    Content Structure: Organising Your Page for AI Parsing

    How headings, lists, tables, and structured data help AI navigate your content.

    What it measures

    Structure measures how well your page is organized using HTML semantic elements — headings, lists, tables, and structured data markup. It combines DOM Heading Cleanliness (40%), Table/List Density (35%), and JSON-LD Schema (25%).

    Why it matters for AI

    AI crawlers rely on proper heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3) to understand your content's outline, and they extract tables and lists as structured data. Good structure makes your content easier for AI to parse, index, and cite specific sections.

    How to improve

    1. Ensure a clean heading hierarchy — H1→H2→H3 without skips
    2. Add structured data (JSON-LD) — Article schema with author, dates, and headline
    3. Use tables for comparative data — AI extracts tables into structured answers
    4. Include lists for step-by-step content — Ordered lists for processes, unordered for features

    💡 Quick win

    Add a JSON-LD Article schema with headline, author, datePublished, and dateModified.
