v1.11.0
29 August 2026 Business Card Service A new business card service with a live self-serve builder and paid design, plus contact-form improvements and an admin fix.

v1.10.0
30 August 2026 SEO Audit Engine v4 A more accurate audit engine: real structured-data parsing, sharper AI-readiness scoring, and new agent-interoperability signals. Scores from v4 are measured differently to earlier versions, so a v4 score is not directly comparable to an older one.
More accurate structured data
- ~ Structured-data checks now parse your JSON-LD properly instead of pattern-matching the page — no more false credit for a schema type that only appears in body text
- + Malformed JSON-LD is now flagged (it wins no rich results); recognises Restaurant/Store/ProfessionalService as local business types
Sharper AI readiness
- ~ Consolidated the llms.txt checks into a single, clearer signal
- + Added Content Signals and Link Header detection
- + New non-scoring signals recorded for research: renderability (can an assistant read the page without JavaScript?) and agent interoperability (WebMCP)
v1.9.0

Client reviews

- + Reviews section only appears once there are real reviews to show — no empty placeholders
- ~ Replaced placeholder testimonials with genuine, verified reviews
New Clients page

/clients/ page with a project showcase, added to the main navigation - + First case study: J D Sutcliffe — Heritage Stonemason, built and launched in two weeks
- + Highlights the SEO and AI-readiness (llms.txt, structured data) we build into every site
SEO Audit — WebMCP agent readiness
- + New WebMCP checks in the AI Readiness category:
/.well-known/webmcp manifest, declarative tool markup, and imperative registration detection - ~ Re-tuned scoring weights so the new checks are reflected fairly
Fixes & housekeeping
- ~ xCrypto24 links now point directly to the live app at xcrypto24.com
- ✓ Fixed an audit error on newer installs (missing provisional-score columns)
v1.4.1
4 August 2026 369 AI Chatbot AI-powered SEO assistant built into the audit results page. Ask questions about your specific findings or get general SEO guidance.
369 AI Assistant
- + "Ask 369" button on every failed check — sends full issue context to the AI for step-by-step guidance
