Anti-citation disqualifiers

🔎 SEO / AEO Pillar: Discovery Moderate effort Severity: medium Est. cost: $0 Gap: documentation Fix: deterministic

What it means

Content is free of overlays covering it, funnel-grade CTA density, and missing author/date on articles.

Why it matters

Models deprioritize pages that read like gated funnels: cookie walls over content, CTA-saturated copy, anonymous undated articles.

✗

What's wrong

Full-viewport modal over the article + every paragraph ends with 'Sign up now' + no author or date.

✓

What's right

Content unobstructed; named author and publish date; CTAs confined to header/footer.
