Getting Started

AI Schema Gen is an AI-powered schema markup plugin for WordPress. It automatically analyzes your page content and generates valid JSON-LD structured data — enabling rich results in Google such as star ratings, FAQ accordions, recipe cards, product prices, and more.

The plugin works as a WordPress admin tool that connects to the AI Schema Gen API. You need a free API key to use AI generation. The visual editor, code editor, and manual validation work without an API key.

API Key Setup

AI Schema Gen uses an API key to connect your WordPress site to the AI Schema Gen backend. The free plan gives you 30 AI generations per month at no cost.

1. 1Go to AI Schema Gen.com/register and create a free account
2. 2After registering, your API key is shown on the dashboard. Copy it.
3. 3In WordPress, go to AI Schema Gen > Settings
4. 4Paste your API key into the API Key field and click Save Settings
5. 5A green checkmark confirms the key is valid and connected

Your First Schema

Once your API key is connected, generating schema is a single click.

1. 1Open any post or page in the WordPress editor (Gutenberg or Classic Editor)
2. 2Scroll down to the AI Schema Gen meta box below the editor
3. 3Click Generate with AI
4. 4The plugin sends your page title and content to the AI Schema Gen API, which classifies the content type and generates appropriate schema markup
5. 5The generated schema appears in the editor. Review it — click Save to publish it to your page
6. 6Optionally click Test with Google to open Google's Rich Results Test with your URL pre-filled

Editors & Preview

The AI Schema Gen meta box has three tabs for working with your schema markup.

The Export button downloads your schema as a JSON file. The Import button accepts a JSON file — useful for copying schemas between posts or sites.

Validation

AI Schema Gen validates your schema markup automatically before saving.

Built-in Validation

The plugin checks your JSON-LD against schema.org specifications and Google's Rich Results requirements. Issues are shown inline with specific field-level messages — required fields missing, wrong data types, invalid formats, etc.

Google Rich Results Test

Click Test with Google inside the meta box to open Google's Rich Results Test with your page URL pre-filled. This runs Google's actual validator and shows whether your schema qualifies for rich search results.

Schema Types

AI Schema Gen supports all 827+ schema types from schema.org. The AI automatically selects the most appropriate type based on your content. Common types:

Need a type not listed? Use the Code Editor to write any schema.org type directly, or select from the full type list in the Visual Editor.

Entity Authority

Entity authority is the layer of schema that tells AI systems and search engines who you are — not just what your page is about. While standard schema types (Article, Product, FAQ) help earn rich results, entity authority signals are what get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

AI Schema Gen injects two key entity authority properties into your schema automatically: sameAs and knowsAbout. These are added to your Organisation and Person entities wherever they appear in generated schema.

sameAs — Linking Your Entity to External Profiles

The sameAs property tells search engines and AI platforms that your Organisation or Person entity is the same as a known entity on an authoritative external source. This is how Google disambiguates your brand from others with similar names.

Add your sameAs URLs in AI Schema Gen > Settings > Entity Authority. AI Schema Gen will automatically include them in every piece of Organisation and Person schema it generates across your site.

knowsAbout — Declaring Your Areas of Expertise

The knowsAbout property declares the topics, industries, or domains your Organisation or Person has expertise in. AI platforms use this to decide whether your site is a credible source to cite on a given topic.

Add your topics in AI Schema Gen > Settings > Entity Authority > Areas of Expertise. Each topic can be a plain-text string or a URL pointing to a schema.org or Wikipedia topic page for maximum machine-readability.

  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "AI Schema Gen",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_Schema_Gen",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/ai-schema-gen",
    "https://crunchbase.com/organization/ai-schema-gen"
  ],
  "knowsAbout": [
    "Schema markup",
    "Structured data",
    "WordPress SEO",

  ]
}

Knowledge Graph Score

The AI Schema Gen dashboard shows a Knowledge Graph Score for your site — a 0–100 metric that measures how complete and verifiable your entity profile is. It factors in:

• 1Number of sameAs URLs added (more verified sources = higher score)
• 2Whether high-authority sources are included (Wikipedia and Wikidata carry the most weight)
• 3Number of knowsAbout topics declared
• 4Whether Organisation schema is present sitewide (not just on the homepage)
• 5Consistency of entity name across all schema output on the site

A score above 70 is considered strong for AI search citation probability. The dashboard shows specific recommendations to improve your score.

Setting Up Your Organisation Entity

Your Organisation entity profile is the foundation of all entity authority on your site. Set it up once in plugin settings — AI Schema Gen uses it to enrich every piece of schema it generates.

1. 1Go to AI Schema Gen > Settings > Organisation in your WordPress admin
2. 2Enter your Organisation name exactly as it should appear in schema (consistent with your brand name across the web)
3. 3Add your logo URL, website URL, and contact details
4. 4Under Entity Authority, paste in your sameAs URLs (one per line)
5. 5Under Areas of Expertise, add your knowsAbout topics
6. 6Click Save Settings — AI Schema Gen will include this entity profile in all schema generated going forward

Bulk Generation

Bulk generation is available on the Premium plan. It lets you generate schema for 100+ posts in a single operation from the AI Schema Gen SaaS dashboard.

1. 1Log into your account at AI Schema Gen.com/dashboard
2. 2Go to your site and click Bulk Generate
3. 3Select the post types and posts to process
4. 4Click Start Bulk Generation — the job is queued and processed in the background
5. 5Progress is shown in real time. Individual post results (success/fail) are displayed when complete

Analytics Dashboard
