6 issues

H1 heading

The page has 2 <h1> elements. There should be exactly one.

major

Fix: Demote all but the primary <h1> to <h2> to maintain a clear topic hierarchy.

Copy-paste fixExpand

<h1>Discover the Best Places to Live as a Digital Nomad</h1>

Image alt text

42 of 136 images are missing meaningful alt text.

major

Fix: Add descriptive alt attributes to every <img>. Use empty alt="" only for purely decorative images.

Title tag

Title is 73 characters — likely truncated in SERPs (≥ 65).

minor

Fix: Trim the title to under 60 characters so it displays in full.

Meta description

Meta description is 262 characters — will be truncated in SERPs.

minor

Fix: Trim the description to under 160 characters.

Copy-paste fixExpand

Heading hierarchy

Heading levels skip — e.g. an <h4> follows an <h1> with no <h2>/<h3> in between.

minor

Fix: Renumber headings so each level descends by at most one (h1 → h2 → h3 …).

Image dimensions

71 of 136 images lack explicit width/height. Causes layout shift (CLS).

minor

Fix: Add width and height attributes to all <img> tags so the browser can reserve space.

Canonical tag

Canonical: https://nomads.com/.

minor

Robots meta

Page is indexable.

minor

Open Graph & Twitter tags

Social meta tags present.

Page has 69 internal link(s).

7 issues

Question-framed headings

No H2 or H3 headings are phrased as questions. AI engines retrieve on query-passage similarity — question headings are the strongest match signal.

major

Fix: Rewrite 2–4 section headings as direct questions users would ask (e.g. "How do I…?", "What is…?", "Why does…?").

Copy-paste fixExpand

1. What is the item name of this product?

Direct-answer block after question headings

No question headings found, so there are no direct-answer blocks to evaluate.

major

Fix: Add question headings (see previous check), then place a short 40–300 character declarative answer paragraph immediately after each.

Entity schema (Organization/Person + sameAs)

major

Article schema with dates

No Article / NewsArticle / BlogPosting schema found. Without machine-readable dates, LLMs treat content as undated and prefer fresher sources.

major

Fix: Add an Article JSON-LD block with datePublished, dateModified, and author.name.

Author + credentials

No visible author name. AI engines prefer cited content with identifiable authors (E-E-A-T).

major

Fix: Add a visible byline and link to an author bio page.

Visible last-updated date

No visible or machine-readable last-updated date on the page. 89% of AI crawl hits target content updated within 3 years.

major

Fix: Add a visible "Last updated: <date>" line and corresponding dateModified in schema.

Chunk length between headings

Average chunk ≈ 1833 words — too long. Ahrefs found 120–180 word chunks get +70% more citations.

minor

Fix: Break long sections with additional H3 sub-headings to create smaller, retrievable chunks.

AI crawler access

robots.txt does not block known AI crawlers.

critical

FAQPage schema (when Q&A exists)

Not applicable — the page doesn't have structured Q&A content.

4 issues

Structured lists or tables

No lists (≥3 items) or tables on the page. AI Overviews cite list- and table-structured content disproportionately often.

major

Fix: Convert at least one section into a bullet or numbered list, or a table with headers.

Entity sameAs cross-links

Organization schema has sameAs but no Wikipedia or Wikidata link. Wikipedia is ChatGPT's #1 citation source.

major

Fix: Add Wikipedia and/or Wikidata URLs to the sameAs array.

Authoritative outbound links

68 external links, but none to authoritative sources (.gov/.edu/Wikipedia/journals).

minor

Fix: Replace or supplement with links to at least one authoritative domain.
