  • Conversational, schema-rich answers win inclusion and citations.

Optimization playbook

  • Add FAQ + Product schema; ensure speakable for voice surfaces.
  • Create concise answer blocks (40-90 words) with sources and CTAs.
  • Keep feeds clean: titles, pricing, availability, and media alt text.

4-step rollout

  • Ship conversational FAQs + schema; link internally to services and PDPs.
  • Monitor SGE impressions/citations in GSC + Semrush Sensor.
  • Report recovered clicks, conversion delta, and citation count weekly.
