  2. 6

    Make near-copy pages distinct

    Under a point

    Rewrite or merge pages that share most of their text. A page that only swaps a city or product name is what search engines treat as doorway or scaled content.

    Once, for the whole site

  3. 7

    Add an llms.txt

    Under a point

    Add /llms.txt: a short plain text map of the site for assistants. Its effect is unproven, so treat it as cheap insurance.

    Once, for the whole site

  4. 8

    Fix description lengths

    Under a point

    Write a meta description of 70 to 165 characters that summarizes the page.

    The home page
