Why We Build AND Rank: The Only SEO Strategy That Works in 2025
Most SEO companies try to polish turds. We build you a Ferrari, then make it fly. Learn why building websites first is the secret to dominating Google.
Here's a dirty secret the SEO industry doesn't want you to know: You can't rank a broken website. It's like trying to win NASCAR with a 1995 Honda Civic. Sure, you can try, but you're gonna lose.
The Ugly Truth About Your Current Website
Let me guess. Your website was built:
- By your nephew who "knows computers" in 2012
- On Wix because it was "easy"
- By the cheapest freelancer on Fiverr
- Using a $49 theme that 10,000 other businesses use
And now you're wondering why you're not ranking? Really?
Why Traditional SEO Companies Fail You
Most SEO agencies take your money and try to optimize your broken site. It's like putting premium gas in a car with no engine. They'll:
- Change your meta tags (wow, revolutionary)
- Add some keywords (groundbreaking stuff)
- Build some sketchy backlinks (that'll definitely help)
- Send you reports showing "improvements" (still on page 10 though)
Meanwhile, you're paying $2,000/month for absolutely nothing.
The Build AND Rank Revolution
We do something radical. We BUILD you a new website first. A real website. One that:
Actually Works
- Loads in under 2 seconds (not 15)
- Works on phones (remember those?)
- Has real booking/contact systems
- Converts visitors into customers
Real Client Example: Mike's Plumbing
Mike had a website from 2008. It looked like it too. Yellow pages were more modern. SEO company charged him $3k/month for 2 years. Results? Nothing.
We built him a new WordPress site. Clean, fast, professional. Added:
- Online booking system
- Emergency contact forms
- Service area pages for every neighborhood
- Before/after galleries
- Customer reviews display
Then we optimized it. Result? #1 for "plumber Long Beach" in 45 days. Phone rings non-stop. Hired 3 more plumbers.
The Technical Stuff (That Actually Matters)
Why WordPress or Shopify?
Because they work. Period. Not Wix. Not Squarespace. Not whatever garbage GoDaddy is pushing.
- WordPress: Complete control, unlimited customization, perfect for services
- Shopify: E-commerce beast, converts like crazy, scales infinitely
What We Actually Build
Not templates. Custom sites that:
- Pass Core Web Vitals (Google's speed tests)
- Have proper schema markup (so AI understands you)
- Include conversion optimization (forms that work)
- Feature local SEO elements (for "near me" searches)
- Work with voice search ("Hey Siri...")
The ROI Math
Traditional SEO company: $2,000/month × 12 months = $24,000/year for maybe page 2
Us: $8,000 one-time for new site + $799/month for SEO = First year: $15,588
Difference: You save $8,412 AND get a website that actually works AND rank on page 1.
This isn't rocket science. It's common sense.
Who This Is For
✅ Local businesses tired of being invisible online
✅ Companies whose websites embarrass them
✅ Anyone paying for SEO with no results
✅ Businesses ready to actually compete online
Who This ISN'T For
❌ Companies in love with their broken website
❌ Businesses wanting overnight magic
❌ Anyone looking for the cheapest option
❌ Companies that think SEO is a scam
The Bottom Line
You have two choices:
- Keep your broken website. Keep paying for useless SEO. Keep losing to competitors.
- Get a real website. Get real SEO. Get real results.
Your competitors are choosing option 2. Every day you wait, you're falling further behind.
Stop Throwing Money Away
Get a website that works AND ranks. One company. One solution. Actual results.
