    Put the text in the HTML

  2. 11

    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.

  3. 12

    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. 13

    Set a share image

    Under a point

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