The problem

Not a client problem but a test. We wanted a site in a competitive, grant-influenced, high-consideration sector, built with our own money, so that everything about it could be shown to prospective clients without asking anyone for permission.

What we did

  1. Built static and fast

    The same stack we sell: no page builder, no plugins, a mobile load time comfortably inside two seconds.

  2. One page per real question

    Hardware comparisons, installed costs, grant eligibility. Answer first, figure in the first paragraph, source linked where one exists.

  3. Rebuilt through the dip

    Traffic fell through the middle of the period after an algorithm update. We rewrote rather than waited, and the recovery took it well past the previous peak.

The result

Just under 5,100 ranking keywords, up 438% year on year, and 2,393 organic visits a month with nothing spent on advertising. Most significantly, 494 pages are cited by AI assistants, mostly Google AI Mode and AI Overviews. The dip and recovery visible in the chart is deliberately left in: it is the honest shape of the work.
