Structured data
Structured data is page information organized in a standard, machine-readable format so search engines and AI systems can understand what the content means and how its parts relate.

On the web, structured data usually means labeling page content with a recognized vocabulary, most often Schema.org, so machines can reliably pick out entities like products, articles, events, and reviews instead of inferring them from raw text. It turns a wall of words into facts a search engine can trust.
Structured data is the general idea; schema markup written in JSON-LD is the usual way to implement it. For a Shopify store, it lets Google tie a product's name, price, availability, and ratings into one clear record, the kind it can surface as a rich snippet.
Clean structured data also shapes how AI answer engines read and cite your pages, which matters more every year. Seokai generates the structured data Shopify pages need so both search engines and AI systems interpret them correctly.
