Finance & fintech: how AI-ready is it?

Finance content ranks but isn't built to be cited - 73% of top pages have no proper schema, the worst of any sector.

vs the 83.6 cross-industry average

Financial pages win at classic search but are the least structured for AI to parse: nearly three-quarters lack Article or FAQ schema, and 42% use statement headings. In a sector where customers want plain, trustworthy answers before they commit, that structure gap is the difference between being the cited explainer and being skipped.
