Search & AI Notes

How the site is meant to be discovered and understood.

This page explains the search-facing and AI-facing decisions behind PhotoContest so users, crawlers, and answer engines can interpret the site with less ambiguity.

Search-first structure

The site uses crawlable links, canonical URLs, static event pages, sitemap and RSS feeds, and machine-readable metadata so search engines can find both the listing index and the supporting editorial pages.

AI-facing structure

Guide pages and note pages are written in self-contained paragraphs with explicit headings so answer engines can interpret the site scope, trust boundaries, and editorial role more accurately.

What is prioritized

Official organizer links over reposted summaries
Clear category, location, host, and timing fields
Dedicated static pages for site context, questions, and planning guidance
Internal links that connect the homepage, policy pages, and editorial guides

Why some content moved off the homepage

The homepage should help visitors choose opportunities quickly. Longer trust, FAQ, and SEO or GEO guidance now lives on dedicated pages so important selection decisions stay higher on the main screen.
