Use this when
- A service, FAQ, pricing, proof, or location page gets impressions but few clicks.
- AI answers mention a stale service, old page title, or incomplete business fact.
- You need a safe refresh queue before rewriting a site or buying more SEO work.
- A consultant, chamber mentor, or owner wants a simple way to turn query data into action.

| Priority | Query/page signal | Refresh action | Human review |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | High impressions + low clicks on a buyer-intent service query. | Rewrite title/intro to answer the query; add proof and FAQ. | Owner verifies service, availability, and claims. |
| 2 | Queries mention price, cost, financing, deposit, or warranty. | Add a pricing-factors or policy section without inventing exact numbers. | Owner/bookkeeper/manager approves policy language. |
| 3 | Queries mention location or service area. | Clarify covered areas, exceptions, response windows, and local proof. | Owner verifies service-area boundaries. |
| 4 | Queries mention proof, reviews, before/after, or credentials. | Add approved proof links, testimonial permissions, certifications, and limitations. | Human verifies permission and claim support. |
| 5 | Queries do not match the page promise. | Improve internal links, split a FAQ, or redirect only after source review. | Owner/developer verifies redirect or consolidation plan. |

You are helping a small business review Search Console query data for AI search visibility. Use only the verified data below. Do not invent traffic, rankings, query volume, buyer intent, business facts, services, prices, locations, guarantees, or competitor claims. For each page, identify: (1) likely intent, (2) what the page should answer, (3) missing source-of-truth facts, (4) risky or stale claims to verify, (5) internal links to add, (6) whether to refresh now, monitor, combine, or leave unchanged, and (7) the human owner who must approve the update. Data: [paste worksheet rows].
Human-review rules
- Never paste private customer data, full lead records, or confidential revenue details into an AI tool.
- Do not let AI guess why a query has impressions or clicks. Use it to organize possibilities, not invent cause.
- Do not publish new pricing, guarantee, emergency-service, legal, medical, financial, or compliance claims without the approved source.
- Keep a record of the old title, new title, update date, source data range, and next check date.
- If the page affects paid ads, bookings, checkout, or legal policy, have the owner or responsible manager approve the change first.
