## Recent Updates
- 2026-05-02: Major internal-linking + sitemap push to address GSC "URL is unknown to Google" status on the /menu-on hub and several /menus-for spokes. Shipped: (1) "Where to Put Your Menu" callout on 12 of 13 blog posts linking to /menu-on + 3 channel spokes (48 new internal links). (2) "Related Guides" callout on all 13 blog posts linking to /menus-for + /menus-for/cafes + /menus-for/food-trucks + /glossary + /tools/qr-generator (65 new links). (3) "Related Reading" callout on 11 hub spokes (industry + surface) linking back to 5 universal blog posts (55 new spoke→blog links — full bidirectional cluster). (4) Sitewide footer now surfaces /menus-for, /menu-on (label corrected to "Menu Distribution Channels"), /compare, /blog, /glossary on every page. (5) /menu-on/instagram-bio JSON repair (unescaped href from prior shell-escape regression). (6) Per-step image fallback on blog HowToStep schema (eliminated 4 of 12 schema warnings). (7) New focused sub-sitemap at /sitemap-menu-on.xml — 4 URLs only — submitted alongside main sitemap in robots.txt. (8) IndexNow ping for 23 URLs (13 blogs + 10 dormant). Database-wide JSON validation: 0 invalid records across 12 candidate columns (cms_pages, menu_items, menus, user_events, error_logs, qr_codes, magic_links, email_triggers).
- 2026-05-01: 301 redirect for typo-defense alias menusjo.com → menujo.com. Both /_redirects (Pages edge) and hooks.server.ts (security hook) handle the redirect. Path and query string preserved.
- 2026-04-30: Blog SEO push — shipped 12 D1 migrations covering: backfill of signup_completed events for 13 users, unpublish of 3 cannibalized duplicate blogs, tightening of 23 spoke + 13 blog titles/descriptions to ≤60/≤155 chars, addition of external authority citations to 5 spokes (TTB, FDA, WhatsApp, Instagram, Brewers Association), restructured FAQ Q1 leads on breweries/qsr/cafes for AI Overview snippet extraction, blog cross-links to hub spokes, and AI-extractable TL;DR (134-167 word) + Key Takeaways (5-7 bullets) blocks added to every blog post with visible H2 anchors.
- 2026-04-29: Shipped 11 new hub spokes total — 5 compare (toast-alternative ~3,100w, gloriafood-alternative ~2,500w, finedine-alternative ~2,500w, flipdish-alternative ~2,600w, upmenu-alternative ~2,600w) and 6 industry (bars ~2,100w, qsr ~2,200w, ghost-kitchens ~2,100w, pizzerias ~2,000w, sushi-restaurants ~2,000w, ice-cream-shops ~1,900w). Each spoke uses semantic CMS blocks (text_content, comparison_table, how_to_steps, faq_list) and inherits Article + isPartOf=hub + FAQPage + HowTo + BreadcrumbList schema from spoke renderer. All 5 new compare spokes carry trademark/nominative-fair-use disclaimer. Also shipped /tools/qr-generator — free client-side restaurant QR code generator with custom colors, dot/corner styles, error correction, SVG and PNG download. Runs entirely in the browser, no signup, no upload, no watermark. SoftwareApplication + HowTo + FAQPage schema. Shipped /glossary — 75-term restaurant + menu + QR + compliance dictionary with DefinedTermSet schema (each term cited as DefinedTerm with @id anchor; alphabetical browsing + filterable category and text search). Trademark/nominative-fair-use disclaimer also added to /compare/menutiger-alternative (initial spoke). Editorial-policy and /about/ahmad-tayyem now emit datePublished/dateModified on AboutPage and ProfilePage. Blog hero images marked as primaryImageOfPage with explicit width/height/fetchpriority for LCP. Removed duplicate preconnects from SEO.svelte (already in app.html). Post-pivot stale "QR Menu Placement" framing cleaned across 3 spoke renderers.
- 2026-04-27: Pivoted /menu-on hub from QR sticker-placement framing to channel-distribution framing (the QR sizing math belongs to the sister product QRLynx; Menujo is a menu platform). Shipped 2 channel spokes: /menu-on/instagram-bio and /menu-on/google-business-profile. Spoke renderers now always emit dateModified and surface a visible byline + Published/Last-reviewed dates. Added "not legal advice" disclaimer to /menus-for/fine-dining (citations to California ADDE Act, FDA Food Code, EU 1169/2011, UK Natasha's Law). Sitemap diagnostic XML comment moved behind ?debug=1.
- 2026-04-26: Launched 3 SEO topic-cluster hubs and 5 spokes. Industry hub /menus-for shipped with 4 spokes (cafes, food-trucks, hotels, fine-dining). Comparison hub /compare shipped with 1 spoke (menutiger-alternative). Surface/channel hub /menu-on shipped (no spokes day one). 3 new high-intent blog posts also shipped (qr-code-menu-generator-free, digital-menu-for-food-trucks, menujo-vs-menutiger). Each hub aggregates spoke pages stored in cms_pages with category='industry'|'surface'|'alternative'.
- 2026-04-26: Expanded structured data graph (Organization sameAs, AggregateOffer, ProfilePage, BreadcrumbList on subpages); activated full Content-Security-Policy; tightened 404 handling; added per-tool SoftwareApplication and Restaurant schema for public menus.
- 2026-04-12: Initial llms.txt published; AI crawlers explicitly allowed in robots.txt.
