Structured data provides machine-readable context about a webpage.
Schema markup can identify whether a page represents an organization, article, product, FAQ, event, review, or other entity type. This helps systems interpret content more accurately.
Structured data alone does not guarantee citations or recommendations, but it can improve understanding when combined with high-quality content and strong entity signals.
