Phase 1: Critical Bug Fixes

Fix issues that are actively hurting SEO performance

Week 1

404 broken internal link to Allen page (typo in URL)

Treatment Options • /treatment-options/

Current

/allen-orthodontic-office/ (404)

Fix To

/allen-orthodontics-office/ (add "s" to orthodontics)

Why This Matters (Search Atlas)

CRITICAL: Broken internal links waste crawl budget and create poor user experience. Per Search Atlas Technical SEO, all internal links must resolve to valid pages.

Phase 2: High Priority Fixes

Address issues that significantly impact rankings and user trust

Week 1-2

Grammar error: "Dr. Kraus recommend kids"

Homepage • /

Current

Grammar errors on the homepage damage E-E-A-T signals. Subject-verb agreement errors reduce perceived professionalism and trustworthiness.

Phase 4: Pillar Pages

Build comprehensive service + location pages for topical authority

Phase 7: Medium/Low Priority Fixes

Address remaining issues for polish and optimization

Month 2-3

H5 used before H1 (6 instances) - location names duplicated in header

Homepage • /

Current

6 H5 tags appear before H1

Fix To

Change H5 to styled spans, H1 should be first heading

Why This Matters (Search Atlas)

Per Search Atlas Website Audit methodology, H1 should be the first and only H1 on the page. Using H5 before H1 confuses search engines about page hierarchy.
