How your site gets found
A build ships with the technical side done, for Google and for the answer engines. Nobody can sell you a position, but being readable is ours to get right.
On this page
Nobody can sell you a position in search results. Whether a search engine can read your site at all is a different question, and that one is ours to get right.
What ships already done#
Four things Google looks for, present from day one.
- Titles and descriptions on every page, written rather than generated from the URL.
- A sitemap, so nothing waits to be stumbled across.
- Structured data, so a result can show more than a blue link.
- Your Google Business profile connected, on a build.
What answer engines get#
The newer half of the same job.
- FAQ markup, so a question on your page can be quoted as an answer.
- An llms.txt file, the plain-text index an assistant can read.
- AI crawlers allowed rather than blocked, which is a choice and we make it deliberately.
What we will not claim#
Two sentences that keep everyone honest.
- Nobody can sell you a position. Anyone who does is selling you something else.
- We do not promise rankings or traffic. We promise the technical side is not the thing holding you back.
What is yours to do#
The half that no build can do for you.
- Say what you actually do, in the words a customer types.
- Name your service area on the pages that serve it.
- Keep your details current, especially hours and phone number.
- Collect reviews. They move local results and nothing on your own site substitutes for them.
Checking it#
The portal shows you the state of it.
- Search health in the portal reports whether your pages can be read.
- Traffic is on its own page: read your traffic in the portal.
