Schema Generator

Generate structured data markup optimized for AI Overview visibility.

Overview

The Schema Generator creates JSON-LD structured data designed to help search engines and AI models understand your content more effectively. Well-implemented structured data makes it easier for AI systems to extract facts, relationships, and key information from your pages — increasing the likelihood of being cited in AI Overviews.

Supported Schema Types

Citatra supports generating structured data for the following schema types:

  • FAQPage — for pages with question-and-answer content
  • HowTo — for tutorials, guides, and step-by-step instructions
  • Article — for blog posts, news articles, and editorial content
  • Product — for product pages with pricing, availability, and reviews
  • LocalBusiness — for location-based businesses with address and contact details
  • Organization — for company-level information including logo, social profiles, and contact points

How to Use

  1. Select a page from your tracked URLs or enter a new URL
  2. Choose a schema type that matches the page's content
  3. Review the pre-filled fields — Citatra analyzes the page and populates fields automatically where possible
  4. Customize the output — edit any fields to ensure accuracy and completeness
  5. Copy the JSON-LD — paste the generated markup into your page's <head> section or deploy via Google Tag Manager

Best Practices

  • Use FAQPage schema for pages that answer common questions — these align naturally with AI Overview queries
  • Use HowTo schema for tutorials and process-oriented content
  • Keep structured data consistent with visible page content — mismatches can result in penalties
  • Validate your markup with the Google Rich Results Test after implementation
  • Update structured data whenever page content changes significantly

AI Overview Optimization

Structured data helps AI models parse your content with greater precision. When an AI system encounters well-structured JSON-LD, it can more confidently extract specific facts, attribute information to your domain, and determine whether your content answers a given query. This doesn't replace quality content, but it removes friction from the extraction process.

ℹ️ Info

Schema markup doesn't guarantee AI Overview citations, but it helps AI models parse your content more accurately.
