Leaves: Structure That Feeds AI
In the Orchard Ecosystem Framework™, Leaves represent the energy that feeds your digital presence. Just as leaves convert sunlight into energy for a tree, structure converts your content into energy that generative engines can absorb and use.
This energy comes from how a page is organized and described. Headings, summaries, lists, and question patterns help people understand what matters. Schema is the behind-the-scenes label that helps machines understand what a page is about.
Schema as a clarity signal helps establish:
- Clear content categorization for AI retrieval
- Authorship and credibility signals
- Direct extractability for FAQ and HowTo content
- Entity relationships that build your knowledge graph
Research shows proper structured data can boost visibility in AI responses by over 40% (Cornell University arXiv.org, Pg. 1 - "Abstract"). Schema helps you speak the language AI systems understand.
