Using the right meta title and description is the best practice for on page seo. Since the competition for the keywords are low, you should be able to rank easily for those keywords. All the very best

I am agree with quality link building. And, It may take certain time. I was assuming to Re-Furnish title tag and meta description for all pages. Because, Competition value is very low for both keywords. But, This is really insightful answer for me.

If i am not wrong then your site must be on top while you search for coldcasebeer.com
But if you are search for terms like "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" then you are not in the top. Because "coldcasebeer.com" is the complete domain name which you can easily get on top for. People basically are not searching for "coldcasebeer.com" until and unless they know it is a branded term. Where as "cold case beer" and "coldcasebeer" can still have some search volumes and people may still be searching for these terms on google. These exactly are keywords that you need to rank for. And your domains is an EMD ( Exact match domain ) which means your domain name contains the exact keywords that people are searching for.
In order to rank for these terms you need to create quality backlinks using the these keywords as your anchor text. Don't over do it. You can use closely related terms as well when you are building backlinks. You backlink profile needs to have the right balance between the anchor texts you are using. Create backlinks related to "branded terms" as well.

Star rating in Google snippet
I have implemented a star rating from jetpack on my website. But google stubbornly refuses to display stars in the snippet. 2 months have already passed. Maybe I did something wrong? I must say that I did not cheat artificially. https://exoticfonts.com/discord-fonts-generator/

Disappearing and reappearing in google index
Hello. I made a lot of car accident lawyer city pages. They probably weren't as unique as they should have been. Suddenly, they all disappeared from the rankings and I freaked out. Then, two days later, they all returned. Is this a bad sign? Should I be worried? Why would they drop out of the rankings and come back in? Let me know, thanks.
