Subject The fifteen keywords, as promised
Status DRAFT, not sent. Awaiting your go.
Read this before the email. We already wrote to them 14 hours ago. Resend id 0ebd3169, subject "15 of your pages are one spot from the traffic", sent 2026-08-24. They have not replied. COMMITMENTS.md carries the open promise: "walk them through the 15 pages sitting at positions 4 to 10".

So a second pitch would be pushy, and I have not written one. No price, no agency comparison, no subscribe button. Yesterday's email asked them to reply for the list. This one just sends the list. It is the promise delivered rather than repeated, and it is the only thing worth putting in their inbox today.
What changed since yesterday. The 8th post landed (payroll outsourcing, the one I named as next). The trial expired at 06:57:47 today, about two hours ago, and all 30 queued rows flipped to expired_trial. 8 delivered, 8 live, zero errors across the whole trial.

Hi,

I said I would go through those fifteen keywords with you, so here they are. No reply needed.

They sit at positions four to ten in the Philippines, which is where people see you and click somebody else. Together they are 16,340 searches a month. What surprised me is that almost all of them land on four pages.

Your Megiko Dormitel listing carries five of them, including "megiko davao" at 4,400 searches a month, position 7. Your Pag-IBIG Fund branch page carries six, mostly people hunting for the phone number and the Matina branch. Vitalab Matina is 2,400 a month at position 10. Your Davao del Sur agriculture page holds "sumifru philippines corporation davao" at 1,600.

None of those need new content. They need the page title and the description to answer the search directly. Somebody typing "pag ibig davao phone number" wants the number in the title, not the listing name.

One easy one while you are in there: your "20 Top Companies to Work in Davao" page still says 2023 in the URL and the title. It ranks at position 8 for "davao companies". A 2026 refresh usually moves a page like that on its own.

Separately, the eight posts from the trial are all live on your site, and the last one landed this morning. They are yours to keep whatever you decide.

What the site actually is, which the URLs gave away

Davao Corporate is a business and government directory, not a corporate services firm. Every ranking page is a listing: Megiko Dormitel, Vitalab, the Pag-IBIG Fund branch, Davao del Sur agriculture. Their traffic is people looking up a specific local business or a government office phone number.

Their wizard answers said niche "Corporation" and seed topics "corporate services, davao legal consultation, davao business solutions", which is why our eight posts are BIR forms, mayor's permits, DOLE checklists and payroll. That is complementary rather than wrong: guides for people doing business in Davao, sitting next to a directory of Davao businesses. But it is not where their traffic lives today, and the email is honest about that by leading with their pages, not ours.

My recommendation

Send this one, and treat it as the last touch for now. It closes the open promise in COMMITMENTS.md, it gives them something they can act on without us, and it leaves the door open without asking for anything. If they reply, that is the conversion conversation. If they do not, we have behaved well and the eight posts are still on their site.
