Search log

What we changed, and what Google did next.

We don't pay for ads on this site. This is our public record of each change and what Google Search Console reported afterward, including the slow months.

Every number is copied from Search Console with its date window. Searches for our own name are called out, because they say little about whether new customers can find us. The clean baseline for the new site is due early December 2026, once Google's November core update has settled; until then we log changes without results.

Rebuild: one name, foundation pages, honest numbers

What we changed

  • Rebuilt the site on one design, with the positioning sentence as the first heading.
  • Removed unsourced figures and animated counters, so search engines and AI assistants read final text.
  • Used one name, Nine Lives, in page titles and site-wide structured data (the blog follows); the old domain already redirects here.
  • Added pages for restoration contractors, websites, lead systems, South Florida and Buffalo, and a restoration case study.

Almost all clicks came from searches for our own name. Educational posts were already being shown, with titles and snippets that did not earn clicks.
