Structured data on Paula's Choice

No JSON-LD or microdata in the homepage HTML. AI crawlers read the raw HTML, so schema injected only via JavaScript may not reach them - and product-level schema usually lives on product pages, not the homepage.

What this means

A higher score means AI assistants are more likely to recommend Paula's Choice when a shopper asks for cosmetics & beauty options. A big brand can still score low here if the AI does not associate it with this category - the score reflects category visibility, not overall size. As product research shifts into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, this increasingly decides who gets discovered.

2Structure product and FAQ content with clean JSON-LD schema.
3Make sure AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) are allowed in robots.txt.
4Earn third-party mentions - AI models lean on what others say about you.
