Answers & Discussion
Schema is not magic, but it helps clarify what a page is. For reviews, products, FAQs, recipes, local businesses, and Q&A, structured data can support search engines in understanding the page. I would not expect schema alone to rank a weak page, but I would not ignore it either.
Technical SEO still matters because AI search does not help if your pages cannot be crawled, understood, or trusted. Indexing problems, duplicate pages, broken canonicals, slow templates, and messy internal links can quietly kill a site. Content gets attention, but technical issues decide whether that content has a fair chance.
