data tool guide feature fix
  1. data feature

    Open data hub completes the trilogy + developers documentation

    UK Tax Codes 2026/27 dataset published as the third entry in the open data hub. Developer documentation page added at /developers/ with code samples in curl, Python and TypeScript. All three datasets now cross-reference each other via schema.org/Dataset.mentions, and the hub is typed as a DataCatalog for Google Dataset Search eligibility.

  2. feature

    Author entity verification — enriched Person + Organization schema

    Alex now exposes a Person entity with 39 knowsAbout topics, hasOccupation referencing UK location, nationality/homeLocation/workLocation as Country entities, and bidirectional links to the JobLabs Organization. Strengthens E-E-A-T signal across all 1,363 articles via @id reference.

  3. feature

    llms.txt + llms-full.txt — AI crawler citation files

    Implemented the llmstxt.org spec so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini can discover the site's high-citation reference content efficiently. llms.txt is a curated index; llms-full.txt is a dynamically generated full-content extract that pulls live from the salary and statutory rates data files.

  4. data

    UK Statutory Rates 2026/27 — second open dataset

    73 UK statutory rates across 19 categories — income tax, NI (employee/employer/self-employed), NLW/NMW by age, SSP/SMP/SPP/SAP, redundancy, pension auto-enrolment, state pension, student loan plans, ISA allowances, Marriage Allowance. JSON + CSV. CC BY 4.0.

  5. data

    UK Salaries 2026 — first open dataset launched

    30 UK roles × 8 cities × 4 seniority levels published under CC BY 4.0. Built from Reed.co.uk, Indeed UK, LinkedIn Talent Insights, the 2025 Robert Walters Salary Survey, Hays UK Salary Guide and ONS earnings data, cross-referenced against placements.

  6. feature

    Auto-emit BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on every page

    BaseLayout now derives BreadcrumbList JSON-LD from the URL path so every non-home page gets one without each template hard-coding its own schema. Closed an 80% schema-coverage gap (was 292/1481 pages, now 1480/1481).

  7. fix feature

    Per-page SEO quality pass — 0 duplicates, 96% fewer weak titles

    Built scripts/audit-page-seo.cjs which surfaces duplicate titles/descriptions, weak meta, bad H1 structure, missing alt text, thin content. Then drove the metrics to: 0 duplicate titles, 0 duplicate descriptions, 0 bad H1 pages, 0 missing alt, 0 thin content. Title template optimised so descriptive content fits Google's SERP cap.

  8. fix feature

    Internal-link equity overhaul — 0 orphans, 0 unreachable, 0 click-depth violations

    Built scripts/analyze-internal-links.cjs and scripts/validate-internal-links.cjs (now wired into npm run build). Drove orphan pages from 548 → 0, unreachable pages from 314 → 0, click-depth violations from 314 → 0. Added BrowseAllSiblings component to 26 cluster templates so every page is reachable in ≤3 clicks from /.

  9. guide fix

    Two missing pillar guides built — UK Employment Law + UK Salary Guide 2026

    Browser walkthrough caught /uk-employment-law-guide-2026/ returning 404 with 37 internal references pointing to it. Same for /uk-salary-guide-2026/. Both built as proper pillar guides with topic-area sections linking down to programmatic clusters.
