HEATWAVE – 2027 Registration Form Improvements
Website: https://heatwaveevents.com/form/2027-online-registration-form/
Work Type: AI-Assisted Development + OpenClaw + Manual QA
Nancy continued refining the seven-step registration workflow.
Sponsorship-included uniform allowances were implemented and verified:
Sponsorship Included teams
Team Sponsor 1
Bronze Sponsor 2
Silver Sponsor 4
Gold Sponsor 6
Title Sponsor 7
Included sponsorship uniforms were identified as having no additional charge, while additional team entries and optional paid apparel remained separate.
Six shirt/print color combinations were added, sample images were enlarged, side-view images were removed, and “Manual” payment references were removed from the active form and related components.
Payment & Pricing Verification
Available payment methods were checked, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Interac e-Transfer.
A Bronze Sponsor scenario involving three teams was verified with a reported total of $6,424.05 including HST.
Server-side calculations, included-team allowances, and additional-team pricing were reviewed.
Save & Continue and Responsive QA
The Save & Continue workflow was tested for restoring saved values and returning to the Review step.
Backward/forward navigation and retention of company, contact, event, team, and captain information were checked.
Desktop and mobile-emulation testing was completed across all seven steps.
The report identified two follow-up items: an Apparel “No” selection-retention issue and a mobile document-width signal. No visible form clipping was observed, but physical-device testing remains recommended.
No actual registration was submitted or email sent during the documented QA checks.
Status: Core Changes Completed; Follow-Up QA Required

Lenders Consulting – Dashboard & Upload Fixes

A dedicated LDC Upload Auth Fix plugin was implemented instead of modifying SureForms core files.
Testing with the End Test Inc. account confirmed a successful PDF upload, with the file visible under Recent Files.
The unintended raw [discount_partner_account_summary] shortcode was also removed from the dashboard.
Status: Fixes Implemented and Verified; Client Final Testing Pending

Work Type: AI + Manual SEO Documentation
Kat prepared a detailed report documenting the previous day’s SEO corrections, including:
- One low-word-count page.
- Three overly long title tags.
- One poorly formatted URL.
The report distinguished completed changes from future audit confirmation and did not claim unverified ranking or traffic improvements.

Canadian Obituaries – Duplicate Metadata Fixes
Website: https://canadianobituaries.com/
Work Type: AI + Manual SEO Optimization
The Ubersuggest audit identified 1,208 pages with multiple meta-description tags.

Corrections were completed for 100 directory listing pages, each receiving an individual, page-relevant SureRank description.
Manual page-by-page verification was reported for the corrected records.
The underlying plugin conflict remains unresolved globally, meaning newly created directory listings may still require individual metadata configuration or a permanent system-level fix.

The old plugin version remains inactive and can be removed later after confirming it is no longer needed.
