Top recommendations
- Add Core JSON-LD Schema (Schema Markup): Implement JSON-LD Organization and WebSite schema on the homepage. Currently, no structured data is present to help LLMs identify the entity.
- Populate Meta Description (Technical Accessibility): The meta description is currently empty. Add a descriptive summary of Smashwords' services to improve LLM summarization.
- Add Recency Signals (Content Freshness): Add visible 'Last Updated' dates or a copyright year of 2026 to signal content recency to LLM crawlers.
- Enhance Entity Definition (Entity Definition): Create a dedicated 'About' page with a clear mission statement and founder/leadership bios to establish E-E-A-T.
- Optimize Heading Hierarchy (Content Structure): Fix the heading hierarchy. The page jumps from H1 to H2 but uses H2 for navigation-style category lists rather than descriptive content.
