Pre-release SEO backlog triage

What was done

  • Reviewed the SEO plan, deferred backlog, and static audit warnings.
  • Classified the flat /service-areas/<city>/ outputs as intentional noindex redirect pages rather than broken public pages.
  • Updated src/scripts/audit-site-quality.mjs so Astro redirect pages are treated as valid redirects and static .md / .well-known links are resolved as assets instead of false-positive HTML routes.
  • Restored /clients/eagle-cody-memo/ as a noindex client memo hub because the three child pages linked back to that missing parent route.
  • Added the Eagle/Cody/Kelli memo hub to /clients/.
  • Improved /about/[slug]/ metadata so team pages use bio-derived descriptions and avoid overlong role-based titles where possible.

Triage result

Fix before release:

  • Internal links that point to missing routes.
  • Redirect pages or audit rules that hide actual SEO signal behind noisy warnings.
  • Short/weak public metadata when it can be improved safely from existing approved copy.

Not release-blocking:

  • Historical devlog title length warnings.
  • FAQ title warnings that are only a few characters over the audit threshold and preserve the exact search-intent question.
  • Strategic content gaps from the SEO scoreboard, which require researched article work rather than quick technical cleanup.

Verification

  • npm run build passed.
  • node src/scripts/audit-site-quality.mjs passed with 0 failures.
  • Static audit warnings dropped from 76 to 49.
