How to fix aeo schema client rendered on Squarespace

Steps for Squarespace

1. In your Squarespace admin go to Settings → Advanced → Code Injection.
2. Paste your complete <script type="application/ld+json">…</script> block into the 'Header' field — this is injected server-side into the <head> of every page.
3. For page-specific schema (e.g., individual product pages), use a Code Block injected into that page's content area — note this is also server-rendered HTML, not JavaScript.
4. Squarespace Commerce automatically outputs some Product schema server-side; to extend or replace it, use Code Injection rather than any third-party JavaScript snippet.
5. View page source to confirm the JSON-LD block appears without needing to run JavaScript.

What is aeo schema client rendered?

Structured data (also called schema markup) is a block of code — usually written in JSON-LD format inside a `<script type="application/ld+json">` tag — that tells search engines and AI systems exactly what your page is about: the product name, price, reviews, breadcrumbs, and more. "Client-rendered" means this code is injected into the page by JavaScript after the browser loads, rather than being baked into the HTML that the server sends. The problem is that many crawlers — especially AI-powered ones like GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot (Anthropic), and PerplexityBot — fetch your raw HTML and never run JavaScript, so they never see the schema at all.

AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google's AI Overviews) increasingly pull structured product data directly from your page to populate citations, shopping answers, and summaries. If your schema only exists after JavaScript runs, these crawlers see a blank — meaning your products are invisible to AI-driven discovery, costing you valuable citation traffic. Traditional search engines like Google also prefer server-rendered schema; client-rendered schema is never guaranteed to be indexed, putting your rich results (star ratings, price drops, availability badges) at risk and reducing your click-through rates from organic search.
