On-Page SEO Audit & Rewrite
Scope
8 pages audited and rewritten
This excerpt
3 of the 8 pages, in full
This is the working document a client receives: every audited page gets its target keyword, the exact before and after for the title tag, meta description, and heading structure, the content changes made, and a schema recommendation. Character counts shown are measured from the rewritten text on this page.
Home
coastalpaddle.example/Why this page: The page most first-time renters land on from search and the map pack. It has to say what, where, and how much within one screen.
Target keyword: kayak and paddleboard rentals crescent bay

Heading structure
- H1: Welcome!
- H1: Coastal Paddle Rentals
- H3: Our Story
- H3: Come Paddle With Us
Findings
- Two H1s, neither containing a service or location term.
- No meta description, so search engines improvise one from the footer.
- Above-the-fold copy is a welcome message; the words kayak, paddleboard, and Crescent Bay first appear below the fold.
- No pricing signal and no booking call to action visible without scrolling.

Kayak Rentals
coastalpaddle.example/rentals/kayaksWhy this page: The money page for the highest-volume rental query. Currently outranked by two aggregator listings that say less than this page could.
Target keyword: kayak rental crescent bay

Kayaks
Meta description
Coastal Paddle Rentals offers rentals of kayaks, paddleboards and more in the Crescent Bay area.
Heading structure
- H1: (none, hero is an image with the text baked in)
- H2: Single Kayaks
- H2: Tandem Kayaks
Findings
- Six-character title wastes the strongest ranking signal on the page.
- Meta description is shared word for word with the paddleboard page, so the two compete with each other.
- The H1 is an image, invisible to search engines and screen readers alike.
- No prices on the page; renters must call to learn the hourly rate.

Title tag
Tours
Meta description
missing
Heading structure
- H1: Tours
- H2: Sunset Paddle
Findings
- Title and H1 describe the category, not the tour, so the page competes with the tours index for the same terms.
- Body copy is 140 words with no itinerary, times, difficulty notes, or what to bring.
- No meta description on a page whose search snippet has to sell an experience.
- A five-word booking link at the very bottom is the only call to action.

Schema recommendation

- /rentals/paddleboards
- /tours/morning-wildlife-paddle
- /pricing
- /faq
- /contact
How this ships in a real order
- · Every recommended schema block is generated as JSON-LD and run through Google’s Rich Results test before handoff; nothing ships until it validates.
- · Rank tracking is configured for the agreed keyword list, one per page plus variants, with the before snapshot recorded on day one so movement is measured against a real baseline.
- · Changes are applied directly in your CMS where you grant access, or delivered as this document plus paste-ready copy where you prefer to apply them yourself.
