Major Corrections
Removed fabricated AggregateRating schema markup
Pages affected: Approximately 10,000 provider and city pages
We identified and removed AggregateRating structured data that was not based on verified user reviews. This schema markup was present across approximately 10,000 pages and did not meet Google's guidelines requiring ratings to be based on actual user feedback. All affected pages were updated to remove the unsupported schema.
Deleted fabricated Texas city entries
Pages affected: 58 Texas city pages
We discovered 58 city pages for Texas locations that contained fabricated provider data not supported by FCC Broadband Data Collection filings. These entries were removed entirely from our database. Five legitimate Texas city pages were retained after verification against FCC BDC records.
Corrected fiber availability percentage from 44% to 57%
Pages affected: All city pages displaying fiber availability
Our national fiber availability percentage was displaying an outdated figure of 44%. After re-analyzing FCC Broadband Data Collection filings, the correct figure was updated to 57%, reflecting the latest data on fiber-to-the-premises deployments across the United States.
Removed ClaimReview structured data
Pages affected: ClaimReview schema pages
ClaimReview schema markup was being used on pages that did not meet Google's fact-check content guidelines. This structured data type is reserved for dedicated fact-checking articles by recognized fact-checking organizations. The markup was removed from all affected pages.
Minor Corrections & Updates
Migrated inline Article schema to centralized implementation
Pages affected: 12 guide and blog pages
Twelve pages had inline Article JSON-LD schema that was inconsistent with our centralized schema generation. These were migrated to use our standardized generateArticleSchemaWithPerson() function, ensuring consistent author attribution and structured data across all editorial content.
Reassigned content to correct content types
Pages affected: 44 database content entries
44 content entries in our database had incorrect content_type classifications, which affected how they were rendered and indexed. These were reassigned to their correct categories (guide, blog, comparison, etc.) to ensure proper template rendering and schema markup.
Added rel="sponsored" to all affiliate links
Pages affected: All pages with affiliate links
We audited all affiliate links across the site and added rel="sponsored" attributes where missing, in compliance with Google's link attribute guidelines and FTC disclosure requirements. This ensures proper identification of commercial relationships.
Corrected BEAD funding amounts
Pages affected: Multiple pages across all BEAD-related content
Several pages displayed incorrect Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program funding amounts for specific states. These were corrected to match the official NTIA allocation data.
Updated all meta descriptions to 120-160 character range
Pages affected: All pages site-wide
A site-wide audit identified meta descriptions that were either too short (under 120 characters) or too long (over 160 characters) for optimal SERP display. All descriptions were rewritten to fall within the 120-160 character guideline while maintaining accurate, descriptive summaries.
Fixed internal linking gaps across 6,743 pages
Pages affected: 6,743 under-linked pages
An internal linking audit identified 6,743 pages with insufficient internal links, reducing their discoverability and crawl efficiency. Approximately 27,500 relevant internal links were added to connect these pages to their topical clusters and pillar pages.
Ensured 100% author attribution across all published content
Pages affected: All pages site-wide
An audit revealed that some pages lacked proper author attribution. All published content was updated to include an author_slug (either pablo-mendoza or george-olfson), ensuring every page has a verified author byline and corresponding Person schema markup.
