Schema Markup: How Perth Businesses Get Read and Cited by AI

Your website is being read by machines now, not just people, and those machines decide what to say about your business before a customer ever sees you. If ChatGPT, Grok, Claude or Google's AI Overview cannot read your facts cleanly, it names a competitor it can. This week we unpack schema markup, the small piece of code that hands your business details straight to the AI, and exactly how Perth businesses use it to get understood, trusted and cited. What you'll learn in this episode: * What schema markup (structured data) actually is, and why it went from a cosmetic SEO bonus to part of the entry ticket for AI citation * The three schema mistakes almost every WA business is making, including the one that can get you quietly dropped * A 7-step framework to mark up your business the right way, from LocalBusiness to FAQ and Review schema * The 2-minute Rich Results Test that shows you exactly what the machine can currently read about your business * A real-world Perth example of a service business going from invisible to named in AI answers in about two months If this helped, follow The All Marketing Podcast so you never miss an episode, and share it with a business owner who needs a clearer path through the marketing noise.
