Technical SEO

Routine maintenance this month: re-verified schema on the core braces and Invisalign service pages, added internal links from the new teen Invisalign-vs-braces blog into the treatment cluster, monitored Core Web Vitals, and confirmed the XML sitemap stayed submitted and clean in Google Search Console so every page remains crawlable and indexed.

Tracking & Reporting

Monitored rankings and performance across Semrush (keyword position tracking), Local Falcon (map-pack grid scans), 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.
