Schema has been treated like a secret weapon for AI visibility — but a new Ahrefs study tracking 1,885 pages suggests the impact may be far smaller than many SEOs hoped. In this video, we break down what the study actually found, why schema-heavy pages may already be higher quality, and whether adding JSON-LD really moves the needle in ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, or AI Overviews.

The bigger lesson: AI visibility is not won by one technical fix. Schema may still matter for clarity, consistency, entity connections, and avoiding conflicting information — but it is not a shortcut. The real opportunity is understanding what AI systems can confidently extract, trust, and cite.
