Why doesn't my site show publication dates to search engines?

Your site lacks date signals that help search engines understand content freshness. Add publication dates, last modified timestamps, or structured data markup to your pages. This helps search engines determine how current and relevant your content is for users.

What is llms.txt and why should my site have one?

Your site returns a 404 error for llms.txt, a file that helps AI systems understand your content better. Create an llms.txt file in your root directory to provide context and guidelines for how AI models should interpret your site's information.

How do I add FAQ schema markup to my pages?

Your site doesn't have FAQ schema markup, which helps search engines display your Q&As in rich snippets. Add FAQPage structured data to pages with frequently asked questions. This can improve your visibility in search results and voice searches.

Is my meta description too short for good SEO performance?

Yes, your meta descriptions are only 45 characters when they should be 120-158 characters. Expand them to include more relevant keywords and compelling copy. Longer descriptions give search engines more context and users better previews of your content.

How does missing date information affect my search engine rankings?

Search engines can't determine your content's freshness without date signals, potentially lowering your rankings for time-sensitive queries. Add visible publication dates and structured data timestamps to help search engines understand when your content was created or updated.
