Say the real status

If an app is live on one platform and pending on another, the page should say that plainly. Search metadata, schema, and visible copy should tell the same story.

Cover the trust paths

Support, privacy, terms, app icons, canonical URLs, robots, sitemaps, and contact paths are small details, but together they make the product feel maintained.

Match metadata to content

Titles, descriptions, Open Graph images, schema, and internal links should describe what the user can actually see and do on the page.
