Why

GSC (3 months to 2026-08-12): the queries "google timeline" and "google timeline history" generate ~38k impressions but only 0.1–0.3% CTR. The visualizer serves them at position ~8.6 with a title that doesn't speak to why these people are searching — Google removed Timeline from the web and they want it back. Meanwhile /tools/google-timeline-converter/ converts at 18.5% CTR (pos 4.7) but is under-impressed at only 1.3k impressions/3mo.

What

  • Visualizer title → "Google Timeline Visualizer — View Your Timeline on the Web Again". The phrase "Google Timeline Visualizer" stays contiguous: the branded query runs 28.9% CTR at pos 1.8 and must not regress.
  • New 159-char meta description and hero copy lead with the shutdown.
  • Two new FAQ items, automatically included in the existing FAQPage JSON-LD: "Where did my Google Timeline go?" and "How can I view my Google Timeline on the web again?"
  • Contextual links to the Google Timeline Converter from the visualizer's export instructions and from two timeline blog posts (added below the <!-- truncate --> marker, so blog-index excerpts are unchanged).

Verification

npm run build green; new title, meta, FAQ (visible + JSON-LD) and links confirmed present in the built HTML. The four #pricing broken-anchor warnings are pre-existing and unrelated.

Measure

Re-check GSC CTR on "google timeline" / "google timeline history" at 2 and 4 weeks against the 0.1% / 0.3% baseline.

…earchers

- Lead title, meta description and hero with the web Timeline shutdown
  while keeping the 'Google Timeline Visualizer' brand phrase intact
- Add two FAQ entries (auto-fed into FAQPage JSON-LD) for
  'where did my google timeline go' / 'view google timeline on the web'
- Link the Google Timeline Converter from the visualizer export
  instructions and two timeline blog posts
