The Convergence Scorecard
Score your jewelry site against the three frameworks that converged in one week: AirOps structured data, Zyppy's five winning features, and Slobodan Manic's machine-first architecture.
How to use this: Go through each criterion and check it off if your site already hits it. Add a note in the box if you want to remember something specific. At the bottom, you'll get a readiness score and a prioritized gap list. Budget 10–15 minutes. Your progress saves in your browser as you go.
1. AirOps: Structured Data for AI Citations
815K query-page pairs, April 2026
0 / 6
Product schema is present and validated
Every product page has valid Product schema (checked at Rich Results Test, 0 errors, 0 warnings).
FAQ schema on high-intent pages
FAQPage schema on product, collection, or guide pages. Not just one blog post.
BreadcrumbList schema sitewide
Breadcrumbs in schema on every page, not just in visible nav.
Lists and tables in product content
Scannable specs (materials, dimensions, stones) appear as actual list or table markup, not prose paragraphs.
Facts lead, prose supports
Product pages open with crisp, scannable facts (who, where, material, scarcity) before the story or voice.
Zero-editorial-heading product pages
Product pages avoid decorative H2s that break up scannable fact blocks. AirOps found these cited 43.2% of the time.
2. Zyppy: Five Features of Google Winners
Cyrus Shepard, 400+ site analysis, April 9 2026
0 / 5
Clear offers (products or services)
The site clearly sells something. Prices visible. Scope of service defined. 70.2% of winners have this.
Task completion
Someone can come, finish a task (buy, book, learn, calculate), and leave satisfied. 83.7% of winners. Add interactive tools and calculators.
Proprietary assets
Original research, data, tools, or creative work that can't be copied from anywhere else. 92.9% of winners. This is the biggest differentiator.
Tight topical focus
One thing, deep. Not a generalist. 75.9% of winners. Jewelry designers win this naturally.
Strong brand
Recognizable, defensible, named. 32.6% of winners. Smallest correlation but the hardest to fake.
3. Slobodan Manic: Machine-First Architecture
Search Engine Journal, April 16 2026
0 / 5
Schema before design
When you build or edit a page, you think about the structured data first and the visual layout second.
Trust built upstream
Product pages name the maker, location, materials, and scarcity, so trust is established before the cart. Not waiting for a post-purchase email.
Warehouse and storefront both functional
Your site works for agents reading raw data (warehouse) AND humans browsing visuals (storefront). Neither is neglected.
LLM crawler access is intentional
You've made a deliberate choice about GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, etc. Either opted in site-wide or opted out on staging. Not accidentally wide open.
Product feed readiness
Google Merchant Center (or equivalent) feed is clean, attributes are filled in, and you've considered UCP or ACP enrollment even if you haven't pulled the trigger yet.
