# SuperSchema Documentation & Knowledge Base > Learn how to use SuperSchema to generate, deploy, verify, and monitor AI-ready schema markup. Guides, concepts, troubleshooting, and reference for every feature. *Last updated: 2026-07-06* --- ## Getting Started What SuperSchema is, the fast path to your first schema, and how the whole workflow fits together. - [Getting started with SuperSchema](https://superschema.ai/docs/getting-started): SuperSchema is the AI-facing layer of your business: it helps you stay visible, understood, and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Claude. The fastest path to value is to run a free Site Scan, then structure and deploy your most important pages. - [How SuperSchema works: Scan, Structure, Deploy, Verify, Watch, Monitor](https://superschema.ai/docs/the-superschema-workflow): SuperSchema is a loop that keeps AI systems reading the right facts about your business over time. You Scan to see where you stand, Structure the schema and AI-readable files AI needs, Deploy them to your live pages, Verify they are live, Watch which AI bots and citations you earn, and Monitor for changes. A one-time Audit is an optional deep dive. - [Free, monitoring plans, and audits at a glance](https://superschema.ai/docs/plans-at-a-glance): A quick orientation to how SuperSchema is priced: start free with a Site Scan, subscribe to a monitoring plan (Essential $49, Growth $129, Portfolio $299, or Enterprise custom) to stay AI-ready over time, and optionally add a one-time Audit. Save 20% with annual billing. There are no credits. Full detail lives in Billing and on the pricing page. ## Core Concepts Plain-language primers on schema markup, AEO/GEO, AI-readable content, and how scoring works. - [What is schema markup (JSON-LD)?](https://superschema.ai/docs/what-is-schema-markup): Schema markup is a small block of structured data that tells search engines and AI exactly what a page is about: this is a Product with this price, this is an Article by this author. SuperSchema writes it in JSON-LD, the format Google recommends, and it does not change how your page looks or slow it down. - [What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?](https://superschema.ai/docs/what-is-aeo): AEO is Answer Engine Optimization: shaping your content so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI overviews can find, understand, and cite you when they answer a question, instead of just ranking a link in a list. - [What is GEO & AI search optimization?](https://superschema.ai/docs/what-is-geo-and-ai-search): GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about being the source generative AI engines choose and cite when they answer a question. This explains how AI engines pick sources, what makes content citable, and how it relates to AEO. - [How AI reads your website](https://superschema.ai/docs/how-ai-reads-your-website): AI crawlers and answer engines have to fetch your pages, dig your real content out of the navigation and scripts, and decide what it means. This walks through each step (crawling, rendering, structured data, AI-readable files, llms.txt) and what you can do to make it easy. - [How scoring works in SuperSchema](https://superschema.ai/docs/how-scoring-works): SuperSchema has two scores that are actually calculated (a per-schema quality score and the site-wide SuperSchema Score) plus one measured outcome (the Citation Score). This explains how the two calculated scores are built, why some inputs weigh more, and what actually moves each number. ## Site Scan & AI Visibility The free Site Scan, your SuperSchema Score, citation tracking, and AI bot tracking — how AI sees and recommends your business. - [Running a free site scan](https://superschema.ai/docs/running-a-free-scan): Enter your domain and SuperSchema samples up to 10 key pages, measures how ready they are for AI and search, and hands you a SuperSchema Score. It is free, needs no account, and never changes your live site. - [Reading your Site Scan report](https://superschema.ai/docs/reading-your-ai-readiness-report): After a scan or a claim, the Site Scan report shows your SuperSchema Score, a letter grade, a five-category breakdown, a plain-language message, and a prioritized Action Plan. This walks through each part and what to do with it. - [Your SuperSchema Score](https://superschema.ai/docs/your-superschema-score): The SuperSchema Score is a 0 to 100 measure of how ready your site is for AI to find, read, and trust it. It is a weighted blend of five categories, and this article explains each one, the weights, the bands and letter grades, and how to raise it. - [Understanding your scores](https://superschema.ai/docs/understanding-your-scores): SuperSchema shows three different scores that are easy to mix up: the schema quality score for one generated schema, the SuperSchema Score for your whole site, and the Citation Score for how often AI recommends you. Here is what each one answers and when you see it. - [Citation tracking and your Citation Score](https://superschema.ai/docs/citation-tracking): Citation tracking asks real AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) the buyer questions your customers ask, then measures how often they actually recommend you. The result is your Citation Score, a read on how visible you are in AI answers. - [AI bot tracking](https://superschema.ai/docs/bot-tracking): Bot tracking shows which AI crawlers actually visit your site, which pages they read, and whether crawler demand is growing. You install a lightweight tracking pixel once, then watch GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and others show up in a live dashboard. - [The SuperSchema Registry](https://superschema.ai/docs/superschema-registry): The SuperSchema Registry is a public, AI-readable listing of your business that we host at superschema.ai/registry. It gives AI systems a clean, verified summary of who you are and what you do, and it feeds the Discovery Network side of bot tracking. A registry listing is included on the Growth plan and higher. - [Claiming a scan and creating your account](https://superschema.ai/docs/claiming-a-scan): Claiming a scan reveals your full SuperSchema Score, your prioritized fixes, and your included Page Setup by creating a free account. No card is required, it takes under 30 seconds, and the business context the scan already detected carries over. - [Scan troubleshooting: why a scan gets blocked, fails, or times out](https://superschema.ai/docs/scan-troubleshooting): A reference for every scan error SuperSchema can show, what each one usually means, and how to fix it. Most failures come down to bot protection, a firewall, or a slow response, and the fix is almost always allowing SuperSchemaBot or trying another public page. ## SuperSchema Audit The one-time AI Clarity Audit: what it examines, the five modules, and the Decision Pack you receive. - [The SuperSchema Audit](https://superschema.ai/docs/superschema-audit): A one-time, done-for-you diagnostic run by the SuperSchema team. It compares what your website says about your business against what AI systems can actually see, then hands you a Decision Pack with scores, your top risks, and a ranked list of what to fix first. It is separate from the self-serve monitoring subscriptions. ## Generating Schema Entering URLs, discovering pages, choosing types, editing, refining, and exporting schema. - [Generating schema for a page](https://superschema.ai/docs/schema-generation): Paste a URL and SuperSchema reads your real page content, then writes the correct JSON-LD for you. No manual data entry and no Schema.org documentation to hunt through. It also produces clean AI-readable Markdown and plain-text versions of the page alongside the schema. - [How SuperSchema finds your pages](https://superschema.ai/docs/url-discovery): The old crawl-your-whole-site "Discover URLs" flow has been retired. Today your pages come in through the free Site Scan and by setting up individual URLs, and everything lands on your domain page under Your Pages. - [Auto-Detect vs choosing a schema type](https://superschema.ai/docs/choosing-a-schema-type): By default SuperSchema picks the best schema type for your page for you. You can also open the Primary Schema Type selector and force a specific type when you already know what the page should be. - ["Schema already detected": what to do](https://superschema.ai/docs/existing-schema-detected): Before generating, SuperSchema checks whether your page already has schema. If it finds some, it shows you the "Heads up! Schema detected" prompt with the types already present, so you can add a complementary type instead of a duplicate. - [Adding multiple schema types to one page](https://superschema.ai/docs/multiple-schema-types): A single page can carry several schema types. Use "Add Schema Type" to generate more types for the same URL, switch between them with tabs, and copy them all out together. Adding types is free, and a page can hold up to 10. - [Editing schema in the editor](https://superschema.ai/docs/editing-schema): The Schema Editor is a full JSON-LD code editor with syntax highlighting, live validation, and auto-save. Change any field by hand, watch for errors and warnings as you type, and your edits save automatically a few seconds after you stop typing. - [Schema quality score and AI refinement](https://superschema.ai/docs/schema-quality-and-refinement): Every schema you generate gets a per-schema quality score from 0 to 100, shown as a Schema Quality Overview with two parts: Completeness and Quality Depth. Refine with AI gives you up to two free passes that mainly raise Quality Depth. This is separate from your site SuperSchema Score. - [The Google Search Preview](https://superschema.ai/docs/rich-results-preview): The Google Search Preview panel shows an approximation of how your schema could appear as a rich result, and badges which of your schema types are eligible for one. Eligibility means it is possible, not guaranteed. Google decides what to actually show. - [Generating FAQ schema](https://superschema.ai/docs/faq-schema): SuperSchema builds FAQPage schema from the real questions and answers on your page. It looks for a Frequently Asked Questions section and pairs each question with its answer. Here is how it decides a page is an FAQ, and how to fix the pairs if they look wrong. - [Generating VideoObject schema](https://superschema.ai/docs/videoobject-schema): SuperSchema detects embedded videos and builds VideoObject schema, filling in the embed link and, where it can, a thumbnail. It recognizes YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, HubSpot, Vidyard, Brightcove, Loom, and native HTML5 video. Here is what is supported and what to do when a video is not found. - [Copying and exporting your schema](https://superschema.ai/docs/copying-and-exporting): Get your finished schema out of SuperSchema with the "Copy Schema" button, which copies a ready-to-paste <script type="application/ld+json"> block. You can also copy the alternate-file link tags, download the AI-readable Markdown and plain-text files, or push everything straight to HubSpot. - [Managing your pages](https://superschema.ai/docs/library-management): There is no separate Library anymore. Every page you scan, set up, or monitor lives on its domain page under Your Pages, with a coverage ring, lifecycle sections, search, and per-page actions. ## Deploying Schema Getting schema live: copy-paste, platform guides, the hosted snippet, and the page-setup wizard. - [Ways to get your schema live](https://superschema.ai/docs/deployment-options-overview): Once your schema is generated, there are two ways to put it on your page: paste the block into your <head>, or push it straight to HubSpot. The Page Setup wizard walks a page through generate, deploy, verify, and monitor in one place. - [Copy-paste schema into your site's <head>](https://superschema.ai/docs/copy-paste-into-head): The universal way to deploy: copy the generated block from SuperSchema and paste it into your page's <head>. It works on every platform, does not change how your page looks, and is safe to remove or re-paste any time. - [Adding schema to your website](https://superschema.ai/docs/schema-implementation): Once your schema is generated, add the JSON-LD to your page's <head>. Step-by-step guides for HubSpot, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and custom HTML, plus how to verify it went live. ## Verifying Deployment How SuperSchema confirms schema is live, why it polls, and how to fix verification failures. - [How deployment verification works](https://superschema.ai/docs/how-verification-works): After you deploy, SuperSchema re-crawls your live page, finds its own install block, and confirms the exact schema package you generated is really published. It matches by version id first, then by a content hash, then by schema type, and reports one clear status so you know whether you are done. - [Why verification takes a minute or two](https://superschema.ai/docs/verification-polling): Verification is not always instant. A change has to republish and clear your CDN before it shows up on the live page, so SuperSchema re-checks several times over a few minutes and only reports "not detected" after every attempt comes back empty. - [Verification says "not detected": how to fix it](https://superschema.ai/docs/verification-troubleshooting): If SuperSchema cannot confirm your schema on the live page, it is almost always one of a handful of causes: the code is not published yet, a wrong URL, a blocked crawler, a redirect, or an older package on the page. Work through them in order using the exact status message SuperSchema showed you. ## Monitoring & Drift Baselines, ongoing checks, drift events, and keeping schema aligned as your site changes. - [What monitoring does](https://superschema.ai/docs/what-monitoring-does): Once a page is verified, monitoring saves a baseline of its current state, re-checks the page on a schedule, and raises a drift event when something meaningful changes so your schema and AI-readable layer stay accurate as your site evolves. - [Understanding drift events](https://superschema.ai/docs/understanding-drift-events): A drift event means a monitored page changed since its baseline. Events are ranked Critical, High, Medium, Low, or Info so you can tell an emergency (schema gone, page returning an error) from a routine edit at a glance. - [Resolving drift events](https://superschema.ai/docs/resolving-drift-events): When you review a drift event you have three choices: save the current page as the new baseline, mark it resolved, or dismiss it. Here is exactly what each one does and when to use it. - [Monitoring roster and capacity](https://superschema.ai/docs/monitoring-roster-and-capacity): Your plan includes a set number of monitored-page slots (50 on Essential, 200 on Growth, 500 on Portfolio, custom on Enterprise). Here is how to see what is monitored, free up a slot by swapping or stopping a page, and what happens when you hit your limit. ## AI-Readable Files Hosted .md/.txt alternate files and your domain llms.txt. - [AI-readable alternate files (.md and .txt)](https://superschema.ai/docs/ai-readable-alt-files): For each page you generate, SuperSchema builds a clean Markdown (.md) and plain-text (.txt) version of your content, hosts them, and gives you two link tags to add to your page head so AI systems can read your content without fighting your layout. - [Your domain llms.txt file](https://superschema.ai/docs/domain-llms-txt): llms.txt is a single site-level file that gives AI systems a structured overview of your whole domain: a short site summary, a count of your schema types, and a ranked list of your key pages with their descriptions and schema. SuperSchema generates it from your monitored pages on paid plans. ## Domains & Subdomains Managing your domain portfolio, subdomains, the Library, and the domain detail view. - [Adding & managing domains](https://superschema.ai/docs/adding-and-managing-domains): SuperSchema organizes every feature by domain. Add a site once, watch its Site Scan, Bot Tracking, and Schema status from one portfolio view, and know exactly how many domains your plan allows. - [Working with subdomains](https://superschema.ai/docs/subdomains): A subdomain like blog.example.com is grouped under the root domain you added, but you can view and work on it separately with its own pages, schema, and monitoring. No extra domain slot required. - [Understanding the domain detail page](https://superschema.ai/docs/domain-detail-page): Opening a domain lands you on its detail page: the control center for that site. It pulls your Site Scan score, AI recommendations, Bot Tracking, schema coverage, and a lifecycle-grouped list of your pages into one view, with tabs to every feature. ## Integrations Connecting HubSpot, pushing schema to it, troubleshooting, and upcoming integrations. - [HubSpot integration](https://superschema.ai/docs/hubspot-integration): Connect your HubSpot portal once, map it to the domains it hosts, then push schema and AI-readable files straight into your blog posts, pages, and landing pages with one click. No copy-paste, no touching HubSpot code. - [API, MCP, CLI & other integrations](https://superschema.ai/docs/other-integrations) _(coming soon)_: HubSpot is the one shipping integration today. A developer platform (a REST API, an MCP server, and a CLI) is planned but not publicly available yet. Here is what is real now, what is coming, and how to get early access. ## Teams & Collaboration Roles and permissions, invites, joining, switching teams, and shared resources. - [How teams work in SuperSchema](https://superschema.ai/docs/how-teams-work): Every SuperSchema account starts as a team of one. On a paid plan you can invite teammates into a shared workspace where domains, scans, schema, monitoring, and the plan itself are shared. The owner holds the subscription, and everyone works from the same data. - [Team roles and permissions](https://superschema.ai/docs/team-roles-and-permissions): Teams have three roles: Owner, Admin, and Member. Everyone can use the shared workspace. Admins can invite and remove members and manage billing. Only the Owner can change roles and holds the team’s plan. - [Inviting team members](https://superschema.ai/docs/inviting-team-members): Owners and admins invite teammates by generating a single-use invite link. Pick a role, copy the link, and share it yourself. Links expire in 7 days and each one works for one person only. - [Joining a team and what happens to your data](https://superschema.ai/docs/joining-a-team): Open the invite link, sign in or create an account, and accept. You join the team’s shared workspace and get access to its domains, scans, schema, and monitoring. Your own owned team stays intact and you can switch back to it any time. - [Leaving and switching teams](https://superschema.ai/docs/leaving-and-switching-teams): You can belong to several teams and switch which one is active from the team switcher. Members and admins can leave a team, which removes their access to that team’s shared work. The owner cannot leave their own team. - [Team features and your plan](https://superschema.ai/docs/team-features-require-pro): Team collaboration is included with paid plans. On the Free Trial your workspace is a single seat, so inviting and managing teammates is locked. Moving to a paid plan unlocks it right away, and your plan sets how many seats you get. ## Billing & Plans Free vs monitoring plans vs audits, choosing a plan, managing your subscription, payment, and invoices. - [Billing and plans overview](https://superschema.ai/docs/billing-and-plans): How SuperSchema pricing works: a free Site Scan to start, recurring monitoring subscriptions (Essential, Growth, Portfolio, Enterprise) to stay AI-ready, and separate one-time audits for a deep diagnostic. There are no credits. - [Choosing a monitoring plan](https://superschema.ai/docs/choosing-a-monitoring-plan): Pick a monitoring tier by the most demanding thing you need to cover: number of monitored pages, number of domains, team size, or how much bot and citation tracking you want. Essential fits one small site, Growth fits a growing team, Portfolio fits agencies and multi-site operators, and Enterprise fits complex organizations. - [What’s included in a monitoring plan](https://superschema.ai/docs/monitoring-plans-whats-included): Every paid monitoring plan includes the same core toolkit: unlimited schema and AI-readable file generation, hosted files, your SuperSchema Score, change monitoring, citation scans, bot tracking, HubSpot Sync, and teams. Higher tiers raise the limits on pages, domains, seats, scans, history, and check frequency. - [Managing your subscription](https://superschema.ai/docs/managing-your-subscription): Upgrade, downgrade, switch between monthly and annual, pause, cancel, or reactivate your monitoring plan from Settings, then Billing. Upgrades prorate immediately; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of your billing period. - [Payment methods and billing info](https://superschema.ai/docs/payment-methods-and-billing-info): Update the card on file and add the company name, address, and tax or VAT details that print on your invoices. Both live under Settings, then Billing. Cards are processed securely by Stripe, and SuperSchema never stores your full card number. - [Finding your invoices and receipts](https://superschema.ai/docs/invoices): Every subscription charge and one-time purchase, such as an audit, has an invoice you can view and download as a PDF from the Invoice History section under Settings, then Billing. PDFs include the company and tax details you set in Billing Info. - [Refunds and plan changes](https://superschema.ai/docs/refunds-and-plan-changes): Upgrade any time and pay only the prorated difference right away; downgrades take effect at the end of your billing period. Annual billing saves 20% and can be switched any time. For refunds, contact support: because a free Site Scan lets you evaluate first, we handle refund requests case by case. ## Account & Settings Signing in, profile and preferences, security, and deleting your account. - [Signing up and signing in](https://superschema.ai/docs/signing-in-and-accounts): Create a SuperSchema account with an email and password or a social login, verify your email, and sign back in from any device. Your account is set up automatically the first time you sign in. - [Account and profile settings](https://superschema.ai/docs/account-and-profile-settings): Everything on the Settings > Account page: your signed-in identity, your organization name, your usage statistics, and your saved Business Profiles. - [Preferences and appearance](https://superschema.ai/docs/preferences): Set your app preferences under Settings > Preferences, including auto-saving discovered URLs to your Library and your default schema format. Switch between light, dark, and system appearance from the theme button in the header. - [Security and your data](https://superschema.ai/docs/account-security): A plain-language look at how SuperSchema handles your sign-in, your connected services like HubSpot, and your payment details, and what happens to your data when you disconnect or delete. - [Deleting your account](https://superschema.ai/docs/deleting-your-account): Deleting your account is permanent. It cancels active subscriptions, removes your data, deletes owned workspace data for every member, and deletes your sign-in account. You confirm by typing your account email and checking a box. Here is exactly what happens. ## Troubleshooting A symptom-to-fix hub for scan, generation, verification, HubSpot, and monitoring issues. - [Troubleshooting: find a fix by symptom](https://superschema.ai/docs/troubleshooting-hub): A routing hub for every SuperSchema problem. Find the stage where you hit trouble (scanning, generating, verifying, HubSpot, plan limits, or monitoring), match your exact symptom or error message, and jump straight to the deep article that fixes it. ## Reference Schema type reference, scoring reference, glossary, crawler/access reference, and developer stubs. - [Supported schema types reference](https://superschema.ai/docs/supported-schema-types): The full list of schema types SuperSchema can generate, what each one is for, which ones qualify for a Google rich result, and which ones need real evidence on the page before they will be added. - [Scoring reference](https://superschema.ai/docs/scoring-reference): The tables, at a glance: the five category weights, the SuperSchema Score bands, the full letter-grade ladder, and the schema quality score tiers. For the concepts behind them, see "How scoring works" and "Understanding your scores." - [Crawler and access reference](https://superschema.ai/docs/crawler-and-access-reference): How SuperSchema reads your pages: the exact bot user agent, what the crawler does and does not do, and how to let it through robots.txt, Cloudflare, and other firewalls so scans, verification, and monitoring all work. - [Glossary of terms](https://superschema.ai/docs/glossary): Plain-language definitions of the terms you will see across SuperSchema and this knowledge base, from schema markup and JSON-LD to the SuperSchema Score, Citation Score, baselines, drift, and AI-readable alt files. ## FAQ Quick answers to the most common questions, assembled from across the knowledge base. - [Frequently asked questions](https://superschema.ai/docs/faq): Quick, straight answers to the most common questions about SuperSchema: what it is, the free Site Scan, scoring, generating and deploying schema, verification, monitoring, audits, billing, and teams. Each answer links to the deeper guide.
