What you'll learn

19 schema types and a perfect score, ranked 7th

What one company's markup bought it in its own category, measured on our Sep 8 rescan.

The site with zero schema that ranks first

Why it takes 38.1% of every top pick in its field, measured on the same Sep 8 rescan.

Why this topic matters

Every AEO checklist opens with schema and none of them tells you what it buys. On the 3 sites we scanned on 2026-09-08 the markup order and the outcome order ran opposite. The useful version of this topic is which parts are cheap and worth doing anyway, and which parts you have been sold as the whole job.
