I'm Ranking This Website in Real Time. Here's Everything.
Most agencies hide their process behind NDAs and vanity reports. I'm showing mine publicly — because if I can't rank my own site, why would you trust me with yours? Every strategy, every win, every setback. Updated every Friday.

Why the metrics look quiet right now
Google takes 30–90 days to index, test, and trust a brand-new website. Right now we are planting seeds. If an agency promises you page 1 rankings in month one, they are lying to you or using risky techniques that will get your business penalized. Patience here is not weakness — it's how SEO works.

Weekly Update Log
Every win, every setback, every lesson. No vanity metrics — just what actually happened.
Week 1 — May 2026
Site Launched. Foundation Built.
- → Full site architecture deployed — 40+ pages covering 10 industries, 10 DFW cities, 5 services
- → LocalBusiness and BreadcrumbList schema verified via Google Rich Results Test
- → Mobile layout fixed — MobileCtaBar fixed positioning was causing horizontal overflow on all pages. Diagnosed and resolved.
- → Velite + Next.js 16 Turbopack compatibility issue encountered and resolved — webpack plugin incompatible with Turbopack, switched to async IIFE pattern
Lesson: Schema implementation on a statically generated Next.js site is cleaner than WordPress — but Turbopack compatibility with build tools requires extra research upfront. Worth doing right the first time.
