RECOMMENDATIONS // THE WASHINGTON POST
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: FAQ and direct-answer markup is missing. Adding FAQ schema increases chances of appearing in AI Overviews and answer engines.
INFO: robots.txt is properly configured for AI crawlers. Continue monitoring for new bot user agents.
