Flat PV · falling CVR · dropping motivation

Slide 3 / Diagnostics CP1-3

Checkpoints ①②③
Keywords · CTA · Titles

The 3 with the most room to improve

CP1
Keyword biasAre you only writing about the same keyword cluster? Is there room to expand into related/satellite terms?
CP2
CTA placementOnly at the end of the article? Consider adding placements mid-article and in the sidebar.
CP3
Title CTRIn Search Console, diagnose articles with high impressions but low clicks. Add numbers/years/question forms.

Slide 4 / Diagnostics CP4-7

Checkpoints ④-⑦
Internal links · Speed · E-E-A-T · Competitors

Technical and ongoing room to improve

CP4
Internal linksAre articles isolated? Place 3-5 internal links to related articles.
CP5
Page speedImprove PageSpeed scores below 70 by compressing images and removing JS.
CP6
E-E-A-TAdd author profiles, cite sources, and keep last-updated dates current.
CP7
Competitor analysisHave you not reviewed the top-ranking articles in over 3 months?

Slide 5 / Priority

Priority of
Breakthrough Actions

Don't tackle all 7 at once; order by impact and effort

CP3 Title CTR (fastest; just rewriting existing articles)
CP2 CTA placement (all articles fixable in a day)
CP4 Internal links (1-2 weeks)
CP1 Keyword bias (a 1-3 month investment)
CP6 E-E-A-T (1-2 weeks)
CP7 Competitor analysis (monthly check)
CP5 Page speed (technical; last)

Slide 6 / Anti-patterns

3 Things to Avoid
During a Plateau

Switching platforms · rewriting everything · entering a new genre

NG1
Switching platformsRestarts SEO evaluation from zero. Not a fundamental fix.
NG2
Rewriting all articles at onceMassive effort, unclear payoff. Focus on a priority 5-10 articles.
NG3
Entering a new genreRisk of repeating the same mistakes in a different genre while existing content struggles.

Slide 7 / Mindset

The Mindset of People
Who Break Through

Diagnose with numbers; change one thing, observe for a week

Habit ①
Diagnose with numbersLook at Search Console/GA data every week, not by gut feel.
Habit ②
Change just one thingWith multiple simultaneous tactics you can't tell what worked. Observe one tactic for a week.
Habit ③
Hypothesis-test loopHypothesis → execute → measure → next hypothesis. Only those who run this loop keep growing.
