Your pages sit on page one for the searches that matter. Then you ask ChatGPT for recommendations in your category and it names other businesses, never yours. It looks like a contradiction. What explains it, and what…
You have fixed titles, added pages, and cleaned up the site. How long before the work shows up in rankings and traffic, and what should you watch in the meantime?
Search Console shows 2 pages from your site trading positions for the same query. Neither one holds a stable rank. Is that a problem, and is merging the answer?
