   - Review each new page using `PRODUCT_UPDATES_LLMS_REVIEW_CHECKLIST.md`
   - Add to appropriate file(s) using `PRODUCT_UPDATES_LLMS_PROCESS.md`

2. **Review New Blog Posts**
   - Check `sitemap-blog.xml` for new posts
   - Prioritize high-value posts (Inside Ordio, popular Ratgeber, Lexikon entries)
   - Add to `llms-full.txt` (all posts)
   - Add top 10-15 to `llms.txt` (curated selection)

3. **Review New Comparison Pages**

4. **Update Dates**
   - Update "Last Updated" dates in headers

   - Verify ACAO framework compliance
   - Enhance entries missing ACAO components

## Quality Standards

### ACAO Framework (Required)
Every entry MUST include:
- **(Action)** - What the user does
- **(Context)** - Background/conditions/audience
- **(Advantage)** - Benefits/value proposition
- **(Outcome)** - Measurable results/success metrics

### Semantic Richness (Required)
Every entry SHOULD include:
- Entity mentions (Ordio, Deutschland, DACH-Region)
- Metrics (customer counts, article counts, time savings)
- Specific details (platforms, integrations, features)

### Format Standards (Required)
- Absolute URLs (https://www.ordio.com/...)
- No trailing slashes (match sitemap format)
- Proper type tags ([PRODUCT:], [GUIDE:], [COMPARISON:], etc.)
- **Blog tags:** `[TYPE: YYYY-MM-DD | CategoryLabel]` or `[TYPE: CategoryLabel]` (Lexikon, Ratgeber, Inside Ordio)
- Consistent section ordering

## Tools and Scripts

### Validation Scripts
- **URL Validation** (periodic only – slow): `python3 v2/scripts/llms/validate-llms-urls.py --file both`
- **Content Validation:** `python3 v2/scripts/llms/validate-llms-content.py --file both --sample 20`
- **Tag Format Validation:** `python3 v2/scripts/llms/validate-llms-content.py --check-tags` – verifies blog entries use `[TYPE: YYYY-MM-DD | CategoryLabel]`

### Analysis Scripts
- **Coverage Check:** Compare sitemap URLs vs LLMS URLs
- **Duplicate Check:** Verify no duplicate entries
