Foundation (ship these first)

1. Permanent /black-friday hub: Keep the URL stable each year; refresh content, don’t change the slug. Validate title/description in Meta Tags Checker.
2. Title/H1 alignment: Outcome-first titles; mirror intent in H1. Pixel test with Google Search Preview.
3. Snippet paragraph (40–55 words): Place under H1; include discount scope, categories, shipping cut-offs, and returns. Confirm with Website Text Extractor.
4. Speed budget: TTFB < 600 ms and payload < 2 MB. Check with TTFB and Page Size.
5. Redirect hygiene: Ensure all promos land on a final 200—no hops—via URL Redirect Checker and HTTP Headers Lookup.

Discoverability (SEO)

6. Internal links from top posts: Add 2–4 contextual links to the hub and priority categories; re-crawl after publishing.
7. Collection descriptions: 70–120 words, plus a mini-FAQ and a comparison table to help scanners.
8. Lean schema: Use FAQPage when Q&A is visible; add Product/Offer for hero SKUs (mirror real prices/availability).
9. OG parity: Make social previews accurate using OpenGraph Checker.
10. Image alts that sell: e.g., “Black Friday: [Product] 40% off, free shipping.” Validate with Image Alt Tags Checker.

Conversion (CRO)

11. Countdown + shipping timer: Above the fold—clear end time and same-day dispatch cut-off.
12. Bundles & cart-level offers: Pre-configure popular pairings; show framed savings (“Save $28 as a bundle”).
13. Trust strip: Ratings/reviews, payment icons, and concise security note near the CTA.
14. Sticky mobile CTA: Avoid covering headings; use scroll-margin-top for anchors.
15. FAQ near CTAs: Discount %, shipping deadlines, returns window, warranty, bundle eligibility.

Messaging & Promotion

16. Email/SMS cadence: VIP Early Access (Day −3), Main Launch (Day 0), Last-Chance (Day +2). Keep subject lines outcome-first.
17. Ad → page message match: Mirror creative, value prop, and price points on landing pages.
18. Live inventory cues: “Only 7 left at this price”—never fake scarcity.
19. Post-purchase upsell: One clean offer that complements the purchase; avoid multi-step funnels.
20. Remarketing segments: Viewed hub, cart abandoners, purchasers for cross-sell.
21. After-event weekend: Keep hub live with a “Last Chance” tier; consolidate redirects after the sale.
