# Chapter 13 Bankruptcy — Remodel Notes

**URL:** https://www.debtfreehawaii.com/services/chapter-13-bankruptcy/  ·  **Page ID:** 634
**Platform:** WordPress + Elementor · SEO plugin **Yoast** · Classic editor for the post/ACF
**Drafted:** 2026-06-16. Mirrors the Foreclosure / Ch7 / Debt Settlement remodels (same template & voice rules).
**Status:** building + applying live (additive trust elements only).

## Stored findings (REST context=edit on 634 + classic editor, 2026-06-16)
This page is the LEAST naming-deficient of the money pages — the Honolulu work is essentially already done:
- **H1 / post title:** `Honolulu Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney`  ✅ Honolulu-led
- **Yoast SEO title:** `Honolulu Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney | Blake Goodman, PC`  ✅ optimized (~58 chars)
- **Yoast meta:** `Our Honolulu Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorneys can help you reorganize debt with manageable repayment plans. Contact our law firm for a free consultation!`  ✅ names Honolulu (optional: append phone)
- **Hero intro (ACF `banner_description`):** names Honolulu 2x; reorganize/repayment-plan + stop-foreclosure angle. ⚠️ contains "**expert legal advice**" — mild puffery; recommend softening to "experienced legal guidance" (claim discipline: "specialist" is prohibited; "expert" is borderline). Optional, classic-editor edit (Yoast-blank gotcha applies).
- **Body naming:** Honolulu 1x, Hawaii 6x in `_elementor_data`. Conservative call: do NOT blanket-edit — the high-weight spots already name the city. (Audit's naming lever targets the 0x pages: Foreclosure, Credit Score.)
- **Schema present:** FAQPage (in Elementor body) + the SEO-plugin LegalService/Org. **No Person/author node. No Review schema.**
- **post_content:** 12 H2s feeding ez-toc (do not desync — no heading edits planned).
- **Internal links:** only **1** (→ Chapter 7). Thin. Add contextual links to related services + the questionnaire.

## The changes (additive; mirrors the approved pattern)
1. **Byline** (`byline.html`) — visible "Written by Blake Goodman, Esq." card in an Elementor HTML widget at the top of the first content column. (YMYL trust gap.)
2. **Person/author JSON-LD** (`author-schema.html`) — additive HTML widget. Do NOT duplicate Org/LegalService or add another FAQPage.
3. **Two reviews** (`reviews.html`) — Vai Caling (idx 230, Ch.13) + Sissy Malvas (idx 272, Ch.13), verbatim/trimmed, visible-only. HTML widget near the end of the body. Alt: Jordan J (idx 829) for a Maui voice. NO results-may-vary disclaimer (client instruction).
4. **Internal links** — weave contextual anchors into existing body prose: Debt Settlement, Foreclosure Defense, the Honolulu Bankruptcy Lawyers hub, and the free questionnaire (Chapter 7 is already linked).
5. **Title / H1 / Yoast title / Yoast meta / hero** — already Honolulu-optimized; LEAVE AS-IS (verified via stored read, not skipped). Optional flagged tweaks: soften hero "expert legal advice"; append `Call 808-517-5446.` to the meta.
6. **FAQ schema** — already present; `faq-schema.html` is a no-op.

## Validation checklist (when applied)
- [ ] Byline visible under H1; headshot loads; bio link resolves.
- [ ] **Person** JSON-LD validates (Rich Results) and is additive — no new FAQ/Org/Review nodes; still exactly 1 FAQPage.
- [ ] Two reviews render; name + "Read on Google" links resolve; mark them `live` in `REVIEW_USAGE.md`.
- [ ] New internal links resolve (Debt Settlement / Foreclosure / Honolulu hub / questionnaire).
- [ ] _elementor_data JSON re-parses before PUT; backup saved to localStorage.
- [ ] Clear Elementor cache (Tools → Clear Files & Data) + flush Object Cache; purge Cloudflare.
- [ ] Verify at origin via `?x=N` (CF bypass): 1 Person + 1 FAQPage, no dupes; byline + reviews render.
- [ ] Request Indexing in Search Console; log publish date; 4-6 week rank check.

## Reviews used
- Vai Caling (idx 230) + Sissy Malvas (idx 272) → mark `live` in `content/reviews/REVIEW_USAGE.md` on publish.
