115K impressions shows strong visibility — the site is being seen across Google. The 0.2% CTR means title tags and meta descriptions aren't compelling enough to drive clicks yet. This is the single biggest lever available: improving CTR by even 0.5% would more than triple current clicks without needing any new rankings.
Week-by-week activity — June 2026
Technical audit started
