Your menu and your site no longer match — 31 shows, 4 communities and 2 mastheads with no way in
Your navigation currently lists 89 entries leading to 77 different places, and it no longer matches the site behind it: four community sections created this month are not in it, two of your headings are listed in it twice over, none of the 31 shows in the CNEWS TV archive is reachable from the menu at all, and 15 of the 98 links that are there drew no clicks and appeared in no search result in 90 days. That structure is also what a search engine reads to work out which of your pages matter, and the gap shows up in your own Search Console record: 86.7% of your search clicks over those 90 days came from people searching a subject rather than your name, and the clearest misses sit behind sections the menu cannot reach — four searches about the Cutler Bay lawsuit settlement averaged a top-ten position across 15,737 impressions and returned not one click, and 277 articles already in your archive name small business with no section collecting them. This document prices bringing the menu into line with the site and with that demand — four items, priced separately, each one a menu change only.
Every figure in this document comes from your own site and from Google's record of it, both read on 23 September 2026, and each one is delivered back to you as a list you can check rather than a number to take on trust.
This is navigation work and only navigation work. No category is created, renamed, merged or deleted by anything priced here, and no article is recategorised or moved. Where an item depends on a category change, it is applied after that change has landed and is verified against the live category.
Nothing is deleted. Menu entries that come out are archived into the retired-menu-items list your site already keeps, and every page behind them stays published, indexed and reachable. Every item records the menu before and after and can be put back.
The research behind this document — the taxonomy review across all four axes, the sweep of all 4,161 CNEWS TV articles, and the 90-day measurement of all 98 navigation links — is not charged for. It is complete and it is handed to these items at no cost.
The four priced items are independent of one another and can be taken in any combination. The first is the one the others read from, and taking it first costs less overall than taking it later.
On search, so the reason for the work is on the document rather than in a conversation: the figures above come from Google's own record of your site for the 90 days to 22 September 2026 — 2,066 clicks from 503,071 impressions across 32,000 distinct queries. What they describe is not a ranking problem. You already rank: the Cutler Bay settlement searches sit in the top ten, and the demand behind small business, the civic associations and the four new community sections is already answered by articles in your archive. What is missing is the route to them — a menu entry that carries a reader from one result into the rest of the coverage, and a structure that tells a search engine those pages belong together. That is what these four items build, and it is the whole of what they build.
This is not sold as a traffic forecast. No ranking position, click volume or revenue figure is promised here for any term, because none of those is ours to promise, and a number invented for a quote is worth nothing to either of us. Every proof on this document is a proof about your own site: a menu entry that resolves, a destination that opens, a structure captured before and after. Those we can put in your hand.
ItemAmount
Item 1
Four communities with no way in, and the two headings your menu lists twice
$1,025.00
The approved design keeps eight headings across the top of your site, and two of them — CNEWS TV and Inspire — stay exactly where they are. This item builds the parts of that design that touch the Publications menu and the community grid beneath it, and it starts with the two headings your menu currently lists twice.
CNEWS TV appears twice: the same words, in the same bar, one directly inside the other, and both copies open cnewstv.com. One of the two comes out. The heading that stays becomes a menu rather than a link that leaves your site on the first click, and the link inside it — Watch CNEWS TV — still opens cnewstv.com, because that is where the broadcast lives and the design keeps it there deliberately.
Inspire has the same shape of problem one level down. The Inspire heading and the Articles entry sitting underneath it open the same page, so the heading competes with its own child. The design separates the three reading paths that already exist on your site — the magazine, its articles, and its past editions — and gives each one its own entry.
Inspire Magazine then appears in a second place as well, inside the Publications menu, and that one is deliberate rather than a duplicate. Publications is where a reader goes to read an edition; the Inspire heading is where a reader goes for the magazine as a brand. A reader already in the editions menu can step straight across to the magazine without returning to the top bar. It is recorded as an intentional cross-link, so that a later pass hunting repeated destinations does not strip it out as one.
Separately, four community sections were created on your site this month — Homestead, Wynwood, Hialeah and Dadeland — and none of the four reached the menu. They are real sections with real articles in them and there is no way to navigate to any of them. Brickell, created alongside them, did reach the menu. Adding the other four takes the grid from 22 entries to 26.
The grid also lists three destinations twice. Two entries, labelled differently, open the same Miami-Dade page; a third copy of it sits in the Categories menu. And the entry labelled North Miami Beach does not open North Miami Beach — it opens North Miami, the same page the entry above it opens. North Miami Beach has no working way in.
- ☐The doubled CNEWS TV heading reduced to one, and the heading that stays turned into a working menu whose Watch CNEWS TV link still opens cnewstv.com$225
- ☐Inspire’s heading separated from its own Articles entry, its three reading paths given distinct destinations, and Inspire Magazine cross-linked into Publications and recorded as intentional$255
- ☐Homestead, Wynwood, Hialeah and Dadeland added — the grid from 22 entries to 26 — on both the header and the footer$240
- ☐The remaining repeated destinations inside the grid resolved, and the entry that sends North Miami Beach to another community’s page repointed once its own section is live$175
- ☐The whole menu tree recorded before and after, with a documented way back$130
- ☐CNEWS TV listed once instead of twice, and its heading opening a menu rather than leaving your site on the first click — proof: the heading shown before and after, and the Watch CNEWS TV link followed to where it lands
- ☐The Inspire heading and its Articles entry no longer opening the same page, and the magazine, the articles and the past editions each reachable on their own — proof: all three followed and shown arriving at three different places
- ☐Inspire Magazine reachable from inside the Publications menu as well as from its own heading — proof: both entries followed, and the two-place appearance written into the menu record as intentional so a later pass does not remove it
- ☐All four new community sections reachable from the menu — proof: each of the four opened from the menu and shown carrying articles
- ☐North Miami Beach opening North Miami Beach rather than North Miami — proof: the entry followed, before and after. That address redirects to North Miami today, so this one entry is repointed once the separate section work already under way has landed, and is reported as not yet applied until it does
- ☐Every repeated destination inside the community grid resolved — proof: the grid’s destinations listed, each appearing once
- ☐Header and footer carrying the same structure — proof: both shown, at desktop and phone widths
- ☐Every change recorded before and after and reversible — proof: the two states stored, and a reversal performed once and shown undone
- ☐No category created, renamed, merged or deleted, and no article recategorised — proof: the category list compared before and after, shown unchanged
This item is listed first because the other three read from the menu it rebuilds. Every change here is a menu change: no category is created, renamed or merged, and no article moves. One entry — North Miami Beach — needs a section that does not exist yet, and it is the single item here that waits on work outside this document.
Item 2
A CNEWS TV shows menu — which your navigation does not currently have
$1,050.00
A sweep of all 4,161 CNEWS TV articles found 31 distinct named shows and podcasts. Route 664 has 111 articles behind it. MiamiHal has 74. The Autism Dad has 80.
None of the 31 is in your navigation. The CNEWS TV heading opens a list of seven people — Grant Miller, Michael Miller, Susan Miller, Gloria Burns, Willard Shepard, Fara Sax, Wilson Alvarez — and nothing else. There is no way to navigate to a show. A reader who knows the name of a programme you produce cannot find it from your menu, and 31 franchises' worth of archive is reachable only by search.
So this is building a menu that does not exist rather than tidying one that does, and it is priced as a build.
Not all 31 belong in a primary menu. 18 have published this year. 12 have not published at all in 2026, several not for over a year, and one carries no article under the CNEWS TV section at all. A menu that lists all 31 equally tells a reader that a show last seen in 2022 is as current as one that published this week.
The 18 active shows are what the menu is built from. A caution on that, stated now rather than discovered later: the 31 shows were found by sweeping article titles, which proves the coverage exists but does not prove each show has a page of its own to open. Every one of the 18 is checked for a real destination before it becomes an entry. Those that have one are menued. Any that does not is written up for you by name, with what was found at its address — it is not pointed at a placeholder, and it is not left out quietly. The 12 dormant ones come out of primary navigation and go into the archive list your site already keeps for retired menu items — their articles stay published, stay indexed and stay reachable exactly as they are today. Nothing is deleted and no article moves.
- ☐All 31 shows resolved to a real last-published date across the full 4,161-article archive, saved as a re-checkable record$245
- ☐Each of the 18 active shows confirmed to have a working destination before it becomes a menu entry$255
- ☐The shows menu built from the 18, on both the header and the footer$285
- ☐The 12 dormant shows placed in your existing retired-menu-items archive, articles left live and indexed$155
- ☐The whole menu tree recorded before and after, with a documented way back$110
- ☐All 31 shows listed with the date each last published — proof: the list, re-derived from the archive rather than quoted, and re-runnable
- ☐The split into 18 active and 12 dormant shown against those dates, not asserted — proof: the dated list with the line drawn on it
- ☐The one show carrying no article under CNEWS TV identified and reported rather than dropped — proof: named individually, with what was found
- ☐Each of the 18 checked for a real page carrying that show's articles — proof: all 18 opened and shown, none omitted
- ☐A shows menu live under CNEWS TV on header and footer, carrying every show that has a real destination — proof: both shown, at desktop and phone widths
- ☐Any show without a real destination delivered as a named content gap rather than linked to a placeholder or dropped in silence — proof: each one listed, with what was found at its address
- ☐The 12 dormant shows still fully reachable and still indexed — proof: each of the 12 opened and shown carrying its articles, and its indexing status shown unchanged
- ☐The seven host entries unchanged — proof: compared before and after, shown identical
- ☐Every change recorded before and after and reversible — proof: the two states stored, and a reversal performed once and shown undone
The seven people currently listed under CNEWS TV are left exactly as they are by this item. They are a separate structure and they are the subject of the follow-on phase described at the end of this document.
Item 3
The Categories menu, rebuilt to match the sections your site actually has
$1,150.00
Your Categories menu has five entries: Miami Cannabis News, Automotive Car Reviews, FIU, Miami-Dade Community News, and Sponsored Content. Your site has hundreds of categories. The menu is not a summary of them — it is five that happened to be added at some point and never revisited.
The taxonomy work already underway produces eleven changes that a reader can only benefit from if the menu shows them, and this item is that half of the job and only that half.
Legal Notices is the largest piece. Three separate menu entries — Legal Notices, Place Legal Notice, Fictitious Name — all open the same single page. The taxonomy work turns the flat set of notice categories into one real hierarchy, and this rebuilds the menu branch to match it so that a reader looking for a city's notices can get to that city's notices.
Higher Education is the clearest example of the gap. FIU sits in the menu as a lone entry, which was accurate when FIU was a standalone category. It no longer is: it is now one institution under a Higher Education parent alongside the University of Miami and Miami Dade College. The menu still shows the old shape.
The rest are Small Business, Civic & Trade Associations and Government Agencies appearing as new headings with their groupings under them, and the rename set — Health, Cannabis News, Dining & Entertainment and Newsletters — carried into the menu labels, together with the Political and Podcasts separation.
Each of the eleven is applied to the menu only after its category has actually landed, and is verified against the live category rather than against a plan.
- ☐The Legal Notices branch rebuilt as one hierarchy — today three menu entries that all open the same page$325
- ☐Higher Education established as a menu parent over its institutions, replacing the single standalone entry$235
- ☐Small Business, Civic & Trade Associations and Government Agencies added as headings with their groupings$265
- ☐The rename set carried into the menu labels, and Political and Podcasts separated$185
- ☐Each change verified against its live category before it is applied, on both header and footer$140
- ☐All eleven changes listed with the live category each depends on — proof: the list, each row naming its category and its current state
- ☐The Legal Notices branch opening a real hierarchy — proof: the branch shown before and after, and a city's notices reached from it
- ☐Higher Education shown as a parent with its institutions under it — proof: the branch shown before and after
- ☐Small Business, Civic & Trade Associations and Government Agencies reachable from the menu — proof: each opened and shown carrying articles
- ☐Every renamed section carrying its new label in the menu — proof: the labels compared against the live category names, shown matching
- ☐Any of the eleven whose category has not landed reported as not applied rather than shown as done — proof: the status of all eleven, none left blank
- ☐Header and footer carrying the same structure — proof: both shown, at desktop and phone widths
- ☐Every change recorded before and after and reversible — proof: the two states stored, and a reversal performed once and shown undone
This item prices the menu only. Creating, merging and renaming the categories themselves is separate work, tracked and billed on its own as each one lands, and nothing in this item repeats any part of it.
Item 4
The 15 menu links nobody has used in 90 days
$690.00
Every link in your header and footer was measured against Google's own record for the 90 days to 22 September. 98 links. 15 of them drew no clicks and appeared in no search result at all.
They are not all the same kind of nothing, and treating them as one list would get several of them wrong.
Some are genuinely dead weight — a policy page, a newsletter sign-up duplicated by a second sign-up link that does get used, a photo gallery link that duplicates a category doing the same job, and a services page. Those are the removal candidates.
Some should not be touched. Two are machine addresses — your feed and your sitemap — which are read by software and are not supposed to appear in search results; their zero is correct behaviour, not decay. Three are individual articles surfaced in the footer rather than navigation sections at all, and an individual article drawing no clicks in 90 days is ordinary. One is FIU, which registered nothing because it was hidden from search entirely, and that has already been corrected outside this document — removing it would undo a fix. Two are Inspire pages handled by the first item above. One is a host page and belongs to the follow-on phase at the end of this document.
So each of the 15 is opened and ruled on individually, and the ones that come out are archived into the retired-menu-items list your site already keeps, not deleted.
Three further entries repeat a destination already in the menu, which Google's record cannot show — two links to the same page look like one page with one score. Those are resolved here.
A fourth group is reported and deliberately not acted on: 35 more links were shown in search results and drew no clicks at all. That is a different problem with a different answer, and this item delivers the ranked list rather than quietly folding it into the removals.
- ☐All 15 opened and ruled on individually, with the reason recorded for each$185
- ☐The genuine dead entries removed or re-homed, archived into your retired-menu-items list rather than deleted$195
- ☐The three remaining repeated destinations resolved$120
- ☐The 35 links that are shown in search results but never clicked, delivered as a ranked list with no action taken$95
- ☐The whole menu tree recorded before and after, with a documented way back$95
- ☐All 15 assessed one at a time — proof: the list, every link carrying a finding and the reason for it, none left blank
- ☐Links whose zero is correct behaviour distinguished from links that are genuinely unused — proof: stated per link, with the reason
- ☐Removal or re-homing applied only where you agreed — proof: your marked list and the executed list compared, identical
- ☐Every removed entry still reachable in the retired-menu-items archive — proof: the archive shown carrying each of them
- ☐No page deleted, unpublished or redirected — proof: each affected address opened after the change and shown still loading
- ☐The three repeated destinations resolved — proof: the menu's destinations listed, each appearing once
- ☐The 35 shown-but-never-clicked links delivered as a ranked list — proof: the list, ordered, with the 90-day figures against each
- ☐Every change recorded before and after and reversible — proof: the two states stored, and a reversal performed once and shown undone
Nothing here is removed on the strength of the measurement alone. The measurement selects what to look at; the ruling on each one is made individually, and only what you approve comes out.
Item 5
Host and author pages — the phase after this one, not priced here
$0.00
The seven people listed under CNEWS TV — Grant Miller, Michael Miller, Susan Miller, Gloria Burns, Willard Shepard, Fara Sax, Wilson Alvarez — are not changed by anything in this document.
That is deliberate. Restructuring them properly depends on work that has not run yet: the same person appears on your site under more than one author record, some author records are a person and some are the newspaper itself or an outside contributor, and several of these seven are hosts of a show rather than writers of articles. Rebuilding the menu around them before that is settled would put a structure on top of records that are about to change, and it would have to be rebuilt again.
So this is named as the next phase rather than folded into this one, and it is carried at no charge here so that the boundary of this document is on the document rather than left to be discovered later.
- ☐The seven host entries explicitly out of scope for every item above, and verified unchanged on delivery
- ☐The seven host entries compared before and after the work in this document — proof: the two states shown identical
Carried at zero. It is a statement of scope, not a charge.
