Do you need special schema for Google AI features?

Quick answer

Google’s AI optimization guide says there is no special schema required for AI features in Search. Still add accurate JSON-LD where it helps clarity: FAQPage, Product, Organization. Every field must match visible text. Schema does not replace substantive on-page copy.

What is the visible-text rule?

If a certification is not written in HTML shoppers see, do not inject it only in JSON-LD. Align FAQ questions with on-page headings.

How should eco product schema differ?

Use the product schema guide for materials attributes that match the PDP table. Skip aspirational claims.

Why will schema not save a thin page?

Google’s spam policies still apply. Scaled FAQ stubs without proof are risky. Publish first-hand answers instead.
