Search Console data, turned into 63 page edits.

A Las Vegas fireplace, glass and doors company had a rebuilt site we made, live and working. Three months of its own Search Console data showed the words customers actually search, so we matched 13 high-value pages to those terms and shipped every change after one approval round. The client's name is withheld for privacy.

The situation

A good site using the wrong words.

We had already rebuilt the site: new service pages, a cleaner homepage and 25 service-area city pages. It looked better and loaded well, but its pages still described services in the company's words, not always the words customers type into Google.

Search Console had three months of data on exactly that: which searches showed the site, and which pages Google matched to them. That export became the brief.

What we did

Search Console data turned into 63 page edits, approved and live in one round.

All 13 pages passed our pre-publish checks and went live after one approval round.

01 · The rebuild

25 city pages, one layout to maintain.

Every service-area city page renders from one shared layout, with only the city-specific details passed in. Change the layout once and all 25 pages update together, which kept the later search-term pass fast and consistent.

02 · The search-term pass

Real searches, worked in page by page.

From the three-month export we picked 13 pages with real search demand and worked the terms people actually used into their title tags, descriptions, intros and FAQs: 63 small edits and 89 placements in all, not rewrites. We added FAQ sections to two pages and fixed cross-links between related services. We skipped terms for services the company had not confirmed it offers.

03 · Approval

Nothing ships without a yes.

Every change went to the client as a before-and-after document, page by page, before anything shipped. Two business details were flagged for confirmation and confirmed. After approval, all 13 pages passed our pre-publish checks and went live in one release.

The honest part

Ranking results are still being measured.

The edits went live in early October. We are comparing the same search terms about four weeks after launch, and we will add the numbers here when they are in, not before.

We show the client's site blurred and describe them by industry. We do not show their analytics without permission.

Questions

Case study FAQ

What is a search-term pass?

We take your own Search Console data, find the searches that already show your site, and work those words into the matching pages, only where they describe a service the business actually offers. On this project that meant 63 small edits across 13 pages.

Did rankings go up?

We do not know yet. The changes went live in early October and we are comparing the same terms about four weeks later. We will publish the result when we have it.

Why skip some search terms?

Some searches were for services the company had not confirmed it offers. Writing pages for services a business does not provide would mislead customers, so we left them out.

Does the client approve every change?

Yes. Every change went out as a page-by-page before-and-after document, and nothing shipped until it was approved.

Why are the city pages built from one layout?

So a change to the layout updates all 25 city pages at once. It keeps the pages consistent and makes later improvements fast.
