Structured Data & GEO Readiness Checker
Paste a URL to scan its Schema.org JSON-LD for validity, then get a score for how well that markup sets the page up to be cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

AI answer engines still read your rendered text — but structured data is how they verify what they read before deciding to cite it.
FAQPage & HowTo
The two highest-leverage types for GEO. Their question/answer and step shape map almost directly onto how a chatbot or AI Overview formats a cited response.
Article Authorship & Dates
author and datePublished are exactly the E-E-A-T and freshness signals AI engines weigh before trusting a claim enough to cite it.
Entity Disambiguation
sameAs links on Organization/Person schema tell an AI system this is one consistent entity across the web, not a guess.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does structured data actually influence AI Overviews and chatbot citations?
AI answer engines still primarily read rendered text, but valid JSON-LD gives them a fast, unambiguous way to confirm entities, authorship, and facts — exactly what a system deciding whether to cite you as a source is trying to verify. Pages with clean, complete markup are easier for a model to extract a confident answer from.
Is having any structured data enough, or does the type matter?
The type matters a lot. FAQPage and HowTo schema map almost directly onto how AI answer engines format responses, so they carry outsized GEO value. A generic WebPage or bare Organization block with no supporting detail does far less work.
What is the difference between structured data being present and being valid?
Present means a <script type="application/ld+json"> block exists somewhere on the page. Valid means it actually parses as JSON and declares a real @type. A block that fails to parse is invisible to crawlers even though a human glancing at the page source would assume it "has" structured data.
