The problem
What the audit found
Day 1 findings
Position 1 for pool paver installation company and pool paver installation contractors, confirmed by Voodoo. But those keywords had low search volume nationally. Local Sarasota homeowners searching for pool paver installation in Sarasota FL, Venice FL, or North Port FL were finding competitors.
No city pages for Sarasota, Venice, North Port, or Bradenton. The 9 indexed pages covered services and 2 city pages (Sarasota and Venice) with thin, templated content.
No FAQPage schema. No AI Overview citations despite strong image SERP presence (4 appearances at 25% coverage).
Missing the high-value pool deck and travertine paver search category, with a single blog post ranking at position 92 for best pool deck material florida.
