- - Auditor-compare pages (/compare/auditor/*-vs-*) now prerender firm tier, accreditations, shared and exclusive services, and industries served — previously these 17 routes shipped as ~7.5 KB shells with no firm signal. Crawlers now see FedRAMP, 3PAO, HITRUST, and service-overlap text directly in the static HTML.
- - Strengthened /auditors/a-lign/ for branded queries (a-lign, a lign, a-lign assurance, a-lign 3PAO). Added the legal-entity structure (A-LIGN Compliance and Security, Inc. + Price and Associates CPAs, LLC d/b/a A-LIGN Assurance / PCAOB-registered), four new FAQs covering HQ, offices, FedRAMP 3PAO status, and the A-LIGN-vs-A-LIGN-Assurance distinction.
- - Refreshed lastUpdated on the ten highest-impression guides (attestation-vs-certification, trust-services-criteria, soc-2-vs-iso-27001, type-1-vs-type-2, audit-cost, audit-timeline, can-i-do-soc-2-without-an-auditor, vendor selection, readiness, observation period) to reinforce freshness signals to Google.
- - Reddit thread queue refreshed for June 2026.
- - No changes to pricing data, vendor records, or auditor rankings. Operator remains unpublished; site continues to disclose 'not a CPA firm'.
