SEO
One-Sentence Conclusion
At minimum, deploy Organization + WebSite + page-level FAQPage/Article on your corporate website — Schema is the machine-readable layer that helps search engines and AI understand "who you are" and "what this page answers." Missing it leads to slower indexing and poor snippet extraction.

FAQ
Q: Can Schema boost rankings?
A: It doesn't directly rank, but it improves understanding and snippet extraction, indirectly benefiting SEO/AEO/GEO.
Q: Are WordPress plugins enough?
A: They suffice but can be redundant; for self-built Next.js sites, we recommend centralized management (as done on this site).
Q: Do we need LocalBusiness?
A: You can add it if you have physical stores; for pure B2B remote delivery, Organization is sufficient.
Q: How to do it on Shopify?
A: Inject via theme or app; be careful to deduplicate with the theme's built-in Schema.
Q: Who can audit our website's Schema?
A: GULINGLE SEO/GEO Services include technical audit items.
