Structured Data for ChatGPT Citations

Structured data labels what your page is about in a format machines read directly. It does not write your answers, but it helps ChatGPT understand them, which supports accurate references.

We build this markup into every SEO for ChatGPT engagement, because clean structure makes it easier to get cited in ChatGPT with the right facts attached.

What structured data does

Structured data, usually written as schema markup, describes your content in a standard vocabulary. It tells a machine that a block of text is a question, an answer, a product or a business, removing guesswork.

Schema types that help

A handful of schema types do most of the work for citation. Match the type to the page rather than adding markup for its own sake.

Schema typeBest forWhy it helps
FAQPageQuestion and answer pagesLabels each answer clearly
ArticleGuides and blog postsMarks author, date and topic
OrganizationAbout and contact pagesConfirms business identity
LocalBusinessLocation pagesStates name, address and area served

Common mistakes to avoid

Markup that does not match the visible content does more harm than good. Keep schema accurate, keep it current and never describe something the page does not actually show.

Validate your markup before you publish. Broken or mismatched schema can be ignored entirely, wasting the effort.

Frequently asked questions

Can you guarantee a citation inside ChatGPT?

No one can guarantee a specific citation because the engine decides what to reference for each prompt. We optimise the factors ChatGPT rewards, clear answers, structured data and credible sources, which lift the odds of being cited.
