What is Person Schema?
Person Schema is the Schema.org JSON-LD type for real people: name, jobTitle, worksFor, knowsAbout, sameAs. The core structured signal Google Knowledge Panels and AI engines use to identify author entities.
How do you apply it in practice?
Example: `{「@type」:「Organization」,「name」:「23SEOGEO 团队」,「sameAs」:[「https://wikidata.org/wiki/Q...」]}`
Why does it matter for AI search citations?
Generative search engines tend to extract sentences that are clearly defined, consistent and quotable on their own. Writing concepts like "Person Schema" as one consistent definition across your site, backed by structured data and verifiable sources, lowers the chance of being misread. This improves readiness only; it does not guarantee citations or ranking gains — measure actual citations to know.

Schema.org Structured Data
Schema.org is a structured-data vocabulary jointly maintained by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex. Once annotated via JSON-LD, search engines and AI models can directly understand whether a page is an Article, Product, FAQ, or Organization — powering rich results and precise citations.
Author Bio
Author Bio is the author block at article end — since 2024 a mandatory E-E-A-T and GEO signal. Elements: real name, photo, 3–5 line credentials, Person schema + sameAs to LinkedIn/X/Wikidata.
sameAs Property
sameAs is a Schema.org property that links the same entity's multiple web identities via URLs (homepage, Wikidata, LinkedIn, X, Crunchbase). It is the strongest structured signal for AI engines to confirm entity consistency.
