Real numbers from Google Search Console, and what I did to get them.
A business school website

The site was struggling to compete against giant aggregator sites. Its highly academic content lacked search intent optimization, and technical bloat was causing a 4.2s LCP delay.

The Challenge
Poor indexing, massive render-blocking scripts, and no clear mapping between student search intent and existing curriculum pages for prime MBA keywords.
The Solution
Full Core Web Vitals audit, intent-mapping for 40+ program pages, and deployment of GSC Mapper to find quick-win keywords.
Career services
