SEO & Local Search
Technical SEO you never think about, because it was built right
Most technical SEO is remediation — plugins patching slow themes, audits finding crawl errors, agencies billing monthly to fight the platform. We remove the category: sites built correctly don't need their fundamentals fixed.
Because we hand-code on a modern stack, the technical checklist is satisfied by construction. Pages pre-render, so speed scores are green from day one. Markup is semantic, so crawlers understand the content hierarchy. Sitemaps generate automatically, canonical URLs are correct, mobile is the default rather than an adaptation, and there's no plugin stack to conflict, bloat, or breach.
This isn't a small edge. A large share of SEO retainers at typical agencies goes to fighting the platform — compressing what WordPress inflated, patching what plugins broke, re-fixing what the last update undid. When the foundation is right, that spend disappears, and every SEO dollar goes to the work that actually grows rankings: content, local signals, authority.
For existing sites we audit first: crawlability, speed, markup, indexing, penalties. Some are worth fixing in place; some are cheaper to rebuild than to rehabilitate. You get the honest math either way — including when the answer is 'don't pay us to fix this, replace it.'
What this looks like in practice
- Pre-rendered pages with green Core Web Vitals by construction
- Semantic markup, automatic sitemaps, and correct canonicals
- No plugin stack to slow, break, or compromise the site
- Full technical audits for existing sites — with honest fix-or-rebuild math
- Structured data included, not sold as an add-on
The bottom line
Technical SEO should be a property of the build, not a monthly bill. We make it one — and redirect the savings into growth.

Local search is its own game
For a local business, the map pack — those three businesses above the regular results — is where the highest-intent customers decide. Local rankings run on signals many businesses and plenty of agencies neglect, which is exactly why they're often the fastest win available.
