SEO from the first wireframe
What an SEO-first website includes
Most redesigns add SEO at the end, after the structure is locked. We plan pages, URLs and content around what San Diego customers search for before design starts, then build to Google’s technical standards.
Site architecture and keyword mapping
Each service and location gets a page built for the searches it should win, with internal links that help both visitors and crawlers.
Core Web Vitals and speed
Templates target Google’s “good” thresholds: Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint under 200 milliseconds and Cumulative Layout Shift under 0.1, using lean code, optimized images, deferred scripts, caching and a CDN.
Mobile-first design
Google indexes the mobile version of your site, so we design and test mobile layouts first.
Structured data
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and Product schema where they apply, so search engines and AI assistants read your business facts correctly.
Accessible, secure builds
Semantic HTML, image alt text, readable contrast, HTTPS and clean URL structures on every page.
Migrations without lost rankings
We crawl the old site, map every URL to its new home with 301 redirects and monitor Search Console after launch.
