-------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is deliberately short. Your theme already outputs og:title, og:description, og:url, og:site_name, twitter:card, twitter:title and twitter:description through the social-meta-tags snippet, and it already outputs a canonical tag. Adding those again would duplicate them, and the browser takes the first one anyway. The two things it does NOT do: 1. There is no robots meta anywhere. Adding max-snippet:-1 and max-image-preview:large    tells Google it may quote the full answer block and show the diagram large. That is    what wins the AI Overview and the image result. 2. social-meta-tags only emits og:image for products and for articles that have a    featured image. Pages get no image at all, so the guide pages currently share as a    bare link. The block above fixes that for the two guide pages. Once the diagram PNG is uploaded to Shopify Files, replace all three instances of REPLACE_WITH_DIAGRAM_CDN_URL with its CDN URL. Until then, leave the second block out. For the touchmark post, set a featured image on the article and the theme handles the og:image on its own. Nothing to add.

About the KR Wilson Style Stamps

Ford Motor Company used the KR Wilson A404B stamp set as the factory standard for serial number stamping. The I, 6, and 9 figures were a specific updated design — the 6 and 9 have a straight back (not curved), and the I is plain with no serifs. This was done intentionally to make fraudulent alteration of serial numbers more difficult to accomplish.

These stamps replicate that exact KR Wilson style to the factory correct size so your restoration is as accurate as possible.
