What happened this month

Clean month overall. WordPress core and all plugins are current, backups confirmed, and the contact form is routing correctly after last month’s SMTP fix. Search visibility made a real move — three new page-one keyword positions, all non-branded. Mobile performance is the one open flag.

Organic search snapshot

Three new page-one positions are non-branded — “knowledge management consultant,” “workflow audit small business,” and “PKM for teams.” That’s the growth signal to watch.

Recommendations

• High priority
  Fix video lazy-load on Resources page
  The embedded video is the direct cause of the mobile performance drop. Switching to click-to-load recovers the lost points and improves experience on slower connections — common for mobile readers on the go.
• High priority
  Add a page targeting “workflow consulting for agencies”
  Three non-branded keywords landed on page one this month. Building one focused page around agency and creative-team workflows would compound that momentum — this audience actively searches and converts well.
• Medium priority
  Add schema markup to the blog
  Article schema on the resource posts would help search engines surface them as rich results. Given the content quality already there, this is low effort for a real visibility gain.
• Keep watching
  Gravity Forms major update pending
  Version 3.0 is in beta. No action yet, but worth testing in staging before it releases — the download form on the Free Templates page uses conditional logic that should be verified post-update.
