## Dates — IMPORTANT
Never hardcode years or months in content.
Use: "Updated May 2026" format in bylines.
GitHub Action (.github/workflows/update-dates.yml) auto-updates dates on 1st of each month.
dateModified in Article schema is updated by the same action.

## Schema Requirements (every page)
- Product schema (already added)
- Article schema with author = James Whitfield
- FAQPage schema (min 5 questions per page)
- Organization schema (homepage only)
- WebSite schema with SearchAction (homepage only)

## SEO Rules
- Canonical: https://funcasino.top/page-name (no www, no trailing slash, no .html)
- All H2s phrased as questions for AEO/GEO
- NO sr-only hidden blocks — cloaking risk. AEO content must be in visible FAQ accordion only
- Internal links use clean URLs without .html
- Min 5 FAQ questions per page
- Byline: "By James Whitfield · Updated [Month Year] · X min read"

## Deployment
git add -A && git commit -m "Description" && git push
Cloudflare Pages auto-deploys on push to main branch.

## Key Strategic Notes
- funcasino.top is a Tier 2 site (not a money site)
- Primary purpose: capture "fun casino" brand keyword traffic
- Fun Casino (funcasino.com) is a real UK casino — we review it honestly (6.8/10) and offer better alternatives
- GSC shows organic impressions after 18 days — "fun casino bonus code" at position 15, "fun casino bonus codes" at position 8
- Ticker on homepage uses animated CSS — no CoinGecko API yet (low traffic)
- OG image: og-image.jpg (1200×630) in root
