  "description": "Learn how to debug schema errors in WordPress to improve your visibility in Google AI Overviews. Follow these technical steps to validate and fix structured data.",
  "summary": "Fixing schema errors in WordPress requires systematic validation of JSON-LD syntax and plugin configurations. By ensuring your structured data is correctly injected and matches visible content, you improve the likelihood of being cited in Google AI Overviews and other answer engines.",
