    Hypothetical standard operating procedure

    Adapt this example to your site, access, tools, and change process. It is our suggested procedure, informed by the sources below.

    1. Audit page source for proper heading hierarchy and semantic HTML tags.
    2. Rewrite content to organize ideas into clearly defined sections with descriptive headings.
    3. Avoid skipping heading levels and use question-form headings when appropriate.
    4. Limit paragraphs to concise, self-contained claims or facts.

    Watch for

    Poorly structured content and missing headings reduce content clarity and AI extractability.
