Our suggested order: biggest obstacles first, quickest first among equals. The effect of each fix is not measured. 2 take minutes.
Step 1 · Organic
Everything here was observed on the site. Fixing it removes a known obstacle; no one can promise a specific ranking in return.
Observed · AdnaveBot's reading of 1 page on 2026-11-12 · each finding is what we saw on those pages; “what to do”, the score and the order are our judgment
There is no structured data, so an assistant has to guess what the business is from loose text.
What to do: Add schema.org markup for the organisation, plus the type that fits the page: Product, Service, Article, FAQPage or SoftwareApplication.
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Fill in the name and logo address.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "outlook.live.com",
"url": "https://outlook.live.com",
"logo": "https://outlook.live.com/your-logo.png"
}
</script>When someone shares the page, the preview will look bare or use the wrong image.
What to do: Add Open Graph tags: og:title, og:description and an og:image of 1200 × 630 pixels.
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Replace the image address with a picture of 1200 by 630 pixels.
<meta property="og:type" content="website"> <meta property="og:title" content="Microsoft Outlook Personal Email and Calendar | Microsoft 365"> <meta property="og:description" content="Describe this page in one or two sentences."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://outlook.live.com/mail/"> <meta property="og:image" content="https://outlook.live.com/your-preview-image.png"> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
A page should have one H1. Several of them blur what the page is about.
What to do: Keep one H1 and turn the others into H2 subheadings.
How to fix this: How to write page titles and meta descriptionsAs first delivered the page was nearly empty; in a browser it shows 7,152 words. Google usually runs scripts, though later and less reliably. Most AI assistants and several other search engines do not.
What to do: Have the site send its main text in the page itself (server-side rendering or pre-rendering).
These scripts must download and run before anything is shown.
What to do: Add defer or async to scripts in the page head, or move them to the end.
How to fix this: Core Web Vitals: how to make a slow website fastWithout a width and height, the page shifts as each image arrives. That is the layout shift Core Web Vitals penalise.
What to do: Add width and height attributes to every image tag.
How to fix this: Image SEO: alt text, file size and layout shiftA sitemap lists every page so search engines find them all, including new ones.
What to do: Generate a sitemap.xml and submit it in Google Search Console.
Save as sitemap.xml at the top level of the site, then submit https://outlook.live.com/sitemap.xml in Google Search Console. It lists only the pages this audit read; add the rest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url><loc>https://outlook.live.com/mail/</loc></url> </urlset>
A made-up address did not return a 404. Search engines can end up indexing endless empty pages.
What to do: Make the site answer unknown addresses with a 404 status and a helpful “page not found” page.
How to fix this: How to find and fix broken links on your websiteImages without alt text are invisible to search engines and to screen-reader users.
What to do: Add a short alt description to each meaningful image. Use an empty alt for purely decorative ones.
How to fix this: Image SEO: alt text, file size and layout shiftStructured data lets Google show extras such as ratings, prices, opening hours and FAQs in your result.
What to do: Add schema.org markup that fits the business (Organization, LocalBusiness, Product, FAQ).
Paste inside the <head> of the page. Fill in the name and logo address.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "Organization",

}
</script>An optional plain-text summary of the site for AI assistants. It is cheap to add, but there is no evidence yet that it changes how often a site is cited.
What to do: Optionally add /llms.txt with a short description of the site and links to its most important pages.
Optional. Save as llms.txt at the top level of the site. Edit the first lines to describe what you do.

Step 2 · Ads
Ads only pay off when the site can measure what they bring in. We look for tracking tags in the page code; tags that load later, through a consent banner or tag manager, will not show up here.
Without analytics you cannot see where visitors come from or what they do.
What to do: Set up Google Analytics 4 and add its tag to every page.
