The problem

A site can look
finished and still
be invisible.

Your reviews would convince anyone. Your work speaks for itself — to the people who already know about it. The gap is everyone searching right now who never sees you.

The business ranking above you this morning doesn't do better work. It has a site Google can actually read: complete content on the first request, a page for every service and area, and a way to get in touch that doesn't take three days.

The most expensive problems are the ones nothing looks wrong with. A site rebuilt on the wrong architecture appears completely normal in a browser and nearly empty to a crawler — and every week that stays true, the enquiries go somewhere else.

What we do

Two services.
Done properly.

Every project starts with a diagnosis, because building without one is expensive guesswork.

A site built to be read — by people and by Google. Server-side rendered, structured, and tracked from launch day. No templates. Live and indexed in weeks, not quarters.

For businesses whose reputation outruns their website — strong word of mouth, invisible on search.

  • Next.js server-side rendered build — complete content on Google's first request
  • Title tags, schema markup, canonical structure — standard, not extras
  • A page for every service and every area you cover
  • One clear enquiry path per page — call, WhatsApp or booking
  • GA4 and Search Console connected and verified on launch day
  • Core Web Vitals passing on delivery, documented

Monthly work dictated by what the live Search Console data shows — fix what's broken first, build what's missing second, report the real numbers every month.

For businesses with a working site that want search to become a consistent source of enquiries.

  • Monthly GSC audit — impressions, clicks, positions, indexing status
  • Technical fixes as they surface — not billed as extras mid-retainer
  • Keyword tracking for the searches your customers actually make
  • New service and location pages, built into the existing structure
  • A monthly report with the same dashboard view we work from

The build and the retainer as one engagement, designed together from the diagnosis onward — including structuring for AI search, so the answers engines give cite you.

For established businesses ready to own their category in their geography, not rent visibility month to month.

  • Everything in The Foundation and The Engine, integrated from day one
  • AEO layer — structured for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
  • Conversion measurement against agreed enquiry targets, not traffic graphs
  • One point of contact from diagnosis to results

Every engagement is scoped and priced individually in a written proposal — after the visibility check, before anything is signed.

We show our work.
With real numbers.

Case 01 — SEO recovery

The rendering failure that made a site invisible

Music House looked normal in every browser. To Google's crawler it was an empty shell — a client-side React build whose content arrived after the crawler had left. We rebuilt it server-side rendered. Daily clicks went from roughly 3 to 34.

Case 02 — the rebuild

One page became a structure that converts

The same engagement, from the design side: one page became fifteen-plus in a full category silo, 33 products structured into a database, and one clear enquiry path per page. Roughly one in five visitors now makes contact.

Step 01

The call

Twenty minutes. We look at your site before we speak and arrive with three specific findings — what's technically holding it back, what that costs you in visibility, and what we'd fix first. You leave with all three, whether you work with us or not.

Questions people ask
before they book.

Every engagement is priced individually in a written proposal, because a five-page site for one location and a thirty-page build across a region are not the same project — and a menu price would mean one of you overpaying. What we can say on a page: we work with businesses where one additional client a month covers the fee. The visibility check gives you a rough frame based on your actual service values before you commit to anything.

Sometimes SEO fails because it was weak. More often, in our audits, it fails because it couldn't register — our first case study is a site where every piece of previous SEO work was invisible to Google because of how the site was built. We work from the live Search Console dashboard and share that view with you, not a filtered PDF. If your previous SEO didn't produce results, the visibility check will usually show you why before you commit to anything.

Technical fixes show in Search Console within four to six weeks. Position movement in competitive searches takes three to six months. On our documented recovery, the inflection came within weeks of Google re-indexing the rebuilt site, and clicks compounded from there. You see the data at every stage — you’re never wondering what’s happening.

Server-side rendering means Google receives complete page content on the first request, not after JavaScript executes. That single architectural choice is the hinge of our best-documented result. Where WordPress is genuinely the right tool — a non-technical team that needs to edit content themselves — we build in WordPress and say so. The technology serves the outcome, not the other way round.

Before the call, we research your niche — what your customers actually search, who ranks in your geography and why, and where your site is and isn't visible against competitors. We've shipped for a musical instrument retailer, a religious congregation and a UK property firm; the method is the constant, the research is fresh every time. You'll know within twenty minutes whether we understand your situation.

A build is a one-off project with no ongoing commitment. The retainer has a three-month minimum — the shortest window in which Search Console movement from technical fixes and early content work is measurable. We don't offer month-to-month because it isn't long enough to produce results worth measuring, and if you're not seeing movement by month three, that conversation happens directly.
