## Schema.org Markup Patterns

### JSON-LD for Defined Terms
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "DefinedTerm",
  "name": "SEO",
  "description": "The process of optimizing a website to improve its visibility in search results.",
  "inDefinedTermSet": {
    "@type": "DefinedTermSet",
    "name": "Digital Marketing Glossary"
  }
}
```

### JSON-LD for People and Organizations
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "jobTitle": "Senior SEO Expert",
  "worksFor": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "Your Company"
  }
}
```

### Relationship Mapping using @graph
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@graph": [
    {
      "@type": "Concept",
      "name": "SEO",
      "hasPart": [
        { "@type": "Concept", "name": "Technical SEO" },
        { "@type": "Concept", "name": "Content SEO" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

## Internal Linking Strategy

### 1. Topic Cluster Architecture
- **Pillar Page:** Comprehensive overview (links to all clusters).
- **Cluster Pages:** Detailed deep-dives (all link back to the pillar).

### 2. Descriptive Anchor Text
- ❌ **Avoid:** "Click here", "Read more", "This link".
- ✅ **Use:** "[Technical SEO Checklist]", "[Keyword Research Methods]", "[Mobile Optimization Guide]".
