  8. 8

    Make near-copy pages distinct

    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

  9. 9

    Settle on one address

    Under a point

    Redirect http, https, www, and the bare domain to one address, so the site is not indexed as several.

    Once, for the whole site

  10. 10

    Link to orphaned pages

    Under a point

    Link to each of these from a related page. A page only the sitemap knows about is treated as unimportant.

    Once, for the whole site

  11. 11

    Answer the first question right under it

    Under a point

    Answer the first question in the paragraph right under it, in 25 to 90 words. Whether the paragraph truly answers is for the judge or a person to say.

    List your profiles in your structured data

    +1 point, to 99

    Add sameAs to the Organization, Person or LocalBusiness on your home page, listing the address of each profile: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, LinkedIn. It is how assistants tie your site to you elsewhere.

    Once, for the whole site

  14. 14

    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

  15. 15

    Add lists or tables

    Under a point
