Royal Mail Postcode Checker: How to Use and Find UK Addresses

Gate 4: Fact lock vs verified_facts. The verified_facts is empty in the input, so no conflict.

Gate 5: FAQ dedup. Check FAQ items against H2/H3 content. There is H2 “How to use the Royal Mail postcode finder?” and FAQ “How do I find a postcode for a business…?” and “Can I search by partial address?” Those are not identical. So no dedup needed. Minimum 5, we have 7.

Gate 6: Link hygiene + diversity. Internal links: two at the end: “Internet Speed Test Free” and “Best WiFi in My Area” – they have full URLs with domain. Should strip target/rel for internal. They are internal? The domain is trendymagazine.uk, so yes internal. Remove target and rel. External links: ensure target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow”. Already have that. Max 3 per domain? Royal Mail domain appears many times – we have many links to royalmail.com. Need to ensure no more than 3 per domain? The gate says “Max 3 per domain”? Actually Gate 6 says “Each external URL at most once. Max 3 per domain.” That means for each domain, we can have up to 3 links, but each URL should be unique? It says “Each external URL at most once” – that means we shouldn’t duplicate the exact same URL multiple times. That is already violated: we have multiple links to same URLs (e.g., https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode appears many times). We need to reduce to at most 1 instance of each URL, and at most 3 links to the same domain. So we need to consolidate. Same for Smarty and Parcelforce. We’ll have to choose which occurrences to keep and which to remove or change to different URLs? But the contract says each claim must have a source. We can keep the first occurrence of each URL and then in subsequent references, we can either use a different source or just cite without hyperlink? But the rule says each external URL at most once, meaning we shouldn’t have multiple tags with the same href. We can rephrase to “according to Royal Mail” without a link if we already have the link elsewhere. But we need to be careful. The best approach: for each domain, keep up to 3 different URLs (e.g., different pages on the same domain). But if we have multiple links to the same page, we can keep only the first and for others remove the anchor or use text citation without link. However, the gate says “Each external URL at most once” – so we must dedupe URLs. We’ll need to look through the article and ensure no href is repeated. We’ll also ensure max 3 per domain. Let’s count: Royal Mail URLs: royalmail.com/find-a-postcode (appears many times), royalmail.com/business/marketing/data/capture (appears at least twice), help.royalmail.com (once), royalmail.com/receiving/change-your-delivery-options (once). That’s multiple domains (royalmail.com and help.royalmail.com) but help.royalmail.com is subdomain of royalmail.com? Possibly considered same domain. We’ll treat as same. So many links to royalmail.com. We need to reduce to at most 3 URLs total? Actually “Max 3 per domain” means we can have up to 3 different URLs from the same domain. That’s fine if we have 3 different pages. But we have many repeats of same URL. So we need to dedupe each unique URL to one occurrence.
