Report #98326

[architecture] I added JSON-LD structured data, but AI crawlers still don't recognize my entities—why?

Embed

Journey Context:
Google's Rich Results Test executes JavaScript and may report client-injected JSON-LD as valid, but non-rendering AI crawlers receive the initial HTML without it. This creates a silent failure: your schema looks fine to Google's validator but is invisible to the crawlers that feed LLMs. The safest pattern is to generate JSON-LD server-side alongside the page metadata. It also helps traditional search because Google no longer needs a second rendering pass to see the structured data.
