NANCY – SPD Auto Repair, ZipWP & Monthly Reporting
SPD Auto Repair – Reviews From the Web
Site: https://spdautorepair.com/
Work Type: Manual + AI Work
Nancy reviewed a request to create a “Reviews from the web” section using the existing WP Review Slider Pro configuration.
The proposed section used review-source information for CarGurus, Yellow Pages, and Facebook and was positioned above the existing “What Our Customers Say” section.
During implementation, an older homepage version was saved by another editor, causing the newly added section to disappear. The section was reapplied, and a separate homepage content-display problem was subsequently repaired by restoring a known-good version.
The section was styled and later simplified following feedback to better match the existing website.
The requirement subsequently changed, and the new Reviews from the Web section was removed while preserving the original “What Our Customers Say” section.
Final Status: Requested Temporary Section Removed / Existing Reviews Preserved

- Navy and cyan visual system.
- Traffic metric cards.
- Page-view charts.

September Monthly Reports
September month-to-date reports were created for:

- All About Durham
The reporting period covered September 1–29, 2026.
Each report incorporated verified WP Statistics information, OpenClaw evidence, validation controls, source disclosures, completed work, recommendations, unavailable data, and release holds where applicable.

No client emails were sent, and no production systems were changed during this reporting work.

Stafford Monuments Limited and Strike Insurance each have two possible replacement images requiring manual selection. Thomas Efraim LLP still has no confirmed matching Drive image.
The Thomas Efraim LLP project page browser title continues to show “Blog – All About Web Services.” This was intentionally left unchanged because it predates the image-replacement work.
The AAWS Client Onboarding Form requires decisions on budget ranges, uploads, notifications, retention, Save/Resume behavior, and repeater compatibility before implementation.
SRT captions for the September 29 All About Durham video remain available for manual YouTube upload.
