## Next Steps: Manual Review

The following tasks require manual review and cannot be automated:

### 1. Review Posts Individually

**Process:**

1. Run comprehensive analysis for each post
2. Review analysis output
3. Check topic relevance of each FAQ
4. Identify and remove off-topic FAQs
5. Fix repetitive patterns
6. Remove/merge duplicates
7. Reorder FAQs logically
8. Validate changes
9. Document review

**Tools to Use:**

- `comprehensive-faq-analysis.php` - Run analysis
- `review-faq-quality-post-by-post.php` - Interactive review
- `fix-faq-quality-issues.php` - Automated fixes (with manual review)

**Prioritization:**

1. High-traffic posts (check GSC data)
2. Posts with most issues (from analysis)
3. Tier 1 posts (from existing priority list)
4. Tier 2 posts
5. Remaining posts

### 2. Manual Review & Editing

**Process:**

1. Use review workflow script
2. Manually edit JSON files for each post
3. Remove problematic FAQs
4. Rewrite questions if needed
5. Reorder FAQs logically
6. Validate changes

**Checklist Per Post:**

- [ ] All FAQs relevant to post topic (relevance ≥ 0.3)
- [ ] No repetitive nonsensical patterns
- [ ] No duplicate questions (similarity < 0.7)
- [ ] FAQs follow logical order
- [ ] Questions make grammatical/logical sense
- [ ] Answers are 40-80 words
- [ ] Primary keyword integrated naturally
- [ ] No Ordio questions on non-Ordio posts (unless relevant)

### 3. Validate After Fixes

**Scripts to Run:**

```bash
php v2/scripts/blog/validate-faq-quality.php --post=slug --category=category
php v2/scripts/blog/validate-faq-schema.php --post=slug --category=category
