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

Warning

Thin / duplicate tag & filter pages indexed

Faceted URLs (?sort=, ?color=, /tag/*) are indexable and cannibalize category authority.

Service fix:Index & Sitemap Controls

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
