Proof Point

Page-level GSC data showed 396 impressions and 8 clicks from August 2 through August 13, 2026.

Measurement Frame

What was measured.

Four readings from an eleven day window on a platform we do not control. The numbers are small on purpose and the blind spots are named rather than skipped.

The signal worth watching
Average position 4.7
strongest page, 2 to 13 August 2026

A small Wix legal site already being ranked on a specific Florida appellate topic. That is the finding, and it is the only number here that carries weight.

Honest scale
396 impressions, 8 clicks
page level, same window

Reported at this size deliberately. The claim is that a specific topic is being tested, not that anything has been won.

The reusable pattern
4 properties, 4 jobs
expertise, measurement, architecture, business logic

The split is the pattern. The client site keeps the legal expertise; three other properties carry the measuring, the naming, and the explaining it cannot do itself.

What cannot be seen
2 blind spots
query data privacy-thinned, no server logs on Wix

A case study built on a platform you do not control has to state what it cannot observe, or every conclusion inherits an unmarked gap.

Summary

The short version.

Florida On Appeal is not being moved into a marketing site. The legal content stays on the legal property.

The case study is about the support system around it: Krisada.com explains the marketing method, Real SEO Life preserves the measured proof, and Signal Architect Group frames the authority architecture. That split lets the legal site stay focused while the supporting properties talk about the SEO, entity, and trust signals around it.

Plain English

Explain it to me like I'm ten.

A friend's law firm website is small and new to search engines. Instead of changing her site, we're tracking its real Google numbers here and building support for it on our other websites, so her site can stay focused on being a law firm.

Impressions

Context

What was the system?

Florida On Appeal is a Wix site focused on Florida appellate law. The site has no local source tree in the PHP portfolio, so the warehouse and live crawl are the usable evidence layer.

The live site is indexable and has Wix-generated sitemap coverage. The crawl also found a practical authority issue: the social bar still points to Wix social profiles, which weakens the trust surface before any external support campaign begins.

The working property set is FloridaOnAppeal.com as the source property, Krisada.com as the personal marketing layer, RealSEOLife.com as the proof layer, and SignalArchitectGroup.com as the Digital Signal Architecture layer.

Methodology

What changed?

The analysis used the live Digital Karma Data Warehouse for Google Search Console data. The primary observation window was August 2 through August 13, 2026.

Because query-level GSC data is privacy-thinned on small properties, page-level performance was treated as the stronger source. Query rows were used only for directional topic confirmation.

The live Wix output was also checked for robots.txt, sitemap coverage, canonical tags, title and description data, BlogPosting schema, and visible trust leakage.

Findings

What did the evidence show?

  • Page-level GSC data showed 396 impressions and 8 clicks from August 2 through August 13, 2026.
  • The AI ethics article led the page set with 89 impressions, 2 clicks, and average position 9.2.
  • The reply brief article followed with 86 impressions, 2 clicks, and average position 8.7.
  • The multiple-answer-brief deadline article produced 78 impressions and average position 11.1, but no clicks yet.
  • The writ of prohibition article produced 51 impressions, 1 click, and average position 4.7.
  • The amicus briefs article produced 22 impressions and average position 5.2.
  • The warehouse query rows were thin, but the visible queries confirmed the topic direction: writ of prohibition Florida, Florida Bar AI rules, Florida Bar AI ethics opinion, Fla. R. App. P. 9.210, reply brief meaning, and First DCA.
  • The country table showed the strongest human signal in the United States, with 296 impressions and all 8 clicks.
  • No server-log or AI-crawler evidence exists for this Wix property in the warehouse, so AI visibility claims should not be made yet.
  • The best near-term opportunity is not moving content. It is cleaning trust signals, strengthening author/entity clarity, and supporting the source property with measured case-study pages on related authority sites.
What We Kept

What can be reused?
