structured data for AI discovery for people data platforms
A practical playbook for recruiting marketers to improve structured data—with checks, fixes, and measurement.
Why structured data matters in people data
recruiting marketers cannot win AI shortlists on content alone if structured data is broken. Whether commercial pages expose accurate JSON-LD and related markup so AI systems and search engines can parse entities, products, FAQs, and organization facts.
In people data, common blockers include: Buyers ask AI assistants before visiting vendor sites; Category pages are thin or JS-only; Competitors appear in ChatGPT answers for “people data platforms” first. Incumbents and well-documented review sites often dominate AI answers until you publish crawlable comparison content.
