Our suggested order: biggest obstacles first, quickest first among equals. The effect of each fix is not measured. 3 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 12 pages on 2026-11-12 · each finding is what we saw on those pages; “what to do”, the score and the order are our judgment
The http:// version of the site still answers on its own, so some visitors and links stay on an insecure copy.
What to do: Redirect every http:// address to its https:// equivalent with a permanent (301) redirect.
For an Apache server, add to the top of the .htaccess file. Many hosts also offer this as a switch called “Force HTTPS”.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]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": "whatsapp.com",
"url": "https://www.whatsapp.com",
"logo": "https://www.whatsapp.com/your-logo.png"
}
</script>“Use WhatsApp Messenger to stay in touch with friends and family. WhatsApp is free and offers simple, secure, reliable messaging and calling,…”
What to do: Aim for 70 to 160 characters so it is specific but not cut off.
How to fix this: How to write page titles and meta descriptionsPages with little text rarely rank for anything beyond the brand name.
What to do: Add useful text: what you offer, who it is for, prices, answers to common questions.
How to fix this: Thin content: what it is and how to fix itrobots.txt tells these assistants to stay out, so they cannot read or cite your pages. That is a legitimate choice, but it removes you from their answers.
What to do: If you want to appear in AI answers, remove the Disallow rules for these crawlers in robots.txt.
Only if you want those assistants' search to be able to cite you. Add to robots.txt and remove the matching Disallow lines. Training crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot) are separate and can stay blocked. Google-Extended is a separate choice: allowing it lets Gemini both ground answers in your pages and train on them.
User-agent: PerplexityBot Allow: /
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 descriptionsWhen pages share a title, search engines cannot tell which one to show, and searchers cannot tell them apart.
What to do: Rewrite each title so it describes that page specifically.
Pages under about 200 words rarely rank for anything.
What to do: Expand these pages with useful detail, merge them into a stronger page, or hide them from search.
Without 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 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",
"name": "whatsapp.com",
"url": "https://www.whatsapp.com",
"logo": "https://www.whatsapp.com/your-logo.png"
}
</script>Links shared on X will show as plain text.
What to do: Add a twitter:card meta tag (summary_large_image works for most pages).
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="WhatsApp | Secure and Reliable Free Private Messaging and Calling"> <meta property="og:description" content="Describe this page in one or two sentences."> <meta property="og:url" content="https://www.whatsapp.com/"> <meta property="og:image" content="https://www.whatsapp.com/your-preview-image.png"> <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
Assistants quote pages that state a question and answer it plainly. This page has no question-style headings.
What to do: Add a short section of real customer questions as headings, each answered in two or three sentences.
How to fix this: AI search readiness: how to be found by AI assistantsAn 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.

What to do: Create a conversion action in Google Ads and add the tag, or import conversions from Analytics.
