JSON-LD structured data labels your content explicitly — this is a question, this is an answer, this is an organization, this is a price — so machines don't have to guess meaning from layout. AI crawlers and the search indexes they draw from can parse structured data faster and more reliably than freeform HTML, which lowers the odds your content gets misread or skipped.
It won't force a citation on its own, but it removes a common failure mode: a good answer a model simply can't parse cleanly. Kando's Schema Generator & Validator builds and checks this markup without needing a developer.
