Adding these recommended fields improves chances of getting Organization knowledge panel in search results.

Why this matters

Schema entity has required fields but could add recommended ones for richer SERP layouts (star ratings, prices, etc.).

Source: Google Search Central

Your WebSite structured data is missing required fields for Google's Sitelinks search box. Without these, the page won't qualify for rich results.

Why this matters

Schema entity missing required properties — Google's rich-result eligibility check fails; the schema is in source but never renders enhanced.

"Global News | Breaking, Latest News and Video for Canada"

56 characters Optimal ✓
Title: Global News | Breaking, Latest News and Video for Canada
H1: GlobalNews homepage
Match: Very different
Robots: Indexable (no restrictions)

Alignment helps users confirm they've reached the right page.

Why this matters

Title and H1 disagree significantly — Google may treat one as the canonical topic and the other as off-topic, weakening ranking.

Title is the SERP headline; H1 is the on-page headline. They should describe the same page. Large divergence (different topics, different keywords) signals confusion and Google may rewrite the title in SERP. Align both to the same primary topic.
