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

Your site lacks date signals that help search engines understand content freshness. This affects how Google evaluates your content's relevance and timeliness. Add structured data markup with publication and modification dates to improve visibility.

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

Your site returns HTML instead of a proper llms.txt file. This file helps AI systems understand your content better for training and responses. Create a text file at /llms.txt with clear descriptions of your site's purpose and content.

How does missing date information hurt my search rankings?

Search engines can't determine your content's freshness without date signals. This impacts E-E-A-T scoring and may lower rankings for time-sensitive topics. Add visible publication dates and structured markup to show content currency.

Should I add FAQ schema markup to my pages?

Your site has no FAQ Schema markup, missing opportunities for rich snippets. Adding FAQPage structured data helps your content appear in featured snippets and answer boxes, increasing visibility and click-through rates.

What counts as first-hand experience signals for search engines?

Your site shows only one quantified metric demonstrating expertise. Add more specific data, case studies, testimonials, or measurable results to strengthen your authority signals and improve E-E-A-T evaluation.
