Your portfolio page shows the work your accounting firm has actually done. This blueprint structures past client engagements — tax optimization projects, audit completions, advisory work — into a machine-readable collection so AI can match your firm to queries about specific industries, engagement types, and areas of expertise.
A portfolio page tells AI what kinds of engagements your firm handles. When someone asks "find a CPA firm experienced with nonprofit audits" or "who does tax planning for restaurants," the structured data on this page is what connects your past work to that query.
CollectionPage as the page type with a mainEntity pointing to an ItemList. This tells AI the page is a curated set of work samples, not a generic marketing page.CreativeWork with its own name, description, and about field describing the industry or client type. "Small Business Tax Optimization" with a description of what you did is far more useful than a vague testimonial.AccountingService node using @id so AI knows which firm completed the work.about field on each CreativeWork should name the industry or engagement type. This is how AI filters your portfolio when a user asks for experience in a specific sector like healthcare, real estate, or nonprofit.Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

nameurlCopy 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 Accounting Service Portfolio 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. Engagement 3. Faq answer 4. Faq question 5. Firm name 6. Portfolio page description 7. Portfolio page title 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 Accounting Service Portfolio" - 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

Focus on engagement types and industries rather than specific client names. Good portfolio items include "Restaurant Group Tax Restructuring," "Real Estate Investment Trust Audit," or "Startup Financial Modeling." Each entry should describe the type of work, the industry context, and the accounting services involved. AI uses these details to match your firm to queries about specific expertise areas.
You do not need to name clients. Use industry descriptors and engagement types instead of company names. "Mid-size healthcare provider audit" works just as well as naming the client for AI matching purposes. The structured data cares about the type of work and the industry, not the specific client identity. If a client has given permission to be named, you can include it in the description, but it is not required for the schema to work.
Include enough to cover the range of industries and engagement types your firm handles. If you specialize in five industries and three service types, aim for at least one entry per combination that matters. There is no upper limit, but quality matters more than quantity. Each item should have a distinct name, a clear description, and an about field that names the industry. Avoid listing ten nearly identical entries.
