325 on page one. 763 in September. Twelve months.
Jimmy’s Java is a specialty coffee roaster in Southwest Florida, selling single-origin, flavoured, decaf and low-acid coffee through its Shopify store. In October 2025, 325 keywords put jimmysjava.com on Google’s first page. In September 2026 it was 763, with 191 in the top three, up from 89. Here is every month from 1 October 2025 to 29 September 2026.
Where it started
A coffee store sitting on page two
In October 2025, jimmysjava.com averaged position 12.7. That is the top of page two. Search Console recorded 18,909 impressions, and 325 keywords reached the first page during the month. October is the first full month after Google changed how Search Console counts impressions in mid-September 2025, so the baseline compares like with like.

- Just short of the first page.At an average position of 12.7, the typical appearance came on page two, where few searchers look. Of 906 keywords that returned the site in October, 325 reached page one and 89 the top three.
- A large catalogue to describe.The store lists 116 products across 285 URLs. Each needed its own heading, title and description, written around the product’s own search terms so that no two pages compete for the same search.
- No pages for shopping by origin.The store had 11 collections and none of them by country, although origin searches such as Colombian coffee carry clear buying intent.
- A real product edge to build on.Low-acid coffee, through the Brazil, Sumatra and Monsoon Malabar lines, is where the roaster has a genuine advantage, and the clearest place to start answering the questions buyers search before they choose a coffee.

The full arc
Two measures, two charts. Keyword counts and impressions sit on different scales, so putting them on one axis would flatter the story.
Keywords on page one
Keywords averaging position 10 or better in the month. September 2026 holds 29 days of data and has a dashed outline and lighter fill.
Sep 26: 763 keywords on page one, 191 in the top 3, 34,568 impressions, 29 days.
Impressions per month
How often the site appeared in Google results. September 2026 holds 29 days of data.
Sep 26: 34,568 impressions, 763 keywords on page one, position 9.7, 29 days.
Search footprint
From 1,759 keywords to 3,479
Monthly counts move with the season. A 90-day view is steadier. This compares the first 90 days of the window with the most recent 90, measured in Search Console.

The three keyword measures share one scale, with 3,479 as the widest measure. Impressions are shown separately. First 90 days: 1 October to 29 December 2025. Most recent 90: 2 July to 29 September 2026. Each keyword is counted once per window, at its average position across the window. Both windows fall after Google’s mid-September 2025 reporting change.

The work
Product pages first. Then content and structure.
Taken from our project summary, last updated 14 August 2026. It records what was delivered rather than a dated task log, so the phases below carry no dates.
On-page
One keyword per product page
- Metadata workbook covering all 116 product URLs, with keyword-led titles of 60 characters or fewer
- Every title and description unique, so no two products compete for the same search
- 32 product pages fully optimised in Shopify: heading, meta title and meta description
- Those 32 span 17 single-origin coffees, 9 flavoured coffees and 6 blends and decafs
- URL audit: duplicate and misspelled product addresses flagged for redirects, utility pages for noindex
89 → 191keywords in the top 3, October 2025 against September 2026
Content and structure
Content built around low-acid coffee
- 60 informational keywords across 10 topic clusters, each checked against every existing URL for overlap
- Four low-acid posts published, from what low-acid coffee is to whether dark roast has less acid than light
- Four roast and origin posts in production, written to link into the low-acid set and the product pages
- Collection plan: every product mapped into 24 proposed collections, 11 of them by origin
0 → 5,665impressions for the four low-acid posts over three months, two of them on page one, as recorded in our August 2026 report
