Improvements Summary

The provided strategy is empty, so no specific content changes can be extracted. Share the audit findings, target pages, and keywords to produce a tactical summary.

Improvements Details

Provide the list of URLs ranking in positions 4–20, the queries driving impressions/clicks, and the intended primary keyword per page. Add the recommended on-page tasks per URL (title tag rewrite, H1/H2 updates, intro copy adjustments, internal link targets, and sections to add to cover gaps).

Improvements Rationale

Striking-distance pages typically improve with small, page-level edits once the target queries and intent are clear. Without the underlying audit data (URLs, rankings, queries, and proposed changes), any recommendations would be guesswork and may not match search intent.
