Primary Finding

Visibility Gap 45%

Case Studies Not Indexed as Individual Pages Case studies (MN State Capitol, SSA Building, Lube Tech) appear as a single filtered section — not as crawlable individual URLs generating organic traffic (confirmed: summitfireconsulting.com homepage and site: search)

No LocalBusiness or Professional Service Schema Homepage has no structured data — engineering consulting firms with schema rank for "fire protection engineer Minnesota" queries that Summit Consulting is invisible for (confirmed: homepage fetch)

No City-Level or Building-Type Targeting Services and consulting pages mention no specific MN cities, building types, or regional code jurisdictions — architects and GCs searching locally cannot find them (confirmed: services page and consulting page fetch)

Blog Exists But Sparse Blog section exists but shows only milestone/celebration posts — no technical content on fire code, NFPA updates, or performance-based design that buyers actually search (confirmed: site:summitfireconsulting.com shows blog URL)

Revenue Impact

Minneapolis metro has 100–250 monthly searches for fire protection consulting. Summit Consulting's niche (code consulting, performance-based design) has smaller but higher-value search traffic — architecture and GC firms searching for engineering partners find them by referral only.

Actionable Protocol

These structural changes are the highest-leverage path to page 1. Most can be implemented within 30 days.

Convert each case study into a standalone indexed page

MN State Capitol, SSA Building, Lube Tech — each deserves a URL with project description, code challenge solved, and outcome. These pages rank for project-type + location queries architects use.

Publish technical fire code content targeting architect and GC audiences

Articles on performance-based fire design, IBC vs NFPA code interpretation, atrium smoke management in Minnesota — these are the searches that precede an RFQ to a consulting firm.

Add ProfessionalService schema with licensed PE credentials

Schema markup identifying the firm as a professional engineering/consulting practice with PE licensure in MN captures queries like "fire protection engineer near me" and "fire code consultant Minneapolis."
