  "description": "Learn how to map WordPress custom fields to schema for Google AI Overviews. This guide covers technical implementation, JSON-LD injection, and performance monitoring.",
  "summary": "Mapping WordPress custom fields to schema improves content discoverability for Google AI Overviews. By programmatically injecting metadata into JSON-LD, you provide clear signals to AI crawlers, which Trakkr helps you monitor for citation and visibility success.",
  "answer": "To map WordPress custom fields to schema, you must programmatically inject your metadata into JSON-LD script blocks within your theme files. Use PHP functions like get_post_meta() to retrieve values from your custom fields and output them into the required Schema.org properties. This process ensures that Google AI Overviews can parse your specific content attributes, such as product details or FAQ content, directly from your site's source code. Once implemented, use Trakkr to verify that your structured data is effectively driving citations and improving your brand's visibility within AI-generated responses across various platforms.",
