Pricing Page Blueprint — Professional Service

Your pricing page is where cost meets credibility. This blueprint structures your service tiers, billing periods, and price points so AI systems can give direct, accurate answers when users ask "how much does it cost."

What this page needs

AI users frequently ask questions like "how much does a consultant charge" or "what does an agency cost per month." If your pricing page lacks structured data, AI has to guess from body copy — and it usually guesses wrong or skips you entirely. Here are the key signals this blueprint expects:

Without these fields, AI may know you offer a service but will lack the pricing context that often determines whether a user reaches out or moves on.

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.

Organization

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed entity.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route users correctly.

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 · Pricing
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Professional Service Pricing 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. Billing period
2. Country
3. Currency code
4. Domain
5. Faq answer
6. Faq question
7. Organization name
8. Pricing page description
9. Pricing page title
10. Service description
11. Service name
12. Tier
13. Unit code

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 Professional Service Pricing"
- 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 use Offer or AggregateOffer for my pricing tiers?

Use individual Offer nodes for each tier. AggregateOffer is designed for product listings where you want to express a price range across multiple sellers. For service pricing pages with distinct tiers (e.g., Starter, Growth, Enterprise), separate Offer nodes give AI a clearer picture of what each level includes and costs.

What if my pricing is custom or "contact us" only?

You can still use this blueprint. Set the price field to "0" and add a description like "Custom pricing — contact for a quote." This tells AI that the service exists and has a pricing model, even if the exact number is not public. Omitting structured data entirely is worse than signaling that pricing is available on request.

How do I handle monthly vs. annual billing options?

Create separate Offer nodes for each billing cycle. Use the billingDuration field inside UnitPriceSpecification to distinguish them — for example, "P1M" for monthly and "P1Y" for annual. This lets AI accurately answer questions like "how much per month" vs. "how much per year."
