For testimonial, customer quote, photo permission, city proof, service proof, or website testimonial searches, open the testimonial resource path first. For reputation, before-and-after photo, trust badge, service-area proof, or website proof searches, open the reputation resource path first. For Google review link, review QR card, AI review response, or review follow-up searches, open the review resource path first. For QR card, truck sign, invoice QR, business card QR, review QR, or referral QR searches, open the QR card path first. For GBP website link, Linktree alternative, social bio, referral profile, review link, or local profile searches, open the profile-link resource hub first. Then keep moving through the local SEO and website resource paths so profile links do not become dead-end shortcuts.
Search terms are captured as event metadata only so missing contractor-resource searches can become future backlog items.
