JSON-LD Schema Engine
Generate Article, FAQPage, and HowTo structured data automatically. Make your WordPress content comprehensible to AI search engines.
Structured data that AI engines actually understand
Three schema types that power AI answers
AI search engines use structured data to understand and cite your content. SummitCite generates it automatically.
Article schema for blog posts
Automatically generates JSON-LD Article schema with headline, author, datePublished, dateModified, and image. Helps AI engines understand your content structure and cite it correctly.
FAQPage schema for Q&A content
Detects FAQ sections on your pages and generates FAQPage schema with question/answer pairs. This is the #1 schema type AI engines use to construct answers.
HowTo schema for step-by-step guides
Identifies tutorial and guide content, generates HowTo schema with steps, tools, and time estimates. Perfect for AI engines that answer “how to” questions.
Smart detection that doesn’t break your SEO stack
DOMDocument parsing for accurate content extraction. Conflict detection for 6 SEO plugins.
Accurate content parsing
Uses PHP’s DOMDocument extension to parse page HTML and extract content structure. More reliable than regex-based approaches for detecting FAQs, steps, and article metadata.
Conflict detection with SEO plugins
Detects when Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, or Slim SEO are already generating schema. Avoids duplicate JSON-LD output by delegating when appropriate.
Automatic generation on save
Schema is regenerated automatically every time you publish or update a post. No manual marking up, no shortcodes, no custom fields. Just write your content and SummitCite handles the rest.
Schema generation in three steps
Fully automatic. No manual markup required.
Detect content type
SummitCite uses DOMDocument to analyze your post HTML and determine if it’s an Article, FAQ, or HowTo based on heading structure and content patterns.
Generate JSON-LD
Based on detected content type, the appropriate schema.org JSON-LD is generated with all required and recommended properties extracted from your content.
Validate & inject
Generated schema is validated against schema.org specs and injected into the page head. SEO plugin conflicts are checked and resolved automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about JSON-LD schema generation in SummitCite.
What is JSON-LD and why does it matter for AI search?
JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data) is a structured data format that helps search engines and AI systems understand your content. When AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity generate answers, they prioritize content with proper schema markup because it’s machine-readable and unambiguous.
Which schema types does SummitCite generate?
SummitCite generates three schema.org types: Article (for blog posts and news), FAQPage (for Q&A content), and HowTo (for step-by-step guides). These are the three most commonly cited schema types by AI search engines.
Will this conflict with Yoast or Rank Math schema?
No. SummitCite detects when Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or 4 other SEO plugins are already generating schema for a page. In that case, SummitCite delegates schema generation to the SEO plugin to avoid duplicate JSON-LD output. You can see the delegation status in the Conflict Detector dashboard.
How does DOMDocument parsing work?
SummitCite uses PHP’s built-in DOMDocument extension to parse your post’s HTML content. This allows it to accurately detect content structures like FAQ blocks (Q&A pairs), HowTo steps (ordered lists with headings), and Article metadata (author, date, image) — much more reliably than regex-based approaches.
Can I manually edit the generated schema?
Yes. While SummitCite generates schema automatically, you can override specific properties via the post editor. Custom values take precedence over auto-detected values. You can also disable schema generation per-post if needed.
