RECOMMENDATIONS // COSTCO
HIGH: Structured data (JSON-LD) implementation is weak. Add Organization, Article, FAQ, and Breadcrumb schema to improve AI extraction.
HIGH: Author attribution and E-E-A-T signals need strengthening. Add clear author bios, credentials, and publication dates.
MEDIUM: No AI brand monitoring detected for Costco. Set up regular monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini.
INFO: robots.txt is properly configured for AI crawlers. Continue monitoring for new bot user agents.
