Release Notes - Enhanced SEO & Screenshot Automation

🚀 Major Improvements

📊 Custom JSON-LD Structured Data Hook

We've replaced the generic Ultralytics JSON-LD implementation with a custom, intelligent hook specifically designed for our IDP vendor directory. This dramatically improves how search engines understand and index our content.

Key Features:

🎯 Smart Content Type Detection

• Organization Schema for vendor profile pages with full contact information
• NewsArticle Schema for vendor news with semantic relationships
• TechArticle Schema for capability documentation
• WebPage Schema for general content

🔗 Enhanced Entity Linking

• about property links news articles directly to vendor organizations
• sameAs property connects vendor pages to official company websites
• Full postal addresses, emails, and phone numbers for better local SEO
• Creates clear semantic relationships between content and real companies

📅 Accurate Git-Based Timestamps

• datePublished: First git commit timestamp (ISO 8601 with timezone)
• dateModified: Last git commit timestamp (ISO 8601 with timezone)
• Format: "2025-08-03 18:40:21 +0200" (preferred by Google)

🏢 Automatic Company Information Extraction
The hook intelligently parses vendor pages to extract:

• Company website → sameAs property (crucial for entity merging)
• Email address → email property
• Phone number → telephone property
• Physical address → structured PostalAddress object

Example: Enhanced NewsArticle Schema

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "NewsArticle",
  "headline": "Abbyy News: 2025-09-04 to 2025-10-02",
  "url": "https://idp-software.com/vendors/abbyy/2025-10-02/",
  "datePublished": "2025-10-02 14:23:15 +0000",
  "dateModified": "2025-10-15 09:42:31 +0000",
  "about": {
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "Abbyy",
    "url": "https://idp-software.com/vendors/abbyy/"
  },
  "author": [{
    "@type": "Organization",
    "name": "IDP Software",
    "url": "https://idp-software.com"
  }],
  "publisher": {...},
  "description": "Recent news and updates about ABBYY",
  "articleSection": "vendor-news",
  "keywords": "news, vendor, abbyy"
}

📸 Intelligent Screenshot Automation

Completely revamped screenshot.py with smart detection and interactive verification.

What's New:

🔍 Triple-Check Screenshot Detection

1. Assets folder exists?
2. Image file exists in assets folder?
3. Markdown has image link?

Skip Logic:

• ✅ All 3 exist → Skip (already done)
• ⚠️ Assets + image exist, no link → Add link only (no new screenshot)
• 🔄 Missing any → Take screenshot + add link

🎯 Vendor-Focused Processing

• Only processes docs/vendors/*/index.md files
• Automatically discovers all vendor directories
• Shows summary: ✓ 250 vendors have screenshots, → 41 need screenshots

🖱️ Interactive Mode by Default

• Browser opens for manual cookie/CAPTCHA handling
• Press Enter when ready to capture screenshot
• Use --no-interactive for automatic mode
• Critical for homepages with consent dialogs

📍 Smart Image Placement

• Adds image after headline and first paragraph
• Natural placement within vendor page content
• Works in both interactive and automatic modes

💬 Better Status Messages

✓ Screenshot already exists and is linked in abbyy
⚠ Screenshot exists but not linked in markdown for box-com
→ No screenshot found for deepset, will create one
✗ No URL found in docs/vendors/vendor-x/index.md

Usage:

# Default: Interactive mode for all vendors
python screenshot.py

# Automatic mode (no manual verification)
python screenshot.py --no-interactive

# Process specific vendor
python screenshot.py --file docs/vendors/abbyy/index.md

# Use different user agent
python screenshot.py --user-agent googlebot

Before:

• Processed all index.md files everywhere
• Always ran automatically (cookies/CAPTCHA problems)
• No skip logic (wasted time on existing screenshots)
• Added image at top of file

After:

• Only vendor files (docs/vendors/*/index.md)
• Interactive by default (manual cookie handling)
• Smart skip logic (only processes what's needed)
• Natural image placement (after first paragraph)

🔗 Broken Link Fixes

Fixed all broken internal links across documentation:

News Files:

• 2025-08-news.md: Fixed Mindee link
• 2025-09-news.md: Fixed 7 broken vendor news links (Box, Pegasystems, Mindee, UiPath, etc.)

Vendor Pages:

• Fixed relative capability links in ayr-ai/index.md
• Corrected capability path names (e.g., quality-and-verification → quality-verification)
• Removed links to non-existent pages (archiving, summarization)
