HTML & Structured Markup

One page purpose carried by the title, headings, links, canonical, and schema, proven on the HTML the template actually renders.

Search engines and assistive technology don't read the design file. They read the HTML that actually renders, including the duplicate H1, empty link, stale canonical, or schema field nobody notices in the browser. We make the page's structure say what the page itself is trying to say.

We align titles, headings, links, canonicals, and structured data around one page purpose, then prove the live template keeps that meaning intact.

Stages and gates

How we do it

We start by finding the templates and who owns them, since one fix rarely helps just one page. From there we inspect what actually renders, agree on what the markup can honestly claim, and test real samples before anything ships wider.

  1. Find the templates and their owners

    We group URLs by actual template, rendering path, content source, and component ownership instead of auditing isolated pages one by one.

    A template register that shows where one fix can solve the same defect everywhere.

    AI assist
    AI compares DOM signatures across large URL sets and clusters pages by the template that actually renders them.
    Human gate
    The engineering lead confirms which team owns each template before a fix gets scheduled. Template-ownership confirmation

  2. Inspect what really renders

    We capture response HTML and browser DOM, then check titles, H1s, heading order, landmarks, links, images, canonical controls, and content that appears only after JavaScript runs.

    A defect map tied to the component or template that caused it.

    AI assist
    AI diffs response HTML against rendered DOM across every URL in the template and flags missing or duplicated titles, headings, and canonical tags.
    Human gate
    A specialist checks whether a flagged mismatch is a real defect or an intentional template variation. Defect triage

  3. Set the markup contract

    We choose supported schema types, map every property to a visible and owned source, and define what happens when the value is empty, stale, or not eligible.

    One specification that content, data, SEO, and engineering can all read the same way.

    AI assist
    AI matches candidate schema properties against the page's visible content and flags which properties currently lack a visible source.
    Human gate
    Content, data, and engineering owners agree which schema types the page can honestly support and what happens when a value is missing. Markup-contract sign-off

  4. Ship and test representative samples

    The change goes through the owning template, then we compare source HTML, rendered DOM, visible facts, canonical behavior, and validators across normal and edge cases.

    A live implementation that matches the accepted contract, with a rollback path if it doesn't.

    AI assist
    AI reruns the same validator and DOM comparison across the normal and edge-case sample set after every build.
    Human gate
    The template owner approves the release and confirms the rollback path before it reaches the rest of the site. Template-owner release approval

AI reads what renders at scale; people decide what the page can honestly claim.

AI compares DOM signatures across large URL sets to cluster pages by the template that actually renders them, diffs response HTML against rendered DOM to flag missing or duplicated titles, headings, and canonical tags, matches candidate schema properties against the page's visible content and flags the ones with no visible source, and reruns the validators and DOM comparison across normal and edge-case samples after every build. What the markup may claim is not its call. We do not emit fabricated ratings, reviews, authorship, prices, availability, events, or policy data, we never add hidden content to make a property look supported, we do not keep an ineligible type because a validator accepts its syntax, and we do not promise rich-result display.

Deliverables and acceptance

What you get

Page semantics stay tied to the template that actually emits them.

  • Architecture map

    Template markup register

    Accepted when

    Every in-scope URL maps to a tested template, rendering path, source, and implementation owner.

  • Decision matrix

    Semantic & eligibility matrix

    Accepted when

    Each row includes the live DOM example, affected template, severity, and why the markup is or isn't eligible.

  • Policy document

    Property-to-source contract

    Accepted when

    Every emitted property has a visible fact, one canonical source, an owner, and missing-value behavior.

  • Evaluation sheet

    Rendered validation pack

    Accepted when

    Source HTML, browser DOM, visible content, canonicals, and validators agree across normal and edge samples.

We call it done when: The template register, semantic matrix, property-to-source contract, and validation pack are done when every in-scope URL maps to a tested template, rendering path, source, and implementation owner, every matrix row carries its live DOM example, template, severity, and eligibility reason, every emitted property has a visible fact, one canonical source, an owner, and a missing-value behavior, and source HTML, browser DOM, visible content, canonicals, and validators agree across normal and edge samples.

Fit and readiness

When you need this

If a page only makes sense after CSS and JavaScript have done their best, the document underneath is doing too little.

A good fit when

  • Titles, H1s, headings, landmarks, or link text are inconsistent across a shared template, so the rendered document no longer carries one clear page purpose.
  • Canonical tags, metadata, and rendered page purpose don't reliably point to the same URL or intent.
  • Structured-data properties exist, but their visible source, owner, or stale-data behavior is unclear.

Better handled as other work when

  • You expect markup alone to earn a ranking or rich result while the visible page remains incomplete or contradictory.
  • The owning template can't be inspected or changed, and nobody can test the rendered HTML after release.

If one of these is closer to your situation, start here instead: On-Page SEO

We call it done when: Representative templates render a coherent document outline, links that mean something, correct canonical controls, and only the structured properties the visible page can honestly back up.

Before we start

Questions we hear

No. We choose properties that accurately describe visible facts, add useful meaning, and have a maintainable source. More markup is not automatically better markup.
