About or team page exists
Why it matters
AI systems assess trustworthiness partly through operator transparency — a site with a dedicated /about page identifying who runs the product ranks higher on E-E-A-T signals that feed into citation decisions. A site with no about page looks anonymous, which generative engines treat as a trust risk and deprioritize when answering high-stakes queries about purchasing, compliance, or professional advice.
Severity rationale
Low because operator identification contributes to trust signals but is not gating for most AI citations.
Remediation
Create a dedicated about, team, or company page with at least 50 words identifying who operates the product and why. Link it from the site footer or primary navigation so crawlers and users can reach it. Create src/app/about/page.tsx.
