Replied in Search Console says "Crawled, currently not indexed". What should I do?
Prune before you push. If a section of the site is full of near empty pages, such as tag archives or filter combinations, the better move is often to noindex or remove them and take them out of the sitemap. That turns the sitemap into a list of pages you…
Replied in How do AI visibility tools collect answers, and can I trust the numbers?
Ask how the answers were collected, because it decides how far the numbers can be trusted. Collection methods vary. Tools can use an engine's official API, a licensed data provider, or automated browsing of the public interface. Each has different coverage…
Replied in How do AI visibility tools collect answers, and can I trust the numbers?
A manual spot check. Pick 5 prompts, run them by hand on the same engine and location the tool uses, and compare. The answers will not match word for word, because answers vary. Compare the brands named and the sources cited. If the tool shows brands or…
Replied in How do AI visibility tools collect answers, and can I trust the numbers?
Ask about history and export. Trends need weeks of data. Ask how long answers are kept, whether you can read the full text of each answer, and whether you can export them. A number you cannot trace back to an answer is hard to defend in front of a client.
Replied in My site is slow on mobile but fine on desktop. Where do I start?

The thresholds in one place. A page passes Core Web Vitals when it meets all 3 at the 75th percentile of page loads, measured separately for mobile and desktop: LCP of 2.5 seconds or less, INP of 200 milliseconds or less, and CLS of 0.1 or less. INP replaced…
Replied in My site is slow on mobile but fine on desktop. Where do I start?
Test on a real mid range phone. If you can borrow one, load your slowest template on it over a normal connection. What you see is closer to what most visitors get than anything on a developer laptop, and the slow part is usually obvious within a few seconds…

Replied in Which schema markup is worth adding to a small business site?
How to test it. Run the page through Google's Rich Results Test and the Schema Markup Validator after each change, then watch the enhancement reports in Search Console for errors over the next few weeks. Fix errors before warnings. If a type is not eligible…
Replied in Which schema markup is worth adding to a small business site?
Match the visible page. Google says structured data should match the text on the page. If your markup lists one set of opening hours and the page lists another, one of them is wrong and an engine may trust the wrong one. Build the markup from the same source…

A starter set for a local service business. Organization or LocalBusiness on the home page and the contact page, BreadcrumbList on inner pages, and Article on posts with a real author and dates. Add Product and Offer only if you sell products with visible…
Replied in What is the difference between a canonical tag and noindex?
They answer different questions. Noindex says: do not show this page in search results. Use it for pages that should exist for visitors but not in search: thank-you pages, internal search results, and thin utility pages. A canonical tag says: of these…
