Structured Data Types
Multiple JSON-LD types (SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, Organization) unlock different rich search features and improve AI understanding of your product. SaaSalyst checks how many distinct structured data types your homepage uses, identifying opportunities to expand your search presence.
What SaaSalyst Checks
SaaSalyst parses all <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks on your homepage, extracts the @type field from each, and counts the distinct types. Two or more types earn a pass, one type triggers a warning, and zero triggers a failure.
Why This Matters
Different JSON-LD types unlock different search features. SoftwareApplication shows your product details, FAQPage displays expandable Q&A in results, Organization provides company information, and WebSite enables sitelinks search box.
Using multiple types tells search engines and AI systems more about your product from different angles. A SaaS homepage with SoftwareApplication + FAQPage + Organization schema is far more informative to both Google and AI models than one with no structured data.
This is a compounding advantage — the more types you add, the more search real estate and AI citation opportunities you create.
