One clear H1 headingOne main heading tells search engines what the page is about. None or several is ambiguous.

At least 300 words on the pageA page with almost no words gives search engines nothing to match a search against.
llms.txt or AGENTS.md for AI searchPlain text files that tell ChatGPT and Perplexity what your business does. Almost nobody in Austin has one yet.
