Search growth guides for indie-built websites.
Practical guides for understanding Google Search Console, fixing SEO issues, improving GEO readiness, and turning findings into AI-coding repair tasks.
Google Search Console
Use GSC exports to find pages Google is testing, queries leaking clicks, and search demand that has not become traffic yet.
Why Google has impressions but no clicks
Impressions without clicks usually mean Google is testing your page, but the result is not earning the visit.
How to export Google Search Console data
A clean export gives you the rows needed to diagnose search growth without connecting OAuth on day one.
How to analyze low CTR pages
Low CTR pages are already visible enough to be worth fixing.
How to find page-one opportunities in GSC
Queries ranking around positions 8-20 often need focused improvements, not a full content rewrite.
Why impressions increase but clicks stay flat
Flat clicks during impression growth usually mean Google is testing more queries than your result can currently win.
Technical SEO
Fix the crawl, indexability, sitemap, and canonical issues that prevent search engines from understanding an AI-built site.
How to fix canonical and sitemap host mismatch
Host mismatch happens when your sitemap, canonical tags, and live URLs disagree about the preferred domain.
Why Google crawled but did not index your pages
Crawled but not indexed usually means discovery worked, but page quality, duplication, or signals did not justify indexing.
How to check robots.txt, sitemap, and canonical tags
Robots, sitemap, and canonical tags tell search engines what they can crawl and which URLs matter.
How to improve indexability for AI-built websites
AI-built websites often ship fast, but search engines still need stable templates, links, and unique page value.
How many pages should a new site index first
A new site should focus on getting its most useful and distinct pages indexed before trying to scale every template.
GEO / AI Search Readiness
Make pages easier for AI answer engines to understand, cite, and trust without stuffing keywords.
How AI-built sites should add entity trust signals
Entity trust signals help both search engines and answer engines understand who the site is for and why it is credible.
How to add source and citation blocks for AI search
Source blocks make claims easier to verify and reuse in AI-generated answers.
What makes a page citation-ready for ChatGPT and Gemini
Citation-ready pages make the answer, evidence, and source identity clear.
How to improve GEO readiness without keyword stuffing
GEO readiness improves when pages become clearer and more trustworthy, not when they repeat more keywords.
Why ChatGPT never cites my website
AI answer engines are more likely to cite pages that are clear, source-backed, and easy to identify as trustworthy references.
AI Coding Workflows
Turn search evidence into repair tasks that Codex, Cursor, or a human engineer can safely ship.
How to turn Search Console data into a Codex repair prompt
A strong repair prompt starts with evidence, not a broad request to improve SEO.
How to give Cursor SEO tasks without breaking routes
SEO fixes often touch metadata, routing, links, and templates, so agent instructions need boundaries.
How to create implementation-ready SEO fix plans
A fix plan turns diagnosis into prioritized, trackable work.
How to verify whether an AI-coded SEO fix worked
Verification closes the loop between a shipped code change and search growth evidence.
