What to fix first
- 1
Swap “filter” and “search” for “filtered” and “recurring events”
“filter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “filtered” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “search” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recurring events” sits at #20 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- 2
One page off on “the events calendar”
#11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
