Common mistakes to avoid
- Using generic questions ("What are your hours?") instead of buying-intent questions ("How much does the procedure cost?")
- Nesting FAQPage inside another schema type — it must be a top-level @type
- Writing answers longer than 300 words — AI systems prefer concise, direct answers
Why this helps ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your Dental Implants page
Let AI extract direct answers from your service pages. When a patient asks ChatGPT "dental implants near me" or "best dental implants in [city]," the AI scans pages it can crawl for structured answers. FAQPage Schema gives it exactly what it needs — a machine-readable Q&A it can extract and cite without any interpretation.
From AltorLab's weekly crawls of dental practices websites: fewer than 25% have any FAQPage schema, and fewer than 15% have complete LocalBusiness schema with the correct subtype. This means the bar to appear in AI answers is low — one afternoon of technical work separates cited practices from invisible ones.
