Biggest opportunity: Swap “elementor widget” for “reading time badge”. “elementor widget” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “reading time badge” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
