What Makes This Theme Different?

Unlike other Astro themes that treat SEO as an afterthought, this theme was architectured from the ground up with three pillars:

1. Technical SEO: Automatic JSON-LD, dynamic meta tags, sitemap, canonical URLs, and hreflang support.
2. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Structured content that AI search engines can parse, cite, and recommend.
3. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): Content formatting optimized for Featured Snippets and zero-click results.
