No FAQ section foundwarning~15 min fix

A clear Frequently Asked Questions section presents important questions and answers in a directly extractable format. Add one when it reflects real customer questions, and keep each answer factual and self-contained.

Quick Fix

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "FAQPage",
  "mainEntity": [{
    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "What does your company do?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "We provide [your service]. Our solution helps..."

AI doesn't know who you areinfo~10 min fix

Your site is missing identity markup that tells AI engines "we are [Company X], and here's what we do." Adding this helps AI assistants recognize your brand as an authority and recommend you by name.

Quick Fix

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Your Company",
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "logo": "https://yoursite.com/logo.png",
  "sameAs": [
    "https://twitter.com/yourhandle",
    "https://linkedin.com/company/yourcompany",
    "https://github.com/yourorg"
  ],
  "contactPoint": {
    "@type": "ContactPoint",
    "email": "hello@yoursite.com",
    "contactType": "customer service"
  }
}
</script>

Entity markup tells AI models who you are, making them more likely to cite your brand accurately.
