- **Status:** Ready for manual review

## 🎯 Immediate Next Steps

### Step 1: Collect Missing SERP Features (Optional)

Some posts are missing `serp-features.json` files. These can be collected if needed:

```bash
# Collect SERP features for Tier 1 posts (if credits available)
php v2/scripts/blog/collect-post-serp-features.php --limit=20
```

**Note:** This is optional - FAQs can be generated without SERP features, but PAA questions won't be available.

### Step 2: Manual Review of Tier 1 FAQs

**Priority Order:**

1. **High Priority (Scores < 35/100):**

   - `lexikon/24-stunden-schicht` (33.6/100)
   - `lexikon/industrieminuten` (34.3/100)
   - `ratgeber/dienstplan-erstellen` (34.9/100)

2. **Medium Priority (Scores 35-40/100):**

   - 7 posts with scores 35-40/100

3. **Lower Priority (Scores > 40/100):**
   - Remaining Tier 1 posts

**Review Process:**

1. Use `TIER1_MANUAL_REVIEW_GUIDE.md` for detailed guidance
2. Use `FAQ_MANUAL_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md` for checklist
3. Review quality report: `FAQ_QUALITY_REPORT.md`

**Review Focus:**

- Answer length (40-80 words)
- Keyword integration (primary + LSI)
- Natural language (no template phrases)
- Du tone consistency
- HTML formatting (should be fixed, but verify)

### Step 3: Regenerate Low-Scoring FAQs

For posts with scores < 35/100, consider regenerating:

```bash
# Regenerate specific post
php v2/scripts/blog/regenerate-tier1-faqs.php --post=24-stunden-schicht --category=lexikon

# Or regenerate answers only (if questions are good)
php v2/scripts/blog/generate-faq-answers-optimized.php --post=24-stunden-schicht --category=lexikon --use-ai
php v2/scripts/blog/enhance-faq-quality.php --post=24-stunden-schicht --category=lexikon --fix-html --remove-duplicates
```

### Step 4: Update Review Progress

After reviewing each post:

```bash
# Update review progress
php v2/scripts/blog/track-faq-review-progress.php --update
```

**Statuses:**

- `Generated` → `Reviewed` (after manual review)
- `Reviewed` → `Approved` (after approval)
- `Approved` → `Published` (after adding to post)

### Step 5: Add Approved FAQs to Posts

After approval, add FAQs to post JSON files:

```bash
# Add FAQs to post
php v2/scripts/blog/add-faqs-to-post.php --post=slug --category=category
```

### Step 6: Validate Schema

Before publishing, validate FAQPage schema:

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