Top recommendations
- Enhance Author Entity Schema (Schema Markup): Implement Person schema for all authors on the homepage to strengthen entity relationships for LLMs.
- Surface Editorial Standards (Authority & Trust): Add a visible 'Editorial Standards' or 'Ethics Policy' link to the footer to improve trust signals for AI crawlers.
- Optimize AI Crawler Access (Technical Accessibility): Explicitly allow PerplexityBot and ClaudeBot in robots.txt to ensure optimal indexing by latest LLM engines.
- Refine Heading Hierarchy (Content Structure): Ensure H1 tags are unique per page; currently, the logo and main title both compete for H1 status.
- Define Technical Financial Entities (Entity Definition): Include a 'Term Definitions' or 'Glossary' section for complex financial instruments mentioned on the homepage.
