If your goal is **to maximize Google SEO and increase the chances of AI systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini,
etc.) citing your website**, I'd implement the following.

## P0 (Must Have)

* Allow AI crawlers in `robots.txt` (remove blocks for `GPTBot`, `Google-Extended`, etc.)
* `BlogPosting` schema for every blog post
* `Person` schema on your homepage
* Unique `<title>` and `
  <meta description>` for every page
  * Canonical URL on every page
  * Open Graph tags

  * `og:title`
  * `og:description`
  * `og:image`
  * `og:url`
  * Twitter Card tags (except `twitter:site` since you don't have X)
  * Proper H1 on every page
  * One topic per page
  * XML sitemap
  * Fast loading images using WebP
  * Image width and height attributes to reduce CLS

  ## P1 (Highly Recommended)

  * `BreadcrumbList` schema for blog posts
  * FAQ section with `FAQPage` schema where appropriate
  * Add a 40 to 60 word answer summary immediately after the H1
  * `datePublished`
  * `dateModified`
  * Author information
  * Reading time
  * Related posts section
  * Internal links between articles
  * Consistent canonical URLs (avoid `/index.html` vs `/` mismatch)

  ## P2 (Nice to Have)

  * `SpeakableSpecification` schema
  * `ContactPoint` schema
  * Social sharing image at **1200 × 630 px**
  * RSS feed
  * Search box (`WebSite` SearchAction schema)

  ## Blog Template Should Include

  For every article:

  * Title
  * Meta description
  * Canonical URL
  * Open Graph tags
  * Twitter Card
  * `BlogPosting` JSON-LD
  * Breadcrumb schema
  * H1
  * Summary paragraph (40 to 60 words)
  * Author
  * Published date
  * Modified date
  * Reading time
  * Table of contents (for long articles)
  * Proper H2/H3 structure
  * Image alt text
  * Related articles
  * Previous/Next article links

  ## Homepage Should Include

  * `Person` schema
  * `WebSite` schema
  * `WebPage` schema
  * Professional H1 containing your primary keyword (for example, "A.M. Rinas | Software Engineer")
  * Links to your latest blog posts

  ## robots.txt

  Instead of blocking AI bots, allow them.

  ```
  User-agent: *
  Allow: /

  Sitemap: https://rinas.tech/sitemap.xml
  ```

  Do **not** include:

  ```
  User-agent: GPTBot
  Disallow: /

  User-agent: Google-Extended
  Disallow: /
  ```

  if your goal is AI visibility.

  ## I'd skip

  * `twitter:site` (no X account)
  * `Organization` schema (you're an individual, so `Person` is more appropriate)
  * Anything Next.js or Strapi specific

  ## Final checklist

  * AI-friendly `robots.txt`
  * XML sitemap
  * Person schema
  * WebSite schema
  * WebPage schema
  * BlogPosting schema
  * Breadcrumb schema
  * FAQ schema (when applicable)
  * Title
  * Meta description
  * Canonical
  * Open Graph tags
  * Twitter Card
  * 1200 × 630 social image
  * H1 with keywords
  * Summary paragraph after H1
  * Published and modified dates
  * Author
  * Reading time
  * Related posts
  * Internal links
  * Image alt text
  * Image width and height
  * Consistent URLs
  * Fast WebP images

  That set covers essentially all of the high value SEO, AEO, and GEO improvements that make sense for a static GitHub
  Pages blog and portfolio.
