Site Audit — Sharing as a Friend
Every issue we found during our audit — and exactly how we fixed it in the redesign.
Missing Open Graph image
✅ Fixed in RedesignNo og:image tag — social shares on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack display no preview image.
✓ How we fixed it: New custom 1200×630 Open Graph image built with the Aladdin logo, brand blue gradient, heritage tagline, and "3rd Generation Family Business" messaging.
Missing Twitter Card tags
✅ Fixed in RedesignOnly twitter:card was set. Missing title, description, and image — X/Twitter shares looked broken.
✓ How we fixed it: Full Twitter Card metadata configured on every page with title, description, and the custom OG image.
No LocalBusiness structured data
✅ Fixed in RedesignMissing LocalBusiness schema meant no address, phone, hours, or geo coordinates for Google's rich results.

No sitemap in robots.txt
✅ Fixed in RedesignThe robots.txt file didn't declare the XML sitemap, making it harder for search engines to discover all pages.
✓ How we fixed it: Dynamic robots.ts and sitemap.ts auto-generate on every build with all 8 pages, proper priorities, and weekly change frequency.
/team/ page returns 404
✅ Fixed in RedesignVisitors searching for leadership info hit a dead page. No bios for Carrie Collins or any team member.
✓ How we fixed it: Full /team page with 3-generation leadership profiles, generation badges, founder legacy section, and bio highlights.
Only 1 testimonial on entire site
✅ Fixed in RedesignJust one brief testimonial (Alex P.) with no ratings. Competitors show dozens of reviews.
✓ How we fixed it: Database-backed testimonial system with star ratings, featured badges, and dedicated /testimonials page.
Zero ADA compliance — no accessibility features
✅ Fixed in RedesignThe current site has absolutely no ADA compliance. No accessibility widget, no font controls, no contrast options, no motion reduction, no dyslexia-friendly font, and no accessibility statement. This exposes the business to legal risk under ADA Title III.
✓ How we fixed it: Full ADA-compliant accessibility suite built from scratch — WCAG 2.1 AA widget with 5 controls: Text Size (4 presets), High Contrast toggle, Underline Links toggle, Reduce Motion toggle, and Readable/Dyslexia-Friendly Font toggle.

No Knowledge Hub or guides
✅ Fixed in RedesignNo educational content, maintenance tips, or installation guides. Massive missed SEO and traffic opportunity.

Generic meta description
✅ Fixed in RedesignCurrent description misses key differentiators — no mention of "3rd generation," "Made in USA," or "1,400+ parts."
✓ How we fixed it: Keyword-optimized meta descriptions on every page highlighting USPs, part counts, and heritage.
Duplicate About vs Our Story content
✅ Fixed in RedesignTwo pages (/about/ and /our-story/) with nearly identical content diluting SEO value.
✓ How we fixed it: Consolidated into a single /about page with interactive timeline, origin story, mission, and values — eliminating duplicate content.
