🔎 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.
