case study

Michael · SEO Transformation.

From a silent IDX template to a site that behaves like a modern magazine. We rebuilt his presence, piped data into every decision, and let the numbers roll on camera—even though he’s camera shy.

narrative

His site looked like everyone else’s. His results didn’t.

Michael’s IDX site was a ghost town—no metadata discipline, nothing indexable, nothing to prove he sells multimillion-dollar homes. When he did get traffic, it fell into squeeze pages that screamed discount lead gen.

We rebuilt everything: CMS, copy, layout, automations, the way analytics roll up. Seven weeks later, the data matched the way he works—calm, confident, modern.

What we found in the crawl

Template paralysis

Generic KVcore shell with no indexing plan or sitemap hygiene.

Abandoned SEO

Zero schema, zero internal linking, zero topical authority.

Squeeze-page vibe

Conversion points felt like discount funnels, not luxury service.
