TRUST_NO_OUTBOUND_CITATIONS

Long article cites no external sources

No automatic fix — this needs a manual change on your site

What this check looks at

Whether an article-like page of 600+ words links to no external site at all from its main content. Links marked nofollow, ugc or sponsored do not count, and the quality of the linked sites is not judged.

Why AI answer engines care

Citing primary sources shows the claims can be checked, which makes the page more credible to readers and AI engines.

Does Synviber fix it for me?

Not currently — this one needs a manual change on your own site or infrastructure; Synviber can detect it but does not publish an automatic fix for it today.

How to fix it manually
