Canonical routes first
Scoped JSON-LD per page
Crawler files kept explicit
The work
The redesign started with the boring parts that protect traffic: a route registry, legacy migration map, metadata helpers, crawler files, and schema builders. That meant later pages could ship with canonical URLs and honest structured data without copying SEO logic into every file.
Why it matters
AI-ready website work is not only visual design. Crawlers, search engines, and AI answer systems need stable routes, useful page titles, clear content, and schema that matches what visitors can see. The foundation keeps those pieces centralised so the site can grow without drifting.
