Why it matters
Answer engines need more than a keyword. They need a page whose main content, entity, language, dates, author, and supporting sources are easy to isolate and interpret.
How it works
FixWeb derives nine signals from each rendered snapshot: question-style headings or QA schema, Organization or Person plus sameAs, a main landmark, one-level heading hierarchy, html lang, a valid publication or modification date, an author, at least 300 words, and an outbound citation. Pages below 70 are reported with their missing signals.
Site impact
Unclear page structure and missing attribution make otherwise useful information harder to summarize accurately. Weak entity and freshness cues can also leave a factual answer without enough context to trust or cite.
How to improve
Use one H1 and an orderly outline, put a direct answer or genuine FAQ/HowTo structure near the top, and expose the primary content in main. Add real Organization or Person identity links, visible authors and dates, substantive copy, and citations that support the claims.
