Traffic Trajectory: After a low point in July (2 visits), organic traffic has been climbing steadily each month. The October spike to 44 visits is driven by the "surface restoration" keyword now ranking on page 1 (positions 7 and 8) for a keyword with 5,400 monthly searches. The keyword count decrease from 941 to 689 reflects a natural shakeout where lower-quality, non-ranking terms drop off while core keywords strengthen.
