  "question": "What structured data helps Perplexity understand a WordPress site?",
  "description": "Learn how to optimize your WordPress site for Perplexity using structured data. Implement JSON-LD schema to improve AI visibility, citation accuracy, and parsing.",
  "summary": "Perplexity relies on structured data to interpret WordPress content accurately. By implementing JSON-LD schema and monitoring citation performance with Trakkr, you can ensure your site is correctly parsed and cited by AI answer engines.",
  "answer": "To help Perplexity understand your WordPress site, you must implement standardized Schema.org vocabulary using the JSON-LD format. This allows the AI to parse your content hierarchy, FAQ sections, and breadcrumb navigation effectively. Start by deploying Article and FAQPage schema to provide clear context for AI answers. Once the markup is live, use Trakkr to monitor whether your pages are being cited in relevant Perplexity answer sets. This operational approach ensures your technical optimizations directly translate into improved AI visibility and citation accuracy, allowing you to refine your content strategy based on real-world performance data across major AI platforms.",
