Membership Page Blueprint — Sports Activity Location

The membership page turns your facility into a bookable option. When someone asks "how much is a gym membership near me?" or "what does it cost to join?", AI needs structured pricing data to answer. This blueprint structures your membership tiers, pricing, and sign-up action into machine-readable data.

What this page needs

Pricing is the most common question people have about sports facilities. Structured membership data lets AI compare your plans, answer budget queries, and guide prospects directly to your sign-up page.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · Membership
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Sports Activity Location Membership page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Domain
2. Drop in description
3. Drop in name
4. Drop in price
5. Facility name
6. Faq answer
7. Faq question
8. Monthly price
9. Tier description
10. Tier name

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Sports Activity Location Membership"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Frequently asked questions

Should I list both monthly and annual prices?

Yes. Create separate Offer nodes for monthly and annual pricing. Use billingDuration with "unitCode": "MON" for monthly and "unitCode": "ANN" for annual. This lets AI compare both options and recommend based on budget or commitment preference.

How should I handle promotional or introductory pricing?

Add a separate Offer with a descriptive name like "First Month Special" and use validFrom and validThrough to define the promotion period. Keep promotional offers current — remove them once they expire so AI does not advertise expired deals.

Should drop-in and day pass options be included?

Absolutely. Drop-in passes are often the first thing someone searches for. Include them as separate Offer nodes without a billingDuration. This lets AI answer "how much is a day pass?" directly from your data.
