Important reporting context
The supplied report distinguishes the historical peak from a later SEMrush snapshot. That later snapshot showed 12,883 ranking keywords and approximately 843 estimated monthly organic visits. These figures represent different points in time and are not presented as simultaneous results.
CHALLENGE
Low starting authority, limited keyword coverage across business categories and locations, and competition from established directories.
STRATEGY
Search-intent research across business, profession, service, product and category + location combinations, including relevant “near me” variations.
IMPLEMENTATION
Scalable landing-page structure, title and meta description optimisation, heading and content improvements, crawlability and indexation review, URL structure and internal linking.
ROLE
SEO specialist: keyword research, search-intent mapping, local SEO strategy, on-page optimisation, content/page optimisation and internal linking.
