Rule site.organization.sameAs-broken

Fix malformed sameAs entries in Organization schema

site.organization.sameAs-broken is a check in Crawlmind's site audit that grades medium-impact issues of this kind. This page explains why the rule matters and the exact fix.

Impact: mediumEffort: lowFixable: 1-click

Why it matters

Each Organization.sameAs entry must be an absolute https:// URL the engine can resolve. Plain handles (`@example`), page titles ("LinkedIn profile"), relative paths, or javascript: hrefs are all dropped by validators and signal a sloppy or malicious entity graph. AI engines penalise this strongly because it implies the markup was not authored carefully.

The fix

Wrong:

```json
"sameAs": [
  "@example",
  "LinkedIn",
  "/company/example",
  "twitter.com/example"
]
```

Right:

```json
"sameAs": [
  "https://twitter.com/example",
  "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example",
  "https://github.com/example"
]
```

Every entry must:

1. Start with `https://`
2. Be a complete URL including the host
3. Point to a profile you actually control

Validate with [Google's Rich Results Test](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results): it flags malformed sameAs entries as errors.
