How a plumbing company went from 38 to 1,403 first-page keywords in 11 months.
The problem:
A San Angelo, TX plumbing company had almost no local search visibility. 38 keywords ranked in the top 10, meaning most local searches for plumbing services never surfaced their site.
What I did:
→ Full local SEO + technical audit
→ Google Business Profile optimization and citation cleanup
→ Service page restructuring around local search intent (e.g., "emergency plumber San Angelo")
→ On-page optimization across core pages
→ Monthly rank tracking and iteration
The result (Aug 2025 → Jun 2026):
→ Top 10 keywords: 38 → 1,403 (+3,592%)
→ Top 100 keywords: 125 → 3,102 (+2,382%)
No shortcuts, no black-hat tricks just a structured local SEO process applied consistently for 11 months. This is what's possible when local SEO is treated as a real strategy, not a checkbox.

Amazing work
The Head of Marketing at Clerkenwell Health told me their Squarespace site looked like a small clinic. They were doing clinical trials for 50,000+ participants, licensed by the Home Office, but their web presence was costing them credibility before the first call.
Pharma sponsors and CROs Google them before every partnership conversation. The site was creating a bad first impression, making conversations harder than they needed to be.
What they said they needed was a 'website refresh'. What they actually needed was to stop actively losing trust the moment a prospect hit their homepage.
We moved them to Framer, preserved 60 blog articles with full SEO, and built n8n automation for inquiry routing. Zero downtime on launch.
It's not just about a site update. It's about what happens when your external image no longer matches your internal scale. What are the silent costs when that gap gets too wide?
That’s a wise approach. I’m currently exploring the combination of n8n and Framer as well, especially around AI-powered workflows and web design. It’s interesting to see how these tools are coming together.
When you tell the SEO guy to name the business. 😭
