Complete GMB profile optimisation — fill all sections: services list (CBT, Hypnotherapy, Couple Counselling, Anger Management, Relationship Therapy, Youth Therapy), business description with primary keywords, hours, photos, and Q&A section. GMB data feeds directly into Gemini local recommendations
Add service area coverage to GMB — specify Singapore districts served (Orchard, CBD, Tanjong Pagar, Raffles Place) for "therapist near me" and "counsellor near me" local map pack ranking
Post 2 GMB updates for April: (1) "April Booking Now Open — CBT & Hypnotherapy Sessions in Singapore" and (2) "Understanding Relationship Therapy — Free 15-min Consultation Available." Active posting signals to Gemini that the listing is current

Improve mobile PageSpeed score from 68 toward 85+ — compress and lazy-load images, defer render-blocking JS, and enable browser caching. Mobile speed directly impacts Core Web Vitals and crawl frequency by Google & Gemini bots
Fix CBT page load time — currently 3,176ms (flagged in Technical SEO sheet). Identify and optimise the top 2–3 resources slowing this page. CBT is a top 10 target keyword (390/mo); slow load hurts ranking potential
Deploy FAQ Schema markup on top 5 service pages: CBT, Hypnotherapy, Couple Counselling, Anger Management, Relationship Therapy — structured FAQ answers power Google AI Overviews and Claude/ChatGPT citations for therapy queries
Implement Organization + LocalBusiness + Therapist structured data (JSON-LD) on homepage and about page — name, address, phone, service areas, specialities. Required for Google Knowledge Panel eligibility and Gemini AI rich results
Create dedicated "Couple Counselling Singapore" and "Marriage Counsellor Singapore" landing pages (if not already separate) — these are 3,600/mo keywords currently ranking 33–39; dedicated, optimised pages with clear H1/H2 structure can accelerate movement into Top 10
