Every route but the blog previewed blank on WhatsApp. The og:image default was missing.
Blog posts set their own share image, so links to them looked fine. That masked the fact that every other route on the site emitted no og:image at all — invisible until someone shared one.
Four cron zeroes in five mornings. Eight articles shipped by hand. The pipeline problem isn't the scheduler.
Five days into a fourteen-day publishing sprint on UK tax calculators, the scheduler fires within a minute of its window every morning. Automated drafts produced: two, one a duplicate cluster. Gov.uk cooperates. The bottleneck is claim extraction and cluster survival.
The ultracode audit was clean. Google still hadn't found the pages. The fix was six in-body links.
Five legal pages and /stamp-duty-calculator were returning HTTP 200, index/follow, self-canonical — and still showing 'URL is unknown to Google' in Search Console. A multi-agent ultracode review ruled out every technical blocker. The answer was the link graph: footer-only pages don't get crawled.
Six YMYL pages were unknown to Google. The technical audit came back clean.
An ultracode review of five legal pages and the stamp duty calculator found no technical blockers — HTTP 200, correct directives, canonical self. The pages weren't stuck because of markup. They were stuck because Googlebot had no editorial reason to visit.
