🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A CLI tool that integrates into CI/CD pipelines to block builds with broken SEO metadata
  2. An automated monitoring service that alerts developers immediately when critical meta tags or assets return 404s
  3. An AI-integrated agent that audits SEO compliance during the code editing process
