## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

###### Q1. What is the difference between this and schema plugins?

Schema plugins add structured data — but this template maps it manually to your prompt logic and content plan, creating custom alignment for LLMs and AI search.

###### Q2. What’s the role of entities here?

Entities add meaning and context. They help AI models understand your topic the way a domain expert would — critical for citation and coverage.

###### Q3. Do I need to fill every field?

No. Prioritize schema type, key entities, and at least one citation per content piece. You can enrich others later.

###### Q4. How do these notes help LLMs?

LLMs pick up phrasing patterns, glossaries, formatting, and sources. These notes guide your writers and editors in creating AI-compliant phrasing.

###### Q5. What’s the next step after this template?

Move into Pillar 4: Entity Optimization Canvas, where you’ll scale semantic alignment across your brand.
