Search has changed. AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews now answer questions directly, citing the businesses whose sites are structured correctly. Your next website needs to earn trust from both your visitors and the algorithms recommending you. We build sites that do exactly that.

What You Get

Every site we build is engineered for both the humans visiting it and the AI engines evaluating it. Pair your new site with our SEO & AEO strategy to maximize your citation surface from day one.

AEO Content Structure

Every page is written in BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) format, the direct, factual style AI engines prefer when selecting citations. Your answers appear at the top; context and depth follow.

Schema Markup Implementation

Structured data tells AI engines exactly what your business does, where you operate, and what questions you answer. You get full JSON-LD markup for your business type, services, FAQs, and local presence. That coverage increases your citation surface across every AI platform.

Core Web Vitals Optimization

Google scores your site on real user experience: load speed, visual stability, and interactivity. You get a site engineered to hit 99+ Lighthouse scores and sub-2-second LCP across all devices.

Mobile-First Responsive Build

Over 60% of searches happen on mobile. Your site renders perfectly at every screen size, with touch-optimized navigation and readable type that never requires pinching or zooming.

Conversion-Optimized Layout

Traffic that does not convert is wasted. Your site is built with a clear visual hierarchy, trust signals in the right places, and calls to action engineered to move visitors from interest to inquiry.

Page Speed Engineering

Slow sites lose visitors before the page even loads, and lose rankings with them. You get optimized images, minimal JavaScript, edge caching, and a technical foundation built for speed from the ground up.

How It Works

Four focused stages from understanding your business to a validated, AI-ready launch. Every project is scoped to your specific goals. We will map the right investment during your free strategy session.

  1. 1

    Discovery: Understanding Your Business and Audience

    You walk us through your business, your customers, and what you want your site to accomplish. You leave with a clear scope document. No surprises later.

  2. 2

    Content Architecture: Structuring for Humans and AI

    Your content is organized for both audiences at once. Pages are mapped, FAQs are drafted, and schema markup is planned, so your site answers the questions your customers are actually asking, in the format AI engines can cite.

  3. 3

    Build: Fast, Structured, and Tested

    Your site is built with performance and structure as first-class requirements, not afterthoughts. Every page is tested against Core Web Vitals benchmarks before launch.

  4. 4

    Launch: With Full Technical Validation

    Before going live, your site passes Lighthouse audit, structured data validation, and mobile usability testing. You launch confident that both Google and AI engines will index and understand your site correctly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and why does it matter for my website?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website so AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity) can understand, trust, and cite your business when users ask relevant questions. Traditional SEO gets you ranked in the blue links. AEO gets you cited in the AI-generated answers that now appear above those links. As more searches resolve without a click-through, being the cited source matters more than ranking tenth in the list.
Why does site speed affect my Google rankings?
Google uses Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and Interaction to Next Paint) as direct ranking signals. A slow site or one with unstable layout gets downranked against faster competitors, even with better content. Beyond rankings, a 1-second delay in page load reduces conversions by an estimated 7%. Speed is both an SEO signal and a revenue signal.
What is schema markup and why should my website have it?
Schema markup is structured data added to your site's code that tells search and AI engines exactly what your business does: your services, location, hours, reviews, and the questions you answer. Without it, engines have to infer this from your text. With it, you explicitly define your citation surface. Businesses with complete schema markup consistently outperform competitors in AI Overview citations and rich snippet appearances.
Do I need to completely rebuild my existing website, or can you update it?
That depends on the technical foundation. Some sites can be improved with structural content changes and schema additions. Others have performance or architecture problems baked so deep that a rebuild is the faster and more cost-effective path. We'll assess your current site honestly during discovery and recommend a rebuild only if the case is clear. If an update achieves the same outcome, that is the recommendation.
How long does a website redesign take?
A typical project runs four to eight weeks from discovery to launch, depending on scope, content readiness, and how quickly we can get feedback on designs. The biggest variable is content. Existing copy that needs restructuring moves faster than writing from scratch. We set a clear timeline during discovery and hold to it.
