Schema markup is far more common on pages cited by AI. But a new Ahrefs report found that adding it didn’t result in a clear increase in citations. Ahrefs tracked 1,885 web pages that added JSON-LD schema. Each page was matched against control pages that never added schema, and citation changes were measured across Google […]
