Los Angeles web design that gets you found by people and by AI

About Image.jpg

Search did not go away. It moved.

People still Google you. But a growing share now ask an AI assistant instead, and those assistants do not read your website the way a person does. They read structure: your business markup, your service definitions, your hours, your FAQ data, your reviews.

Most small business websites have none of it. Not because the owner did anything wrong, but because nobody built it in. The site looks fine and performs terribly where it now counts. Answer engine optimization (AI Search Results) is the work of making your business legible to those systems, and almost nobody in Los Angeles is doing it yet.

Our clients

The things we do, and they work together

01

Web design and redesign

We build and rebuild business websites on Wix Studio, with search and accessibility. New sites, redesigns, migrations off WordPress or Squarespace, and rescue jobs where the last developer disappeared.

02

Local SEO and AEO

Local SEO in Los Angeles and organic search nationally, plus the structured data that makes AI assistants able to cite you. Google Business Profile, location pages, schema architecture, technical SEO and content. The markup that ranks you is the markup that gets you quoted, so we do both as one piece of work.

03

Website accessibility remediation

We audit and remediate against WCAG 2.2 Level AA using automated testing plus manual keyboard and screen reader review, because automated tools alone cover only part of the standard. We do not install overlay widgets. We fix the actual code. Most of what we fix improves your SEO at the same time.

04

Local & National Google Ads

Search, Local Services and Performance Max campaigns built to produce calls and book jobs, not impressions. We handle keyword research, negative keyword hygiene, conversion tracking that actually fires, and landing pages built to convert the click you just paid for. Monthly reporting in plain language: what you spent, what it returned.

05

Content and Digital PR

Blog programs, press releases and the authority work that makes search engines and AI assistants treat you as a source worth citing. Written by people who publish for a living, on deadline, in your voice.
