How to Use Schema Markup to Get Featured in AI Search

Schema markup affects AI search visibility but not the way most practitioners assume. It works through Google's Knowledge Graph pipeline, not direct LLM parsing.

How to Optimize Content for ChatGPT

Your content ranks on Google. Your SEO reports look fine. And your organic traffic keeps dropping. You're not alone and it's not your fault. Semrush's AI search traffic study found that ChatGPT cites webpages from Google positions 21+ nearly 90% of the time.

Content that isn't retrievable in vector space doesn't get cited. It's that direct.
