5 more, to tidy up after 100
  1. 20

    Publish a sitemap

    Under a point

    Publish /sitemap.xml listing every page that should rank, and name it in robots.txt.

    Once, for the whole site

  2. 21

    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

  3. 22

    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. 23

    Link to your profiles

    Under a point

    Link from the home page, in its header or footer, to each profile you keep: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, X, LinkedIn.

    Once, for the whole site

  5. 24

    Set a share image

    Under a point

    Set og:image so links to the page carry a picture.
