Website Schema & AI-Search Optimization

Last updated May 5, 20265 min read

Google Maps still matters. ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity matter more every quarter. SAIGE optimizes for both — not just on your Google Business Profile, but on your own website, where the AI-search engines actually crawl for citation candidates.

Schema markup SAIGE generates

Schema is the structured-data layer Google reads to understand what a page is about. SAIGE auto-generates the schema types that move the needle for local SEO and feeds them as a single JSON-LD block ready to paste on your site:

  • LocalBusiness — your name, address, phone, hours, accepted payments, geo-coordinates
  • Service — one entry per service you offer, each with its own description and price range
  • Review and AggregateRating — pulled from your live Google reviews, refreshed continuously
  • FAQPage — auto-generated from the questions your customers actually ask
  • BreadcrumbList — for navigation context on every internal page

Adding the schema to your site

  • WordPress — install the SAIGE plugin from Settings → Website. Schema injects automatically on every page.
  • Webflow — paste the schema script into the global <head> embed in Site Settings → Custom Code
  • Squarespace — Settings → Advanced → Code Injection → Header — paste the SAIGE block
  • Generic / custom site — copy the block from Settings → Website and paste before the closing </head> tag

AI-search optimization

ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity cite local businesses based on signals their crawlers find in three places: your Google Business Profile content, your website's schema-rich content, and review-density across third-party sources. SAIGE feeds all three. The dashboard's AI-Search Index pill shows whether each major model has indexed your business and how often it cites you in test queries from your service area.

Auto-generated FAQ

SAIGE pools the questions customers actually ask in your reviews, your Google Q&A panel, and your category's known top queries. It writes answers in your voice and ships them as a FAQ block your site can render — with FAQPage schema attached for rich-result eligibility.

Tracking AI-search performance

From Reports → AI Search, you'll see a panel for each major model showing your citation count, your share of voice for category queries in your area, and the queries where you're being surfaced. Treat this like a second heatmap — it's where customers will be searching by 2027.
