Fig. 01 — what a click map shows: 288 people clicked something that wasn't a link. That's a fix.

You've been burned by an SEO agency before.

They promised #1 rankings. They sent PDFs nobody read. They locked you into twelve months. When results didn't come, they blamed “algorithm changes.”

Here's the truth: most SEO providers are reporters, not fixers. They hand you a list of problems and walk away.

You don't need another report. You need someone who will actually fix the site.

The honest part

We're new. So we carry the risk, not you.

No case-study wall here, because we don't have one yet. Instead of fake screenshots, you get a written guarantee:

Pay 3 months. Get the 4th free.

If there's no measurable movement in traffic or rankings after three months, month four is on us. In writing, on your invoice.

How the month actually goes

  1. Step 01

    We watch

    Heatmaps and session recordings go live in week one. We see the dead clicks, the rage clicks, the forms nobody finishes.

  2. Step 02

    We fix

    Speed, page titles, broken links, mobile layout, local listings. Five to ten real fixes deployed live on your site each month, by hand.

  3. Step 03

    We show you

    One PDF on the first of the month. What we changed, what moved, what's next. No jargon, no vanity charts.

  • Heatmaps and session recordings, installed and watched
