New research challenges the role of Schema in AI search rankings

AccuraCast’s latest study reveals surprising insights into the impact of schema markup on generative AI search vi.

After analysing over 2,000 prompts and 9,000 AI citations across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, our research shows that while schema markup appears widely on cited sites, its impact is not as decisive as many SEO professionals once believed.

Key points

Person schema drives authority
Limited role for other schema types
High-visibility platforms succeed without schema
Clean HTML matters

What does this mean for you?

Your business should not see schema as the missing link to boost AI search visibility. Instead, we recommend a balanced approach: implement schema where relevant, but prioritise author visibility, content authority, and technical clarity.
