Process
How we build pages that are easier to rank and easier to trust
The SEO work starts before the first line of code. We shape structure, copy and linking around the intent of the page.
| Step | Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Strategy | Business goals, target users and intent-driven page mapping | A structure that fits how people actually search and compare |
| 2. UX and content | Page sections, trust signals, copy hierarchy and CTA planning | Clearer journeys from visit to enquiry |
| 3. Build | Responsive development, speed, QA and implementation quality | A stronger technical foundation for growth |
| 4. Launch SEO | Metadata, schema, image optimization, internal links and sitemap coverage | A more search-friendly launch state |
| 5. Improve | Analytics, feedback and post-launch refinements | A website that keeps getting better after go-live |
