Structured Data in 2026: GEO vs Traditional SEO
I’ll show you how traditional SEO uses schema to unlock rich snippets, product enhancements, FAQ expansions, and cleaner brand knowledge, while GEO uses that same markup to help AI systems understand entities, relationships, and context. We’ll look at where Article, Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ, HowTo, and Review schema fit on both sides of the fence—rankings and AI visibility.
You’ll see practical examples of “dual‑purpose” structured data: how one implementation can boost CTR in the SERPs and also make your content easier for AI Overviews, chat engines, and other generative systems to quote. I’ll walk you through how to prioritize which templates to mark up first and how to validate everything with tools like Google’s Rich Results Test so nothing breaks silently.
If you’ve been treating schema as a nice‑to‑have add‑on, this session will help you reposition it as a core piece of your 2026 strategy for both rankings and generative exposure. You’ll walk away with a simple checklist for upgrading your structured data so every key page on your site is working twice as hard—once for traditional SEO, and once for GEO.
