A site that already ranks on day one.
Most agencies design the site, launch it, then "SEO it" afterward. Backwards. We architect information, schema, internal linking, and Core Web Vitals into the wireframes — so the site ranks the moment it's indexed.
Beautiful sites that can't rank.
The agency site that won a Dribbble award last year is probably on page 4. We've rebuilt dozens of "beautifully redesigned" sites whose rankings collapsed the week they launched, because the redesign threw away every SEO signal the old site was quietly earning.
Shipped pretty. Ranks blind.
- Single-page hero with auto-play video, zero scannable H1
- No service pages — "we do it all" bucket page for every offering
- Zero schema markup; generic meta titles on every URL
- Hero image at 3.8MB; LCP clocks 4.6s on mobile
- 12 third-party scripts fire on page load for analytics vanity
- 301 redirects from old URLs skipped; old rankings dropped
Ships rankable. Stays rankable.
- Dedicated page per service + service-area combination
- LocalBusiness + Service + FAQ schema on every template
- Internal link graph mapped to target keyword clusters
- LCP asset preloaded; hero ships at 180KB AVIF
- All old URL rankings preserved via audited 301 map
- CMS shipped with on-page SEO controls your team can use
Three layers. Every one built to rank.
We design across three layers simultaneously — architecture, content structure, and technical posture. They have to be decided together, not bolted together at the end.
Architecture first
Sitemap driven by keyword research — every target term gets a page, every page has one job. Internal linking maps topical clusters so ranking power flows where it should.
Content for intent
Copy written to the search intent behind each URL. Service pages that convert. Location pages that actually rank locally. Blog structure that builds topical authority over time.
Technical baked in
Core Web Vitals passing at launch, not "we'll fix it later". CMS built so non-technical staff can edit meta titles, canonical tags, and alt text without breaking rankings.
What owners ask before rebuilding.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, book a call — we'll audit your current site and show you which ranking signals a redesign would either preserve or kill.
Will I lose my current rankings during the launch?
Not if we do it right. Ranking loss from a redesign is almost always caused by missed 301 redirects, changed URL structures without canonical handling, or stripped schema. We map every old URL, preserve every earned ranking, and stage the launch so nothing drops.
What platform do you build on?
We prefer WordPress (for content-heavy sites) or Next.js (for bespoke or headless). We'll recommend based on your team's technical comfort, CMS requirements, and performance ceiling. No Wix or Squarespace — they cap what you can do for SEO.
How long does a rebuild take?
A local service business build is typically 8–10 weeks end-to-end. A multi-location or content-heavy site is 12–16 weeks. We stage go-live carefully so you're not in a rush-job situation at launch.
Do I keep my old content?
Yes, and we'll tell you which pieces to keep, update, or redirect. Old blog posts that rank stay live with updated formatting. Thin, never-ranked content often gets merged or dropped — that actually helps rankings by concentrating topical authority.
Can you work with an existing designer?
Yes, if they'll collaborate on information architecture. We handle sitemap, content structure, schema, and technical spec; they handle visual design. Most of the time this hybrid works great — the friction comes when the designer won't budge on a hero video that tanks LCP.
