  "question": "Should I use Review schema on WordPress to influence Google AI Overviews summaries?",
  "description": "Learn how to implement Review schema on WordPress effectively. Discover why structured data matters for AI visibility and how to monitor your actual citations.",
  "summary": "Review schema helps machines parse your content, but it is not a direct ranking signal for Google AI Overviews. You must monitor actual citations to understand your true AI visibility and performance.",
  "answer": "Implementing Review schema on WordPress provides machine-readable context that helps search engines understand your content sentiment and ratings. While this structured data is a best practice for technical SEO, it does not function as a direct ranking signal for Google AI Overviews. AI models prioritize content relevance, authority, and user intent over raw markup. To influence AI visibility, you must move beyond schema implementation and focus on tracking whether your pages are actually being cited in AI-generated answers. Use tools like Trakkr to monitor your brand's presence across major AI platforms and identify gaps in your current citation strategy compared to your competitors.",
