FREE TOOL / NO ACCOUNT / RUNS ON THE PAGE YOU GIVE IT
What structured data can an AI answer engine use here?
Paste a URL. We read the JSON-LD your server actually sends and answer three questions a machine has to answer before it can cite you: who publishes this, what this page is, and which specific facts it may state. Then we show, field by field, what is filled in for FAQPage, HowTo, Product, Article and Organization.
Free, no account. We read the HTML your server sends, with no JavaScript executed, which is what most AI crawlers receive.
Why an answer engine reads this differently from a search engine
A search engine uses structured data to decide how to draw your result. An answer engine uses it to decide what it is allowed to say. Those needs diverge in one specific place: identity. A rich result does not care whether your Organization node has sameAs links, because it already knows which site it crawled. An answer engine assembling a sentence about your category has to work out that the company mentioned in three places is one company, and sameAs is the field that says so.
The second divergence is connectedness. Facts stated in unconnected blocks are facts with no owner. An @graph that ties the page to its author and its publisher is what turns “this article says X” into “according to you, X”, and only the second one gets you named.
If what you want is Google’s required-field checklist for rich results, that is a different job and our schema validator does it. Run both: they disagree in useful ways.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS TOOL
- How is this different from a schema validator?
- A validator asks whether Google will show a rich result. This asks a different question: can a machine work out who publishes this page, what kind of thing the page is, and which specific facts it is allowed to state about you. Those overlap but they are not the same. A page can pass every required-field check and still leave an answer engine unable to tell that the article and the organisation belong to each other.
- Why does sameAs matter so much?
- Because it is how entity resolution happens. Without sameAs, your website, your company's LinkedIn page and your Wikipedia entry are three unrelated things as far as a machine is concerned. With it, mentions of you elsewhere can be tied back to you here. Being cited by name requires being resolvable as a name.
- What does 'the nodes form one connected graph' mean?
- Structured data can be several separate script blocks that never reference each other, or one graph where the page node points at the author node which points at the organisation node, usually via @id inside an @graph. The second one lets an engine attribute the content to you. The first one is a set of unrelated statements that happen to sit on the same page.
- You found no structured data but I can see it in my browser.
- Then it is being injected by JavaScript after the page loads, almost always through a tag manager. We read the raw HTML your server sends because that is what most AI crawlers receive. If your markup only exists after a script runs, a large share of the crawlers reading you never see it.
- Should I add markup for types my page is not?
- No. Markup that misdescribes a page is worse than no markup, because it teaches a machine something false about you and that is harder to undo than an absence. If the page is not a product, do not add Product. The score here is deliberately weighted so that having one honest answer-bearing type beats having five invented ones.
- Does this cost anything or need an account?
- No. It is one HTTP request to your public URL and our own parsing of what comes back. No third-party data provider is involved, so there is nothing to bill. It is rate limited to 10 checks an hour per address.
A TOOL CHECKS ONCE. SEOBUILDER KEEPS WATCH.
We can watch this for you.
Structured data breaks quietly. A template change drops the publisher node, a tag manager stops firing, one trailing comma throws a whole block away, and nothing tells you. We re-check yours on a schedule and say the day it changed, alongside the thing this page cannot measure: whether AI answers name you, and who they name instead.
