## Growth — Show Pages
*Own a search result per major TV/film title. Pull together every nomination, win, critic quote, and season for major shows. Already have the data — need to surface it per-show.*

- [ ] Design the show page template (nominations by year, wins, critic consensus, where to watch)
- [ ] Build pilot pages for 5–10 high-traffic shows (The Bear, Succession, Severance, Squid Game, White Lotus, etc.)
- [ ] PowerShell script to cross-reference existing nominee data into show pages automatically
- [ ] Add show pages to search index

## Growth — Critics Directory
*`critics.html` is the hidden gem. Build it into the destination for "which critics to follow during awards season." No one has done this well.*

- [x] Add **Omar L. Gallaga** (TV critic) — site: http://terribly-happy.com
- [ ] Expand each critic entry: publication, beat, awards track record, links to their work, social
- [ ] Add a "critics to follow right now" seasonal feature tied to the awards calendar
- [ ] Build out a TV critics newsletter roundup — which critics have newsletters, what they cover
- [ ] Create individual critic profile pages for the 50–100 most important TV/film critics

## Growth — Prediction Pages
*Publish structured predictions pages 2–3 weeks before every major ceremony, updated weekly. These rank heavily in the days before shows and pull large search traffic.*

- [ ] Build a prediction page template (category, frontrunner, contenders, our pick, odds)
- [ ] Publish predictions pages for every remaining 2026 ceremony (Emmys, BAFTAs TV, etc.)
- [ ] Update predictions weekly in the lead-up to each ceremony
- [ ] Link predictions pages prominently from each show's index page

## Growth — "Where the Critics Stand"
*Aggregate critical consensus on major nominees — pull quotes from named critics, not just RT scores. Readable Metacritic. Editorial value + SEO value.*

- [ ] Design the format: per-film or per-show page with critic quotes, scores, consensus summary
- [ ] Build pilot pages for the major 2026 Oscar nominees (One Battle After Another, Sinners, Hamnet, etc.)
- [ ] Establish a process for adding critic quotes ahead of each awards season

## Growth — Schema Markup
*Pure technical win. Add structured data so Google can surface winners as rich results / answer boxes. No content work required — just markup on existing pages.*

- [ ] Add `Event` schema to all ceremony pages (date, location, organizer)
- [ ] Add `ItemList` schema to winner lists on year pages
- [ ] Add `Person` schema to critic profile pages
- [ ] Validate with Google's Rich Results Test after each batch
- [ ] Priority: Oscars, Emmys, BAFTAs, Globes year pages first

## Growth — Google Search Console
*Verification tag already on index.html (`ExHSp2sVy-tbVi_ZwJexjtl6JFleKcTmhexVv44xVK8`). Check if verified — may already have months of query data.*

- [ ] Verify tvreviewer.com in Search Console (or confirm it's already verified)
- [ ] Review top queries and top pages reports
- [ ] Identify high-impression / low-click-through pages and improve their titles/descriptions
- [ ] Submit sitemap (generate one if it doesn't exist)

## Growth — Strategy Notes
*Things NOT to do: don't write original TV reviews (can't compete with Vulture/AV Club on volume), don't chase social media, don't build a forum.*

*The winnable position: "best awards and critical intelligence site for TV and film" — where you go to find out who won, who the critics love, who to follow, what the odds are.*
