Technical SEO Maintenance

Ongoing technical SEO maintenance this month — routine upkeep of the site's technical health so nothing blocks Google from crawling, indexing and ranking the practice's pages as new content and links come online.

Tracking & Reporting

Monitored performance across Local Falcon (map-pack grid scans, run August 29), Semrush (keyword position tracking for 14 local terms) and Windsor — pulling Google Analytics 4, Google Business Profile and Google Search Console data together so every number in this report is live and verified.
