Gemini Visibility
Does Gemini trust structured data?
Short answer
Structured data helps Gemini understand websites more clearly, but there is no public evidence that schema markup alone guarantees citations or visibility. Structured data works best when combined with high-quality content and strong entity signals.

Detailed answer
Structured data provides machine-readable information about a webpage, organization, product, article, or FAQ.
Google has long used structured data to help interpret content, and Gemini appears to benefit from websites that clearly communicate their structure and entities.
However, schema markup should not be viewed as a visibility shortcut. Structured data can improve understanding, but the quality, relevance, and authority of the underlying content remain far more important.
