Publish a new SEO page — checklist

Live pricing (ship only this)

1 · Intent

• One primary query written down (e.g. aidaide vs winscp)
• One slug / clean URL (/vs/winscp, /tutorial-…, /docs/…)
• Parent hub chosen: /ssh (outline) · /embedded (outline) · /tutorials · /vs · /docs · /faq

2 · Head + discoverability

• Unique <title> — primary query + AidaIDE
• Unique meta description — pricing only as Free forever / Pro $19/mo
• Canonical https://aidaide.app{path} (no .html in canonical)
• robots = index,follow (ops-only pages use noindex)
• OG + Twitter: title, description, image, og:url
• JSON-LD when it fits (WebPage, FAQPage, HowTo, SoftwareApplication, Article)

3 · Body + CTAs

• One H1 matching the primary query
• Honest content — no fake logos or invented quotes
• Screenshots from /screenshots/ with descriptive alt
• Internal links: spoke → hub → /pricing + /signup.html
• CTA: prefer Sign Up Free; direct exe must match download CTA policy version — never /#download

4 · Ship plumbing

• Add <url> to sitemap.xml with lastmod; image title/caption must not say $7
• Link from the hub page (and footer Resources on marketing landings)
• Flask clean URL in app.py only if local-dev needs it (Vercel cleanUrls handles production)
• Note on /changelog if the page is material
• Run node scripts/validate-manifest.mjs and npm run lint:download-ctas when CTAs change

5 · After deploy

• Hard-refresh live URL; confirm title/description in View Source
• GSC: request indexing for money pages — see /gsc-sitemap
• Team HQ proof: paste live https://aidaide.app/… link
