What exactly this criterion covers

This criterion is subtle… until it blocks SEO performance.

**Y10 — Markdown Content for LLMs** (Chapter 22 - Fundamental AI SEO): Clean text versions of important pages

Why it matters (SEO + UX)

Why it matters: it is a lever for CTR and perception in SERP. When poorly applied, we often observe: ambiguity (wrong associated query), duplication between pages, or loss of performance on rankings.

On volume-generated sites, this criterion also serves as a **safeguard**: a stable rule prevents 1,000 errors at once.

How to verify (step by step)

Approach: tool-assisted test (validator / performance). Recommended tool: **AnswerThePublic**.

  1. Open the source code and locate the concerned element (tag/structure).
  2. Check the hierarchy and consistency with H1 + intro.
  3. Run a crawl to detect pages violating the criterion.

Tip: first isolate 10 “representative” URLs (top pages + generated pages) before scaling the correction.

How to properly correct

Strategy: repair, re-crawl, and monitor in Search Console.

  • Rewrite the plan: clear H1, H2 = sub-questions, H3 = details.
  • Add a differentiating element (scope, method, example) to avoid duplication.
  • Check consistency with intent (info / comparison / action).

Then: re-crawl 50–200 URLs, then monitor Search Console for 7–14 days (impressions/CTR/indexing).

Concrete example (illustrative)

Example (illustrative):

  • **Context**: category page for aesthetic clinic in Marseille
  • **Before**: generic H1 + sections without hierarchy (incoherent H2/H3).
  • **After**: intent-oriented H1 + H2 by sub-questions (case: category page — aesthetic clinic).
  • **Note**: Goal: make the plan “scannable” and aligned with intent.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions — Y10

What is the most common mistake on “Markdown Content for LLMs”?

Applying an overly generic automatic pattern (same logic on all pages) without adding a differentiating element.

What is the fastest tool to check at scale?

For this type of criterion, a crawl (e.g. Screaming Frog) + targeted verification in AnswerThePublic is generally the fastest combo.

How to prevent this from happening again on 10K generated pages?

Freeze an auto-generation rule (title/structure/schema/URLs) + add automatic control (crawl or test) before production import.
