Document
Help audit this blog post. I also need keyword, meta title and description. excerpt, etc.Sue, this is a strong post. It’s very you already. Funny, specific, and actually helpful. Now let’s tighten it so it ranks better, converts better, and feels a little sharper without losing your voice.
🔎 BIG PICTURE AUDIT
What’s working really well
Your opening hook is excellent. Funny + clear positioning right away
You clearly answer the real question: “Is it worth it?”
Strong original photos that support SEO and trust
The rooftop section is your standout content. That’s your ranking angle
What’s holding it back
1. You are not targeting a strong SEO keyword
Right now this reads like a story first, search second.
You need to anchor it to something people actually Google.2. Missing a clear H1 keyword structure
Your headings are good for readers, not for Google.
3. No strong internal linking (huge missed opportunity)
This post should be feeding your:
LA restaurants post
LA bars post
Solo travel LA content
4. Monetization is buried
You have the widget, but no strong text CTA above the fold
5. No “skim section”
Your audience likes story, but Google likes structure.
