Discoverability

⚠ Search-engine basics ⚠ AI & agent discoverability

Polish 3

⚠ #16 Search-engine basics Polish

2 SEO gaps: title over 70 chars (search results truncate it); meta description over 160 chars (truncated in results)

Do this

Fix: shorten the <title> to ≤60 chars; trim the meta description to ≤160 chars.

Why we flagged this

Search engines and link-preview crawlers rely on these head tags and crawl directives to index your page and render its search snippet. Each gap quietly lowers how often you're found and how you look when you are.

⚠ #17 AI & agent discoverability Polish

Partial AI discoverability — has structured data (JSON-LD), missing llms.txt

Do this

Add a /llms.txt describing the project (llmstxt.org).

Why we flagged this

AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) and coding agents increasingly summarize and recommend tools to people who never visit your page. With no machine-readable description, they fall back to guessing from raw HTML — and are likelier to describe you vaguely or wrongly. Your robots.txt has no explicit AI-crawler policy — optional, but worth a deliberate decision.

⚠ #18 Alternatives & differentiation Polish LLM

Visitors will compare you to Ollama, ChatGPT / Claude (web), LM Studio, Open WebUI — your copy doesn't say how you differ

Do this

Add a short "how we're different" note (a sentence, or a small comparison) addressing: Ollama, ChatGPT / Claude (web), LM Studio, Open WebUI.

Why we flagged this

Alternatives a visitor would weigh, and an angle for each: - Ollama — Ollama is a CLI/backend for running local LLMs; Ekorbia adds a native desktop UI and productivity features (chat, prompt management, file indexing) on top of it. - ChatGPT / Claude (web) — Cloud-based AI chat requiring API keys and telemetry; Ekorbia offers privacy-first local operation with no external calls or data transmission. - LM Studio — Another local LLM desktop client; unclear from the profile whether Ekorbia differs in UI design, feature set (e.g., file indexing depth), or model ecosystem breadth. - Open WebUI — Web-based UI for Ollama models; Ekorbia is native desktop (not browser-based) and positions as a deeper 'productivity environment' with indexed files. The landing copy strongly emphasizes 'local, no cloud, no API keys' as core value, but does not explicitly name or contrast against ChatGPT, LM Studio, or other desktop clients to clarify what makes Ekorbia stand out functionally.
