Task Library
Confirms the site footer carries working social media links and a secondary navigation so every page ends with somewhere useful to go.
Category: Website QA Audit
Use this when running Layer 2 (Content Architecture Checks) of the Website QA Audit – the footer is the site-wide safety net for navigation and profile discovery.
Inputs
- Site URL and the owner's canonical list of social profile URLs
- Desktop and mobile browsers
- The audit report/spreadsheet for logging results
Steps
- Scroll to the footer on the homepage and confirm social icons/links are present.
- Click every social icon: each must open the owner's correct, live profile (the same URLs used in the schema sameAs list) – not a platform homepage, a dead account, or someone else's page.
- Confirm a secondary navigation exists in the footer covering at least the key pages: services, about, blog, contact, and privacy/terms.
- Click each secondary nav link and confirm it resolves to the right live page.
- Verify the footer renders consistently on every template (post, page, landing) and on mobile – not just the homepage.
- Log each link's destination and pass/fail in the audit report.
Definition of done (QA checklist)
- Footer shows social links on every template, and 100% open the owner's correct live profiles

- Link-by-link results logged in the audit report, linked back to /website-qa-audit
