# How to add JSON-LD schema for AI engines

> JSON-LD in <script type="application/ld+json"> is the format Google recommends and AI engines parse most reliably. Six core schema.org types — Organization, Article, Product, FAQPage, Person, BreadcrumbList — handle 80% of practical cases. The @graph pattern bundles related types in one block with shared @id references.
