What's under the hood of every build, and the scores to back it up.
Made with pure, universal code
No more Wix paywalls, WordPress templates or plugin piles. Just clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Fast on phones
Lighthouse, Google's site audit, scores our pages 92 to 95 out of 100 for mobile performance. Each page weighs about 210 to 360 KB; most builder sites weigh several times that.
Search-ready from day one
- A unique page title and Google description
- One clear main heading
- Alt text on every image
- Your business type, address, services and prices in Google's structured data format
Images that stay light
Photos in WebP, a lighter image format, at several sizes so phones get smaller files. They load as visitors scroll and hold their space, so the page doesn't jump.
Accessible
100 out of 100 on Lighthouse accessibility: keyboard navigation, screen reader labels and reduced-motion support.
Secure
HTTPS on every page, enforced with HSTS, plus standard security headers. 100 out of 100 on Lighthouse best practices.
Social share cards
Share a link by text or on Facebook and it shows your photo and name.
Built to get calls
Phone, email and directions are each one tap away, plus a contact form.
Privacy-friendly visitor stats
No cookies, so no cookie banner. You still see your visits and how many people tapped to call or get directions.
Scores and page weights from Lighthouse runs on our recent builds.

Found
The moment a person searching "brake repair Lawrenceville" or asking ChatGPT "best pediatrician in Duluth GA" sees the business at all, in Google results, the map, an AI answer, Apple Maps or Siri.
Be readable by every search engine and AI tool, with accurate facts.
Technical SEO
Crawling, indexing, speed and security.
Every page and file served over HTTPS, with no mixed content
Part of Google's page experience check; mixed content breaks trust and assets.
One canonical address (https, with or without www), every variant 301 redirected to it in one hop, including
/index.htmlto/Puts every signal on one URL; redirect chains waste crawling and slow loads.
One trailing-slash pattern, the other redirected and links kept consistent, watching for a host's automatic "pretty URL" redirects
Google treats
/pageand/page/as different URLs.A self-referencing, absolute
rel=canonicalon every pageA strong hint that prevents duplicate confusion.
When replacing an old site, every old URL mapped to its best new URL with a permanent server-side redirect
Keeps the old site's earned links and rankings; Google prefers server-side redirects.
Lowercase, hyphenated, readable URLs, with no
#fragments for distinct contentGoogle generally ignores fragments, and case variants create duplicates.
A
robots.txtthat allows crawling, including the search and answer bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, Applebot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot and Claude-User), and lists the sitemap, never used to hide pages from the indexrobots.txt doesn't reliably prevent indexing, and a site that blocks OpenAI's search bot won't appear in ChatGPT search answers; Anthropic, Perplexity and Apple say the same of theirs.
noindex(a meta tag, or a header for PDFs) on pages that shouldn't appear in search, such as form thank-you pages, without also blocking them in robots.txtGoogle has to crawl a page to see its
noindex.An XML sitemap of canonical, absolute URLs only, with a true
lastmodfor real content changes and nopriorityorchangefreqGoogle uses
lastmodonly when it's consistently accurate; Google and Bing both ignorepriorityandchangefreq.A custom 404 page that returns a real 404 (or 410 for pages removed for good), with no soft 404s
An error page that returns 200 wastes crawling and confuses indexing.
The hero image in the HTML as an
<img>withsrcsetandsizes,fetchpriority="high"and never lazy-loaded, in AVIF or WebP; only images below the fold lazy-loadThe browser finds and fetches the most important image first.
Small critical CSS inlined and the rest deferred, with no blocking scripts in the
<head>Render-blocking files delay the first paint.
Width and height (or an aspect ratio) on images, iframes and map embeds, with space reserved for banners
Keeps the layout from shifting while the page loads.
Fonts subset, the main font preloaded,
font-display: swaporoptionaland metric-matched fallbacksKeeps text visible and steady while fonts load.
Third-party scripts kept to a minimum, with a facade (a still image that loads the widget on tap) for maps, review widgets and chat
Third-party scripts are the main speed risk on a static site.
Hosting on a CDN with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, Brotli or gzip and caching headers: long and immutable for fingerprinted files, short for HTML
Cuts server response time and repeat-visit load time.
Mobile parity: the same content, headings, structured data and alt text on phones, no main content hidden behind a tap and no intrusive pop-ups
Google indexes the phone version, and pop-ups make content less accessible.
Security headers: HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy and frame-ancestors
No ranking value, but hacked content is a Google spam category; this is hygiene and trust.
A Lighthouse run (Performance, Accessibility, SEO) on every template before launch
Small sites often lack real-visitor speed data, so lab testing is the practical gate.
Launch check: the site verified in Google Search Console as a Domain property by DNS, the sitemap submitted and key pages sent for indexing
Google's own setup path, and the baseline for every search report; a Domain property covers every protocol and subdomain.
Bing Webmaster Tools verified, imported from Search Console
Bing's index grounds Microsoft Copilot, and Bing reports Copilot citations.
An IndexNow key at the root, with a deploy hook that sends changed URLs
Fast discovery on Bing and other engines that take part; Google doesn't use IndexNow.
hreflang(en-USandes-US, pointing at each other) only if Spanish pages are builtNot needed for a single-language site; required to pair language versions.
A monthly review of Search Console's indexing, HTTPS and Core Web Vitals reports, with new errors fixed
Catches broken pages, dropped pages and slowdowns after edits.
On-page SEO
Each page states one service, one place and one reason to trust.
A unique, descriptive title on every page, like "Service in City, GA | Brand", with no repeats or near-identical boilerplate
Google rewrites vague, stuffed or near-identical titles, and the service and city in the title is a top local ranking factor.
Also helps: Clicked
One prominent
<h1>that matches the page topic, with a logical H2 and H3 structureGoogle uses the main visible heading for its title links; the structure helps readers and screen readers.
Descriptive alt text in context, empty alt on decorative images, descriptive file names and meaningful images as real
<img>tags, not CSS backgroundsGoogle uses alt text and file names to understand images, and they overlap with accessibility rules.
Menus and in-text links as real
<a href>links with descriptive words ("brake repair in Lawrenceville", not "click here")Google reliably follows only real links, and the words describe the page they point to.
A real About page: the owner's name, photos, years in business, license numbers, insurance and associations
Google weighs who is behind a site and calls fabricated profiles deception; trust matters most.
No keyword stuffing (footer lists of cities or ZIP codes included) and no hidden text
Both are named spam behaviors.
Any AI-assisted copy, alt text or markup fact-checked and edited by a person, with no bulk page generation
Google calls human review critical, and mass AI pages risk being treated as spam.
Restaurants: the menu as HTML text on its own page, with prices, not only a PDF or photo
Google says to keep important content in text, and business markup can point to a menu page.
One page per core service (brake repair, roof replacement, well-child visits, de-shedding), each with its own title, heading, process, pricing factors, photos, FAQs and call to action
Rated the top local organic factor; each service gets its own page that search can show.
Keyword and intent mapping: one main intent per page, drawn from Search Console queries, autocomplete, People Also Ask, Business Profile search terms and Keyword Planner set to the Atlanta area
Keeps two pages from competing for the same search and finds the words customers actually use.
City or service-area pages only when each has real local substance (local jobs, photos, permit or HOA notes, testimonials from that town, directions); otherwise one "Service areas" page
Template city pages are the textbook doorway pattern in Google's spam policies.
A visible FAQ section in customers' own words (price ranges, insurance accepted, parking, service area, wait times)
Business Profile Q&A is gone and Google's Ask Maps answers draw on the website; plain text also feeds AI Overviews.
Pediatric practices: clinician bios with board certification, credentials and review or author lines where readers expect them
Google gives health topics extra weight, and a clear "who" builds trust.
Project or case-study pages with real photos (roof jobs, restorations, grooming before and after)
Adds unique, first-hand depth; businesses that show up in AI answers tend to have far more pages.
Pages updated when facts change (services, prices, staff, hours) and
lastmodupdated only then, never bumped for fake freshnessGoogle flags date changes without real edits, and stale sites show up less in AI answers.
New service, seasonal or project pages added over time, based on Search Console queries
Grows depth from real demand rather than guesses.
Local SEO
The site is the source of truth that every other listing should copy.
Name, address and phone in the HTML (footer and contact page), matching the Google Business Profile character for character
The site is the record others check, and matching details are a scored local factor.
Phone numbers as
tel:links, with the real number in the HTMLTap to call on phones, and crawlers see the real number.
LocalBusiness structured data in the most specific type (auto repair, restaurant, physician, roofing contractor) with the address, map coordinates, phone, hours, price range, images, logo and profile links, one per location
Business data Google documents; it has to match what's on the page.
sameAslinks to the Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp and BBB pagesTies the business together for Google's site name and logo systems and other readers.
Hours on the site that match the Business Profile, including holiday and seasonal hours
Being open at the time of search is a top map factor, and AI answers often carry wrong hours.
The page the Business Profile links to (the homepage, or a location page when there are several) carries the main service and city in its title, heading and opening copy
Local relevance and the keywords in that page's title are both top local organic factors.
Launch check: the Business Profile's website field points to the right new page, one the business controls (not a social page or a redirect)
Google requires the link to represent the location; an old or broken link wastes the strongest local referral.
Tracking tags on the Business Profile's website link, added during that launch check
Separates profile visits from regular search visits in analytics.
Booking, reservation, order and menu pages on stable URLs the owner can later add to the Business Profile
Profiles can link a menu and booking or order pages, and profile chat has ended.
Directions as a link to the Google Maps place (and Apple Maps), or a map that loads on tap, rather than an embed that loads with the page
Embedded maps show no ranking effect but cost speed, and directions taps can be counted.
Service-area businesses: a clear "Areas we serve" section naming real towns in text, without implying a storefront that doesn't exist
Local relevance without false business details, which Google treats as spam.
Practices: one page per practitioner that matches their Business Profile name
Google allows public-facing practitioner profiles, and matching pages strengthen each one.
Name, address, hours and the profile link re-checked after any move, phone change or rebrand
Address edits can bring reverification and a moved pin; the site has to change in step.
Google Business Profile management: categories, services, attributes, photos, posts, hours, verification and suspensions
The primary category is the top map-pack factor.
Listings: Apple Business, Bing Places, Yelp, Facebook, BBB, Data Axle, Foursquare and industry directories
Listings are a large share of what AI answers cite, and Apple Maps review use is rising.
Local links and mentions: chamber memberships, sponsorships, manufacturer dealer locators and local press
Link quality is a top local organic factor, and Google counts links toward prominence.
AI search (GEO)
The website is the most-cited local source, so access and accuracy come first.
Every important page indexable and eligible for snippets, with no
nosnippetor tight snippet limits on pages meant to be citedGoogle's only stated requirement for AI Overviews and AI Mode; snippet controls also govern AI features.
AI training bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) allowed or blocked by the owner's choice, recorded at handoff
Blocking them has no documented search cost, though Google-Extended also covers Gemini app answers, a local discovery surface.
CDN and host bot settings audited, not just
robots.txtFirewall bot modes and CDN defaults can silently block AI search bots.
Every key fact in plain HTML text: services, price ranges, hours, service-area towns, credentials, insurance accepted and parking
Google says to keep important content in text, and AI answers often get hours and services wrong.
Stale, leftover and hidden copy removed at launch (old prices, old hours, retired services, placeholder text)
Leftover copy shapes how AI describes the business, and many businesses are described wrong.
Structured data that matches the visible text and the Business Profile exactly, treated as consistency hygiene rather than an AI trick
Google requires consistency, and schema has shown no link to AI visibility.
Depth: dedicated service and location pages with specifics
Business websites are the most-cited source in local AI answers, and visible businesses have more pages.
Answer-first sections: each service page opens with a direct one- or two-sentence answer (what, where, typical price, how soon), then the detail
Cheap and plausible for AI passage extraction, though unproven for local sites.
A quarterly AI answer audit: a fixed set of prompts ("best [service] in [town]", "is [business] open Sunday") run several times on ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Mode, Perplexity, Copilot and Siri, fixing the website first and reporting listing errors to the owner
Answers change from run to run, and errors get fixed at the source, since there's no way to edit the AI.
After corrections, a recrawl requested (Search Console, IndexNow) and the answers rechecked over several weeks
Google can take days to months to recrawl after changes.
Google's Search Console setting for AI features, now in testing, watched and kept on "include"
A wrong setting could remove the site from AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Brand mentions, "best of" lists, review volume and consistent listings across Yelp, Facebook, Apple, Bing, Foursquare and industry sites
Brand mentions track with AI Overview visibility, and reviews are the strongest local AI signal.
Clicked
The choice to tap this business's listing over the others, based on the title, the short description, the logo and the site name.
A clear, honest title and description that promise what the page delivers.
Search experience (SXO)
The search listing is the first sales pitch, and Google rewrites most of it.
WebSitestructured data on the home page only (name, URL, alternate name), consistent across host variants and validatedControls the site name Google shows.
A favicon declared on the home page: square, crawlable and larger than 48x48 px
One favicon appears next to every result from the site.
Organizationlogo markupFeeds the logo Google may show for the business.
A unique meta description on each page with a concrete reason to choose the business and the phone number ("Same-day brake service, free estimates, open Saturday")
Not a ranking factor, but Google shows it as the snippet when it describes the page well.
Only rich result types that still exist and truly apply: Breadcrumb, Event (real public events), Product (specific products for sale) and the menu link for restaurants
Google's current list of search features has no FAQ or HowTo.
Real photos and video near the text they belong to
Google recommends supporting text with good images and video; it helps image results and AI features.
A monthly Search Console check of clicks by page and search, rewriting titles or descriptions where views are high and clicks are low
The only first-party measure of how appealing the listing is.
Eventmarkup and pages when the business holds real events (open houses, clinics, tastings)Still a supported feature for genuine events.
Stayed
The first few seconds on the site, when the visitor decides whether this is the right place: is it open, is it near, does it do the thing, does it look trustworthy.
Phone, hours, location, services, prices and proof, visible at once on a phone.
User experience (UX)
Visitors come for a handful of facts and leave when they can't find them.
Above the fold on a phone: what the business does and where in plain words, the main call to action, tap to call, hours or open status, the address with a directions link and one trust cue
These are the facts local visitors come for.
Scannable copy: front-loaded headings, short paragraphs and plain words
People scan pages rather than read them.
Real photos of the staff, premises and work. Avoid stock images.
Real photos carry information and stock gets ignored; Google's profile photo rules favor real images too.
Trust signals for the trade: license, insurance, warranties and manufacturer certifications (roofers); ASE certification (auto); board certification and insurance accepted (pediatrics); handling and safety policies (groomers); a current menu with prices (restaurants)
Trust is the first question visitors ask and the heart of Google's quality guidance.
No intrusive pop-ups or full-screen interstitials on phones, with legal banners sized reasonably
Named in Google's page experience check.
A sticky action bar on phones (Call, Directions, Book) that never covers focused elements or content and meets target size
Fits local intent; accessibility rules forbid hiding the focused element.
A fast-feeling load, tested on a mid-range phone over a throttled connection
Faster pages are tied to more visitors reaching the contact form.
No auto-advancing carousels; one clear hero message
Carousels hide content and create accessibility problems.
Prices or honest price ranges, with the factors that change them (roof size, vehicle type, coat condition)
Hidden prices frustrate visitors, though it's debated for highly variable jobs.
Testimonials and recent reviews shown as plain content near decision points
Social proof without self-serving markup.
Acted
The call, the booking, the quote request, the order or the directions tap: the point where a visit becomes revenue.
One tap to act, short forms, nothing broken.
Conversion (CRO)
Make the call, booking, order or directions one tap away.
One main call to action for the trade: Call (roofers, auto shops), Book (groomers, pediatrics), Order or Reserve (restaurants)
One clear next step beats competing options.
The main call to action repeated after the hero, after the services list and in the footer
Visitors decide at different points down the page.
Quote and contact forms of 3 to 5 fields (name, phone or email, service, ZIP or address, an optional message or photo)
Most forms ask for more than they need.
Well-built forms: one column; visible labels above the fields, not placeholder text; optional fields marked; the right input types and autofill; inline validation
Faster entry and autofill on phones, and an accessibility requirement.
Spam protection by hidden honeypot fields or invisible checks, not puzzle CAPTCHAs
Accessibility rules bar puzzle tests without an alternative.
Links straight to the client's existing booking, reservation or ordering system (OpenTable, Resy, Toast, a practice scheduler) instead of heavy embeds, with the vendor's pages checked for accessibility
Faster and more accessible, and the business can still be named in an accessibility suit over a vendor's page.
A confirmation page after each form, set to
noindexTells the visitor it worked and gives analytics a reliable completion signal.
A "How did you hear about us?" field with options including Google, Google Maps, an AI assistant or ChatGPT, a referral and repeat customer
Captures AI and word-of-mouth traffic that analytics can't see.
No AI chat widget by default; if a client insists, a HIPAA business associate agreement for medical clients and an accessibility check
Script weight, accessibility and health-data risk, with gains for small sites claimed only by vendors.
A monthly review of calls, leads and bookings against traffic, adjusting the call to action's wording, order or placement
Small continuous fixes add up.
Came back
The second visit and the second purchase: rebooking the groomer, the next oil change, the next well-child visit.
An easy path back: portal, rebook, order, reminders they agreed to.
Retention
Return visits live in owned lists and the booking system; the site is the fast door back.
A header link for returning customers: "Book again", "Patient portal", "Order online" or "Reserve"
Returning customers shouldn't have to hunt.
A link to the client's existing point-of-sale or ordering loyalty program (Toast, Square) rather than a custom one
The site shouldn't duplicate systems the client already pays for.
Pediatric clients: no marketing or analytics pixels on patient portal links, intake or booking pages
Signed-in pages and booking pages that ask the reason for a visit still involve protected health information.
An email sign-up with a specific value (storm-season roof checks, tire swap reminders, grooming schedules, well-child reminders, restaurant specials)
A concrete reason earns sign-ups, and the list is a channel the owner owns.
A separate, unchecked text-message consent box with the disclosures (message frequency, "Msg & data rates may apply", STOP and HELP) and stored consent records
Federal texting consent and opt-out rules, with broader opt-out rules from January 31, 2027.
Seasonal content and homepage updates tied to reasons to return (spring storm checks, back-to-school physicals, holiday hours)
Gives returning visitors and reminder emails something current to land on, and freshness helps AI visibility.
The share of returning visitors and the booking system's rebooking rate in the monthly report
Shows whether the links back are working.
Rebooking prompts, reminders and loyalty set up inside the client's booking or point-of-sale system
That's where retention actually happens, outside the website build.
Recommended
The customer telling others, through a Google review, a referral or a word to a neighbor, which feeds new customers back into Found.
A fair, legal way to ask everyone for a review.
Reputation
Reviews are regulated speech, not just marketing.
No review or rating markup about the business itself in its structured data, including through embedded Google or Facebook widgets
Self-serving reviews can't earn stars, and misleading markup risks a manual penalty.
No fabricated, AI-written or staff-written testimonials, with any insider or incentive relationship disclosed
Banned by the FTC's review rule, with penalties for each violation.
Reviews shown as plain content; when pulled from Google, with Google Maps attribution, the author, a source link and a note on how they're ordered; nothing cached beyond the place ID
Google's rules for its review data, and the FTC warns that hiding negative reviews can be deceptive.
Pediatric and medical testimonials only with the patient's signed HIPAA authorization, and no protected health information anywhere on the site
Patients may share their own information; providers may not, and regulators penalize disclosure.
A "Leave us a review" page or short link that sends every customer straight to the Google review form with neutral wording ("How did we do?"); a private feedback form can sit beside it, never instead of it
Google bans review gating, and the FTC says it may break the law.
A referral page that rewards referrals, not reviews, with the terms disclosed
Google bans any incentive for reviews; referrals are a separate, lawful channel.
Steady, ungated review requests to every customer (QR card, invoice, same-day text or email with consent), with no incentives, quotas, staff-name prompts or shared tablets
Recent, steady reviews are top map factors, within strict policy limits.
Personal replies to every review within about a day to a week, with HIPAA-safe templates for medical practices (never confirming someone is a patient, moving to offline contact)
Most customers expect replies and many dislike generic ones; health-privacy rules are enforced.
Never threatening reviewers or using legal intimidation, and flagging only real policy violations
The FTC's review rule bans suppressing reviews.
Watching Google's review-spike alerts and reviews on Yelp, Apple Maps, Facebook and industry sites
Customers read reviews on several sites, and Apple Maps use is rising.
Every step
Two disciplines run behind every step: counting what the site earns and keeping it usable for everyone and within the law.
Proof of what works, and no legal exposure.
Measurement
Turns the journey into numbers an owner can read.
Analytics with key events: call taps, form leads, booking clicks or completions, directions taps and menu views or order clicks
Counts outcomes, not just visits.
Privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics as the default for medical clients and owners who want no cookie banner
Fewer consent obligations and less tracking-pixel risk; booking pages still need a HIPAA review.
A custom "AI Search" channel in Google Analytics that groups visits from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Copilot
Captures the AI referrals that can be seen; ChatGPT tags its own links.
A monthly one-page owner report of calls, form leads, bookings, direction requests, new reviews, the rating, Search Console clicks, top searches and the share of returning visitors, with no vanity metrics
Owners act on outcomes, not sessions.
Search Console's AI reports (where available) and Bing's AI Performance report (Copilot citations, grounding queries) read monthly
The only first-party data on AI visibility.
With the owner's access, Business Profile performance (calls, website clicks, direction requests, bookings, search terms) pulled into the report
Most local calls start from the profile, not the site.
Optional call tracking that swaps the number on the website only, with the real number kept in the HTML and structured data
Attributes calls without breaking name, address and phone consistency, though Google doesn't document the practice.
A field and lab Core Web Vitals check after any content or embed change
Catches slowdowns from new widgets or images.
Privacy, compliance and accessibility
Getting these wrong carries real penalties.
Built toward WCAG 2.2 AA: page language, landmarks, logical headings, alt text, descriptive link text, visible focus, 4.5:1 text contrast, labeled form fields and a skip link
2.2 AA covers the 2.1 AA standard courts reference, and much of it overlaps with SEO.
The WCAG 2.2 additions: tap targets at least 24 by 24 px, focus never hidden by sticky bars, help and contact in a consistent place, no re-entering the same information and no puzzle CAPTCHAs
The new criteria most often missed on local sites viewed on phones.
Captions on videos, with transcripts on the page
An accessibility requirement, and transcripts double as text search engines can read.
An accessibility statement with a working contact route
Gives people a way to report barriers before a demand letter.
No accessibility overlay widgets
They add script weight, are widely criticized and aren't a legal defense.
Visually hidden text only for real assistive uses (skip links, screen reader labels), never for keywords
Hidden-text spam breaks Google's policy; real accessibility patterns are a different thing.
A plain-language privacy policy on every site that collects any personal data (forms, analytics, email, texts)
State notice rules, including for California visitors, and basic trust.
A cookie banner only when the site uses ad pixels or cross-site sharing, with Global Privacy Control honored where state law applies
US law generally doesn't require a banner for basic analytics, and several states require honoring Global Privacy Control.
Medical clients: no Meta, TikTok or Google Ads tags on booking, intake, portal or reason-for-visit pages; a business associate agreement from any vendor that touches health data
Federal health-privacy rules on tracking still cover those pages.
Forms that collect only what the business needs and submit over HTTPS
Less data held means less exposure under privacy and health rules.
Text-message consent language, as under Retention
Opt-out rules apply now, with broader ones from January 31, 2027.
A yearly accessibility and privacy re-check after new content and vendor changes
New embeds and pages bring issues back.
