HowTo schema

What it is: HowTo schema describes a step-by-step guide as a numbered sequence search engines can read. BurstWriter applies it when an article is a how-to (its type is "how-to", or the title starts with "How to").

Why it matters: it makes the guide eligible for step-by-step rich results and is exactly the structure AI answer engines reuse when walking a user through a task.

Goal: your how-to content is presented as clear, followable steps in search and AI results.
