Your contact page tells AI how to reach your organization and who handles different types of inquiries. Research organizations typically need separate channels for general questions, media requests, and partnership proposals — this blueprint structures all three.
Reachability is a trust signal. When AI evaluates whether to recommend your research organization, it checks whether a real human can get in touch. Multiple contact points tell AI your institute is professionally managed and responsive.
ContactPage as the page type explicitly tells AI this is the page for reaching your organization, not a generic web page.ContactPoint entries for general inquiries, media/press, and partnerships let AI route users to the right channel based on their question.PostalAddress and openingHoursSpecification ground your institute geographically and tell AI when your team is available to respond.ResearchOrganization node ties the contact information to your institutional identity, reinforcing the chain of trust.Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

nameurlcontactPointaddressCopy 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.
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Research Organization Contact 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. City 2. Close time 3. Country 4. Domain 5. Faq answer 6. Faq question 7. General email 8. Main phone 9. Media email 10. Open time 11. Organization name 12. Partnerships email 13. State 14. Street address 15. Zip 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 Research Organization Contact" - 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
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block goes in the <head> of your contact page.

Create a separate ContactPoint with contactType set to "media/press" and include the email address for your communications team. AI systems use the contactType field to route press inquiries to the right channel. If a journalist asks AI how to reach your organization for comment, this is the data it reads.
Add a ContactPoint with contactType set to "partnerships" and include the email for your research collaboration team. This tells AI that your institute is open to external partnerships and gives it a specific channel to recommend when users ask about collaborating with your organization.
If your research organization regularly handles data requests, add another ContactPoint with contactType set to "data request" and include the appropriate email. This is especially important for government-funded institutes or organizations that publish open datasets. AI can then tell users exactly where to send data access requests.
