Every indexable page has one clear search intent, unique title, description, H1, and useful body content.
Homepage, categories, tools, comparisons, best lists, resources, templates, and playbooks are linked from crawlable HTML.
Sitemap includes canonical production URLs and lastModified dates tied to content updates.
Comparison pages include verdict, decision criteria, risks, sources, and next steps.
Thin or research-only competitor pages are not promoted as the main site value.
