- ✓Priority 3: Article/BlogPosting with authorship chains (Person → worksFor → Organization)
- ✓Priority 4: Service with detailed descriptions
- ✓Priority 5: FAQPage — valuable for AI extraction despite Rich Result limitations

Proper schema implementation for B2B enterprise requires a clear priority order and clean entity linking.
Implementation Priorities
Organization with sameAs links to Wikipedia, Wikidata, LinkedIn and Crunchbase anchors the brand entity in Knowledge Graphs. Person for executives and subject matter experts with credentials, linked via worksFor to Organization. Article/BlogPosting with complete authorship chains (Person → worksFor → Organization). Service for services with detailed descriptions. FAQPage — despite rich result limitations, valuable for AI extraction. BreadcrumbList for site structure understanding. Product/Offer if relevant, with GTIN/MPN for ChatGPT Shopping.
Entity Linking
The @id property creates globally unique entity identifiers. sameAs confirms that references point to known real entities. @graph connects entity networks across pages. Disconnected entities — where Author, Publisher and Organization don't correctly reference each other — create understanding gaps that reduce AI trust.
