed Optimization for the Age of AI Agents

The next frontier is not just AI recommending your brand — it is AI agents autonomously comparing, selecting, and purchasing on behalf of users. This requires a fundamentally different kind of product feed: real-time, comprehensive, and structured for machine consumption rather than human browsing.

We prepare your catalogs for the protocols that will define agentic commerce, ensuring your offerings are not just visible but transactable by AI systems.

Real-time pricing and availability synchronization
Complete product specification attributes (dimensions, materials, compatibility)
Standardized category taxonomy mapping
Shipping, return, and warranty policy structuring
Review and rating aggregation in feed format
Multi-currency and multi-region feed variants

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions About Schema & Technical SEO for AI

Why does schema markup matter for AI visibility?

Schema markup provides machine-readable context that AI systems use to understand what your business offers, how it relates to other entities, and whether it should be recommended. Without proper schema, your content is essentially invisible to answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Structured data transforms unstructured web content into knowledge graph entries that AI models can confidently cite and recommend. It is the difference between being a webpage and being an entity.

What is the difference between schema markup and JSON-LD?

Schema markup refers to the vocabulary (Schema.org) that defines entity types and their properties — things like Organization, Product, Service, and FAQ. JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is the implementation format recommended by Google and preferred by AI systems. It allows you to embed structured data as a script block in your HTML without modifying the visible page content. Think of Schema.org as the language and JSON-LD as the delivery mechanism. Together, they form the bridge between your content and the knowledge graph.

What is the Universal Commerce Protocol and how do I prepare for it?

The Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) is a machine-readable catalog standard that allows AI shopping agents to read your inventory, pricing, specifications, and availability without visiting your website. Preparing for UCP involves structuring your product and service feeds with comprehensive schema markup, ensuring data accuracy and real-time availability, and implementing standardized data formats that agentic commerce systems can parse autonomously. This is the infrastructure layer that enables AI agents to transact on behalf of users. Businesses that prepare now will have a significant first-mover advantage as adoption accelerates.

How is technical SEO for AI different from traditional technical SEO?

Traditional technical SEO focuses on crawlability, page speed, and indexation for search engine bots that rank pages. Technical SEO for AI goes further — it ensures your content is not just crawlable but comprehensible to large language models. This means implementing rich structured data, establishing clear entity relationships, building topical authority signals, and ensuring your content can be vectorized and embedded accurately in AI training pipelines. The goal shifts from ranking on a results page to being the recommended answer in a conversation.
