        "text": "Not every checklist item will apply to every page; trying to force them all can lead to unnecessary complexity and clutter.\n\nYour goal is to match the checklist to the page’s role: some are best suited for FAQs, others for how-to guides, and some for deep articles. Over-structuring can confuse both users and machines.\n\nKey factors:\n- Page intent (quick answer vs. in-depth resource vs. comparison)\n- Content length and format\n- Relevance of rich schema types (FAQ, HowTo, Article, Speakable, LocalBusiness)\n- User expectations for that topic or funnel stage\n\nAdapt your AEO checklist into page-type variants and choose the one that fits each URL. This selective application keeps optimization lean and purposeful, which answer engines reward with better extraction and citation quality.",
