Pages with little unique value, depth, or originality for users.
Thin content fails to satisfy user intent due to a lack of depth, originality, or usefulness. It often stems from auto-generated pages, boilerplate text, or minimal content around affiliate links. Systematically identifying and improving or pruning thin content strengthens overall site quality and rankings.

| Intent Alignment | Map $thin content to user journeys and topics | Validate with SERP and on-site behavior |
| Consistency | Encode in components and content standards | Use CMS validations and preview QA |
