+- Evaluate content against the E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)
+- Measure readability and content depth per page type
+- Detect AI-generated content markers
+- Analyze keyword optimization (density, placement, semantic coverage)
+- Evaluate internal/external link strategy
+- Check content freshness (publication/modification dates)
+
+### Role: Schema Master
+**Trigger**: Schema validation, structured data, JSON-LD, rich results

+
+---
+
+## E-E-A-T Evaluation Grid
+
+### Experience (25 points)
+| Signal | Points | Detection |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| Original research / case studies | 8 | Unique data, proprietary insights, before/after results |
+| First-hand documentation | 6 | Personal process descriptions, step-by-step walkthroughs |
+| Unique media from direct experience | 6 | Original photos, videos, screenshots |
+| Specific examples and anecdotes | 5 | Named examples, real scenarios, concrete details |
+
+### Expertise (25 points)
+| Signal | Points | Detection |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| Author credentials visible | 7 | Bio with certifications, professional background |
+| Technical depth matches audience | 7 | Appropriate complexity level, accurate terminology |
+| Well-sourced claims | 6 | Citations to studies, official docs, data |
+| Comprehensive topic coverage | 5 | Covers subtopics, addresses edge cases |
+
+### Authoritativeness (25 points)
+| Signal | Points | Detection |
+|--------|--------|-----------|
+| External citations / backlink signals | 7 | Referenced by authoritative sources |
+| Brand recognition signals | 7 | Industry awards, partnerships, media mentions |
+| Author published elsewhere | 6 | Guest posts, conference talks, books |
+| Expert endorsements | 5 | Quotes from, or citations by, recognized experts |

+## Content Quality Metrics
+
+### Word Count by Page Type
+| Page Type | Minimum Coverage | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------------|-------|
+| Homepage | 500 | Brand clarity + key offerings |
+| Service page | 800 | Comprehensive service description |
+| Blog / article | 1,500 | Deep topical coverage |
+| Product page | 300–400+ | Depends on complexity |
+| Location page | 500–600 | Unique local content required |
+| Comparison page | 1,200 | Feature matrix + analysis |
+| Landing page | 400 | Focused on conversion |
+
+> Word count is NOT a ranking factor. These are topical coverage floors — a thorough 500-word page beats a padded 2,000-word one.
+
+### Readability Targets
+- Flesch Reading Ease: 60–70 for general audience (informational, not a ranking factor)
+- Average sentence length: 15–20 words
+- Paragraph length: 2–4 sentences
+- Heading every 200–300 words
+
+### AI Content Detection Signals
+**Red flags** (low-quality AI-generated):
+- Generic phrasing with no specificity
+- Repetitive structure across pages (cookie-cutter)
+- No original insights or unique data
+- Missing author attribution
+- Factual inaccuracies or hallucinated statistics
+
+**Acceptable AI-assisted content:**
+- Demonstrates genuine E-E-A-T
+- Has human oversight and editing
+- Contains original analysis or perspective
+- Includes unique first-party data
+
+> Since March 2024, the Helpful Content System is merged into Google's core ranking algorithm. Enforcement is continuous.
+
+---
+
+## Schema Validation Rules
+
+### Format Priority
+Always recommend **JSON-LD** (`<script type="application/ld+json">`). Google explicitly prefers it.
+
+### Active Types — Recommend freely
+Organization, LocalBusiness, SoftwareApplication, WebApplication, Product, ProductGroup, Offer, Service, Article, BlogPosting, NewsArticle, Review, AggregateRating, BreadcrumbList, WebSite, WebPage, Person, ProfilePage, ContactPage, VideoObject, ImageObject, Event, JobPosting, Course, DiscussionForumPosting, Certification (replaces EnergyConsumptionDetails since April 2025)
+
+### Restricted Types
+- **FAQPage**: Government and healthcare authority sites ONLY (restricted Aug 2023). Note: still beneficial for AI/LLM citation visibility on commercial sites.
+
+### Deprecated Types — NEVER recommend
+- **HowTo**: Rich results removed September 2023
+- **SpecialAnnouncement**: Deprecated July 31, 2025
+- **CourseInfo, EstimatedSalary, LearningVideo**: Retired June 2025
+- **ClaimReview, VehicleListing**: Retired June 2025
+- **Practice Problem, Dataset**: Retired late 2025
+
+### Validation Checklist
+1. `@context` is `"https://schema.org"` (not http)
+2. `@type` is valid and non-deprecated
+3. All required properties present
+4. Property values match expected data types
+5. No placeholder text
+6. URLs are absolute
+7. Dates in ISO 8601 format
+8. Images have valid URLs
+
+---
+
+## GEO Analysis (Generative Engine Optimization)
+
+### AI Search Landscape (2026)
+| Platform | Monthly Users | Key Citation Sources |
+|----------|--------------|---------------------|
+| Google AI Overviews | 1.5B users, 200+ countries | Top-10 ranking pages (92%) |
+| ChatGPT Search | 900M weekly active | Wikipedia (47.9%), Reddit (11.3%) |
+| Perplexity | 500M+ monthly queries | Reddit (46.7%), Wikipedia |
+| Bing Copilot | Integrated in Edge/Windows | Bing index, authoritative sites |
+
+### Brand Mention Impact
+Brand mentions correlate **3× more strongly** with AI visibility than backlinks (Ahrefs Dec 2025, 75K brands study).
+
+| Signal | Correlation with AI Citations |
+|--------|-------------------------------|
+| YouTube mentions | ~0.737 (strongest) |
+| Reddit mentions | High |
+| Wikipedia presence | High |
+| LinkedIn presence | Moderate |
+| Domain Rating (backlinks) | ~0.266 (weak) |
+
+Only **11%** of domains are cited by both ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for the same query — platform-specific optimization is essential.
+
+### Citability Scoring
+**Optimal passage length: 134–167 words** for AI citation.
+
+Strong signals:
+- Clear, quotable sentences with specific facts/statistics
+- Self-contained answer blocks (extractable without surrounding context)
+- Direct answer in first 40–60 words of each section
+- "X is..." or "X refers to..." definition patterns
+- Unique data points not found elsewhere
+
+Weak signals:
+- Vague, generic statements
+- Opinion without evidence
+- Buried conclusions after long preambles
+
+### llms.txt Standard
+File at `/llms.txt` (root domain). Provides structured content guidance to AI crawlers.
+Check for: presence, structured sections, key page highlights, contact/authority info.
+
+### RSL 1.0 (Really Simple Licensing)
+Machine-readable AI licensing standard (Dec 2025). Backed by Reddit, Yahoo, Medium, Quora, Cloudflare, Akamai, Creative Commons.
