SEO AUDIT REPORT: ResurgentSports.com

Resurgent Sports Rehab | Sports Physical Therapy | Fairfax & Chantilly, VA
Audit Date: March 16, 2026

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Resurgent Sports Rehab has a strong clinical brand (128 Google reviews at 5.0 stars, 8 DPTs with elite credentials) and a well-structured Squarespace site with sport-specific, condition-specific, and age-group pages. However, significant on-page SEO gaps — missing meta descriptions site-wide, inconsistent heading hierarchy, under-optimized schema markup, and zero blog content — are limiting organic visibility. The site does NOT appear on page 1 for the primary keyword “sports physical therapy fairfax va” but DOES rank #1 for broader “sports PT northern virginia.” Addressing the critical items below could substantially increase organic traffic within 3-6 months.
