YMYL page (health/finance/legal) without reviewedBy / lastReviewed schema
YMYL stands for Your Money or Your Life, Google's term for content covering health, finance or legal topics where inaccurate advice could cause real harm. reviewedBy and lastReviewed are schema fields that record which credentialed expert checked the content and when. This check found a YMYL page on your site with neither field present.
Why this matters
Google's Search Quality Rater Guidelines treat health, finance and legal ('Your Money or Your Life') content as high-stakes and expect clear signs of expertise and accountability. reviewedBy and lastReviewed are one way to show that an expert has checked the content. Quality rater guidelines are not a direct ranking system, and how AI tools treat this markup is not publicly documented.
How to fix it
Your content and legal team need about 1 day per page. Add WebPage JSON-LD with reviewedBy, naming a Person with their name and jobTitle, and lastReviewed in ISO date format. Have a genuinely credentialed expert actually sign off on the content, and display their name visibly on the page itself, not just in the schema. Set a review cadence: quarterly for finance content, biannually for evergreen health content.
