Then:

Read EVERY review of your top 5 competitors.
Document:

- Crawl errors: Fix broken links
- Blocked pages: Check robots.txt
Tell Claude:
"These pages have 404 errors [paste list].
Add redirects in vercel.json to fix them."
This means Google found duplicates. Tell Claude:
"Google shows these as alternate pages [paste list].
Ensure canonical tags are consistent."
Usually www vs non-www issues. Tell Claude:
"Add a redirect from www to non-www in vercel.json"
"Add these redirects to vercel.json:
/old-url → /new-url
/broken-page → /correct-page"
"Check mobile responsiveness and fix any issues GSC reports"
"GSC shows poor Core Web Vitals.
Optimize images and improve load speed."
If fonts break after adding redirects, tell Claude:
