01Fix the truncated meta description on the Young Money case study
The meta on /blog/case-study-young-money-jack-raines cuts off mid-sentence at 'his goal was to double down on'. It's 160 chars but ends without a verb. Rewrite to a complete sentence under 155 chars with a CTA. Same problem on Publish Press (66 chars, way too short) and Webflow forms (83 chars).
02H1/title mismatch on the Publish Press case study
Title says '20,000+ Subscribers' but the H1 says '130,000+ Subscribers'. One of those is wrong and Google will notice. Pick the real number, sync both, and re-request indexing. Also the page is only 987 words versus 2,800-4,100 on your other case studies, which reads as thin.
03Push the 11-20 rankings onto page 1
11 keywords sit on page 2 right now, including 'wayground' (pos 17, 1.5M vol), 'notebooklm' (pos 19, 673K vol), and 'league pass wnba' (pos 17, 246K vol). These are one internal-link refresh and a content update away from page 1. Audit each URL, add updated info, and point 5-10 internal links at them from related posts.
04Claim 'newsletter platform' category keywords on the main domain
beehiiv.com is a newsletter platform but doesn't rank on page 1 for 'newsletter platform' (1,000/mo), 'best newsletter platform' (880), or 'email newsletter platform' (720). All commercial intent. Build a /best-newsletter-platform comparison page and a /newsletter-platform pillar. Right now the high-volume rankings live on creator subdomains, not on the product site.
05Recover the email etiquette page from position 100+
'email and etiquette' (301K/mo) and 'etiquette for emails' (301K/mo) both rank at position 102-105 on /blog/mastering-email-etiquette-guide. That's right outside the top 100. A content refresh (add current year, expand sections, fix internal links) usually moves a borderline page 20-30 positions. Worth the afternoon.
06Tighten title tags on case studies
Case study titles like 'How Young Money's List Grew 17x Since Switching to beehiiv | beehiiv Blog' (73 chars) are fine, but 'Case Study: The Drop by Gannon Breslin | beehiiv Blog' (53 chars) wastes the slot. Lead with the result, not the format. Example: 'How The Drop Built a Profitable Finance Newsletter | beehiiv'.
07Build the comparison content competitors don't own
Substack has 8,696 overlapping keywords with you and 907,829 on page 1. They're eating commercial intent like 'ghost newsletter platform' (480/mo, KD 25) and 'best newsletter platform for writers'. You don't have dedicated comparison pages for those. Ship vs-Ghost, vs-Substack, vs-Mailchimp pages with feature matrices.
