Area 1 of 10 in the UltimateSEO Framework v4.3
Integrity
Limits that no visibility, conversion or growth goal can override: no manufactured links, hidden content, cloaking or deceptive redirects, scaled filler, borrowed reputation, expired-domain abuse, hijacked navigation or fake functionality. All 7 controls are hard gates: a confirmed FAIL on any of them stops publication until it is fixed. The scan gives a partial signal for 1 and needs your evidence for 6.
