TL;DR Markup is a downstream decision. Which type a page deserves is a function of what the page is actually for. Write the answer first. Mark it up second. FAQPage markup pairs with a real FAQ block at the bottom…
TL;DR Proof on a landing page belongs in three specific zones, not scattered through the page. Random placement underperforms placement at decision moments. Hero-adjacent proof (logo bar, count, aggregate rating) answers "is this for me" before the buyer scrolls. The…
