§ Services · Four pillars + live dashboard

Built on the stack Google rewards today.

Google's ranking model now weights mobile speed and Core Web Vitals as a primary signal — no longer a tiebreaker. Sites on legacy stacks (WordPress with plugin layers, old PHP CMS, page builders, rented site builders) physically cannot reach the speed thresholds the algorithm now demands; the architecture itself is the ceiling. We rebuild on Astro and Vercel: pre-rendered HTML served from the edge, sub-second on mobile, no database query at request time, no plugin layer to maintain. Same content, same search equity from your existing rankings — preserved via URL-level redirects. A modern foundation that ranks because of how it is built, not despite it. For new sites, we engineer the information architecture, URL structure, and JSON-LD schema before any visual design begins. For migrations, we preserve every URL and rebuild every page with 1:1 content fidelity — your existing rankings transfer.

§ What's included · 6 parts

What's included

01
New sites on Astro + Vercel
↓
Engineered to rank from launch. Pre-rendered HTML, edge hosting, sub-second mobile load — Core Web Vitals in the green from day one.
02
Migrations from legacy stacks
↓
WordPress, Typo3, Joomla, custom PHP, rented page builders — moved onto a modern foundation. 1:1 URL mapping, redirect plan, full content transfer.
03
Technical SEO audit
↓
Full crawl, Core Web Vitals scored per template, side-by-side comparison against your top three competitors, prioritised action plan with effort and impact estimates.
04
Nested JSON-LD schema
↓
Product, FAQ, HowTo, LocalBusiness, Organization, Article, BreadcrumbList — clean structured data that crawlers and AI systems read natively.
05
Edge hosting & DSGVO setup
↓
Vercel with EU edge regions, no US transfer without consent, no external trackers without explicit opt-in — DSGVO-compliant from the first deploy.
06
Log-file & crawl-budget analysis
↓
See exactly how Googlebot actually visits your site; redirect crawl budget away from low-value pages.

§ Process · how this pillar runs

How this pillar runs.

1

Audit & architecture

Crawl, Core Web Vitals scored, IA, URL structure and schema decided — before design begins.

2

Build on Astro + Vercel

Pre-rendered HTML from the edge, 1:1 content fidelity, redirect plan on migration.

3

Launch & handover

Core Web Vitals in the green, schema validated, live dashboard wired up.

§ FAQ · common questions

Common questions.

Will we lose our rankings in a migration?
No — that is exactly the part that goes wrong when someone else does it. We map every existing URL 1:1, rebuild every page with identical content, and set up a complete redirect plan. Search equity transfers through the redirects; we typically see rankings climb after the move because speed improves.
Why Astro and Vercel instead of WordPress?
Legacy stacks render pages at request time from a database through several plugin layers — that costs time the algorithm now penalises. Astro serves pre-rendered HTML from the edge, with no database query at request time. Hitting the Core Web Vitals thresholds becomes the default state, not an optimisation you chase.
How long does a rebuild or migration take?
A focused rebuild is typically four to eight weeks, depending on page count and content readiness. Migrations hinge on how clean the existing URL structure is — we scope that precisely in the audit before anything starts.
Is the setup DSGVO-compliant?
Yes. We host on EU edge regions, with no US transfer without consent, and load no external trackers without explicit opt-in. DSGVO compliance is built in from the first deploy, not bolted on later.
