- Pre-publish checks: Verify slug, parent, title, meta description, H1, price/deal last-checked date, internal links, schema validity and noindex/robots settings.
- Cannibalisation control: this page should support Merlin Pass worth it but not replace it. Use the parent/hub for broader navigation and keep this URL focused on Merlin Pass prices.
