## 💡 Key Recommendations

Enterprise Suite + GSC Integration are critical for enterprise customers. Current partial implementations need completion.

### 2. Integrate Readability into On-Page Analyzer
Rather than creating a separate tool, enhance existing service with readability metrics.

**Action**: 1-2 day sprint

### 3. Defer Image Optimization
Currently low business value. Can add later if customers request.

**Action**: Backlog for Phase 2C

### 4. Build Schema Markup Service
Valuable for rich snippets but lower priority than orchestration/GSC.

**Action**: Include in Phase 2B planning

### 5. Improve Enterprise Documentation
Create detailed guides for new enterprise features.

**Action**: Parallel to development

## 📞 Questions & Answers

A: Prioritization ensures we deliver the most valuable features first. Phase 2A (Enterprise + GSC) provides 80% of the business value.

**Q: What about image optimization?**  
A: Lower priority. Can be added later if customers request it. Core SEO analysis is more valuable.

**Q: Should we migrate text readability as a separate tool?**  
A: No. Better to integrate into On-Page analyzer as an additional content quality metric.

**Q: Timeline seems aggressive. Is it realistic?**  
A: With 2 dedicated developers, Phase 2A is achievable in 2 weeks. Estimates based on similar past projects.

**Q: What's the business value of each tool?**  
A: Enterprise Suite = audit capability; GSC = search intelligence; Schema = rich snippets; Readability = content quality; Image = performance optimization
