4 issues our SEO / GEO / AEO service team can repair

Critical

No AI answer-engine tuning

Pages have no FAQPage, HowTo, or QAPage schema and no llms.txt, so ChatGPT / Perplexity / Google AI Overviews rarely cite the domain even when it ranks.

Service fix:AEO / Answer Engine Tuner

Warning

DOM size > 3,000 nodes

Heavy DOM inflates INP and blocks main-thread interactivity — a Core Web Vital that will impact rankings.

Service fix:Content Quality & Performance Hints

Warning

OpenGraph images inconsistent

Several high-traffic pages fall back to a generic og:image or none at all, hurting share CTR on LinkedIn, X, and Slack unfurls.

Service fix:Social Media Meta Manager

Critical

LCP over 2.5s on mobile

Above-the-fold hero images ship uncompressed and blocking third-party JS delays paint. Core Web Vitals failing = lost rankings after March 2024 update.
