Using "google-official-seo-guide". How do I create a sitemap for my website?
Expected outcome:
A sitemap helps Google discover and index your pages. Create an XML sitemap following the sitemaps.org protocol. Include: page URLs, last modified dates, change frequency, and priority. Submit via Google Search Console. Avoid: listing non-canonical URLs, including blocked pages, or creating huge sitemaps over 50MB.
Using "google-official-seo-guide". Add structured data for a blog post
Expected outcome:
Here is JSON-LD structured data for a blog post:
```json
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BlogPosting",
"headline": "Your Post Title",
"image": ["https://example.com/image.jpg"],
"datePublished": "2024-01-15T08:00:00+08:00",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",

}
}
```

Security Audit
SafeThis skill consists entirely of markdown documentation files containing SEO guidance from Google's official documentation. All static scanner findings are false positives: (1) 'Weak cryptographic algorithm' alerts are triggered by JSON-LD schema.org examples in documentation; (2) 'Ruby/shell backtick execution' alerts are triggered by markdown code block formatting; (3) 'Hardcoded URL' alerts are legitimate Google documentation URLs. No executable code or security risks present.
