        "text": "Schema Markup does not directly act as a ranking factor in the same way backlinks or content quality do. However, it can indirectly influence rankings by improving your visibility and click-through rates. Rich snippets, powered by schema, make your listings more appealing, which can lead to more clicks. Search engines interpret higher CTRs as a signal of user satisfaction and relevance, potentially contributing to improved rankings over time. It helps search engines understand your content better, which is foundational for good ranking.",
