Review the meaning and user purpose of repetition across surfaces. Counts and similarity flags can triage review but cannot diagnose a penalty or order automatic deletion. Preserve exact terminology where it is useful.

Evidence to review

  • Candidate-bound screenshots/DOM and annotated before/after review; include false-positive explanations, not only an automated score.

How to implement

  1. Read the candidate in context, on mobile and desktop where the change affects layout.
  2. Compare title, H1/H2, intro, body, link labels, alt text and footer together; review visible content against structured data.
  3. Distinguish forced keyword insertions from accurate product identifiers, branded navigation, legal wording and repeated table labels.
  4. Do not impose keyword-density percentages, ideal anchor ratios, mandatory answer length or a required count of schema types.
  5. Resolve each flag as an evidenced defect, justified legitimate pattern or unresolved concern; unresolved material concerns hold publication.
