structured data for AI discovery for video platforms
A practical playbook for video product marketers to improve structured data—with checks, fixes, and measurement.
Why structured data matters in video
video product 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 video, common blockers include: Case studies lack citable facts; SPA marketing site returns empty HTML; Training archives never saw the domain. Category leaders win citations when their public pages answer buyer questions more clearly than yours.

- Organization and WebSite JSON-LD consistent with on-page branding
