Add internal links to enrollment, packages, scheduling, and contact. Use photos that show real school context when available. Keep sitemap and canonical URLs clean.

When to stop using spreadsheets and use software

Stop managing the website launch in a spreadsheet when package details, service areas, permit steps, waivers, enrollment CTAs, and SEO fields need to stay connected to live pages.
