From e18cc04959745fd6ed528dfd3e910a13050334b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Mayes Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 15:44:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Retarget homepage + guide metadata at audit intent MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Search Console shows two distinct query populations on the homepage: "analyzer" queries (~1.5k impressions) convert at 10-36%, while navigational "wow tbc logs"-style queries (~14k impressions, people looking for warcraftlogs.com) convert at ~0.2%. The site-wide CTR decline is that second group growing, not a regression — so this change ignores it and targets the one high-volume query with genuine tool intent instead. - Homepage title: add "Raid Audit". `tbc audit` is 3.3k impressions at position 4.9 with 0.61% CTR; the word was absent from the title, so searchers never saw their term matched. Keeps "Log Analyzer" intact — those queries are the 30%+ CTR group. Drops "Classic" to stay under SERP truncation; it remains in the description and H1. - Homepage description: lead with the paste-a-URL action and name the specific things audited. - Guide: retarget from the navigational cluster (91% of its impressions, unwinnable against warcraftlogs.com) toward the genuine-intent queries it already surfaces for. Description now matches the page's actual 7-step structure.

Unlike the "wow tbc logs" cluster (navigational, people looking for warcraftlogs.com), these searchers want an auditing tool, which is exactly what the Buff & Gear Audit tab is. That feature had no dedicated URL until now. This is a feature page, not a doorway: every check described is one the CLA engine actually runs, verified against lib/cla-engine.ts and lib/constants.ts — enchants and severity tiers (error/warning/info → CRITICAL/WARNING/NOTE), sockets, gem type, TBC weapon oils and sharpening stones, item level, flasks, battle/guardian elixirs, food, scrolls, class buff families incl. the Salvation-on-tank warning, and the 61-point TBC talent check. - New `/tbc-audit` with the URL form inline (matches tool intent), plus BreadcrumbList and FAQPage JSON-LD. - Linked from the homepage and added to the sitemap at priority 0.9. Prior experience here is that unlinked pages sit in "Discovered – currently not indexed", so the internal link is load-bearing. - Fixed a stale claim in ReportUrlForm: it said "Supports Classic and Season of Discovery reports" while the app has handled TBC through Cataclysm for a while (EXPANSION_ID_TO_DOMAIN, 1000-1004). It read as a direct contradiction on a TBC page. Verified: tsc + lint clean; page rendered locally and checked end to end (title 58 chars incl. the " | ParseForge" template, canonical, JSON-LD, and the crawlable homepage anchor).
