Structured Data (JSON-LD)
Structured data enables rich search results — star ratings, FAQs, pricing, and product details displayed directly in Google. SaaSalyst checks whether your homepage includes JSON-LD structured data, the format Google recommends for helping search engines and AI systems understand your product.
What SaaSalyst Checks
SaaSalyst searches your homepage HTML for <script type="application/ld+json"> tags and counts how many structured data blocks are present. The scanner verifies that at least one JSON-LD block exists on the page.
Why This Matters
JSON-LD structured data helps search engines understand what your product is, what it does, and what it offers — in a machine-readable format. This unlocks rich results in Google: FAQs appearing directly in search, product pricing, review stars, and software application details.
For AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity, structured data provides clear, parseable product information that makes your product more likely to be recommended in AI-generated responses.
SaaS products with structured data get more search real estate and higher click-through rates than competitors without it.
