28-day baseline (Search Console, Jul 8–Aug 4, 2026)
- 1,836 clicks
- 102,223 impressions
- 1.8% CTR
- Average position 8.4
High-leverage landing pages already near page one include:
/crossing/nogales-deconcini/: 231 clicks / 8,725 impressions / 2.6% CTR / position 7.5
/crossing/hidalgo-pharr-anzalduas-international-bridge/: 222 / 5,803 / 3.8% / 6.8
/crossing/san-ysidro/: 76 / 8,122 / 0.9% / 10.4
- Homepage: 105 / 8,590 / 1.2% / 9.7
- Medication guide: 143 / 9,483 / 1.5% / 6.9
Best-time pages have only early impressions/clicks, so bulk page expansion is premature.
Scope
- Build a query-to-page map for the top opportunity pages.
- Rewrite title, description, on-page answer, and internal-link anchors to match real query language while preserving accuracy.
- Prioritize Nogales, Anzalduas/Donna, San Ysidro, homepage, and the high-impression medication/SENTRI guides.
- Resolve historical trailing-slash split signals and measure the canonical versions only.
- Compare snippets against current competitors; avoid unverifiable superlatives or “live” claims when data is stale.
- Do not generate hundreds of new day/route pages until the existing cohort earns meaningful impressions.
Definition of done
- Pre-change query/page baseline is saved.
- Each target page has one clear intent, differentiated snippet, useful first-screen answer, and relevant next link.
- Medical/legal travel copy remains source-verified.
- Recheck CTR and position after 28 days; keep/revert based on evidence.
