High-impact strategies for building local brand recognition and earning authoritative backlinks:
Steady, consistent effort (2-3 links/month, regular content updates) beats sporadic bursts. Maintain the foundation built during this campaign and rankings will continue to improve.
This is WHY your rankings are strong—do not modify core content
BM25F is a ranking algorithm that evaluates keyword relevance based on term frequency, document length, and field-specific weighting (title, headers, body text). "Saturation" refers to the optimal keyword density where additional mentions provide diminishing returns. Your homepage has achieved this ideal balance—keywords appear frequently enough to signal strong topical relevance without over-optimization.
The current homepage content has achieved ideal BM25F saturation for your target keywords. This optimization is a PRIMARY DRIVER of your strong rankings. Changing these elements will likely cause ranking drops.
Maintain what works. Focus new efforts on link building, citation management, and creating NEW content pages—not modifying the homepage that's already performing perfectly.
