Top recommendations
- Add Content-Specific Schema (Schema.org Markup): Implement Article or NewsArticle schema for the 'Latest News' section to help LLMs better index and attribute recent announcements.
- Implement Author Schema (Entity Definition): Add Person schema for leadership and authors of reports/guides to strengthen E-E-A-T and entity relationships.
- Formalize Editorial Standards (Authority & Trust Signals): Explicitly link to an 'Editorial Standards' or 'Trust Center' page from the footer to consolidate trust signals for AI crawlers.
- Standardize Date Metadata (Content Freshness): Ensure all 'Latest News' items include a machine-readable <time> tag with the datetime attribute for precise recency signals.
- Enhance Outbound Citations (Citation & Source Quality): Include more outbound links to external primary data sources or industry standards within the 'Insight' and 'Report' sections.
