# Implement rich product schema markup

**Action:** Embed rich, standardized schema markup for all products, applications, components, specifications, and use-cases across your digital properties.

**Outcome:** LLMs can parse relationships, performance characteristics, and intended applications with *zero ambiguity*, improving retrieval accuracy.

This is step 1 of [[framework-imi-citability-operationalization]] and a foundational move for [[concept-machine-readable-content]] and [[concept-prompt-authority]] under the Citability pillar of the [[framework-4c-generative-readiness]]. Understanding *why* it works requires [[prereq-llm-rag-mechanics]].
