You have search impressions — here's the triage
Impressions are demand signals, not outcomes. Triage CTR, position, and money-page fit so search work creates clicks and customers - not vanity visibility.

Likely causes to investigate
Fix CTR on high-impression queries first
Push striking-distance rankings on money pages
Prioritize money-page impressions over vanity topics
Google Search Console shows impressions. Founders still ask what to do. Rising or flat totals are not a plan. Falling totals are not always a crash.
A simple triage order
01
Weak CTR on buyer queries
Searchers already see you. Rewrite titles and meta before publishing more posts.
Fix first
02
Striking-distance money pages
Positions roughly 8-15 with real impressions are often the cheapest unlock.
Push next
03
Vanity educational volume
Broad topics that never reach pricing or signup can look busy and still create no customers.
Deprioritize
04
True visibility drop
When impressions fell and clicks fell with them, investigate quality vs coverage loss.
