One team to build your website or AI app, and get it found.

AI tools made building software cheap. Anyone can now launch a website or an app in a weekend. What they did not make cheap is getting customers to find it. Coding is the easy part now; distribution is the hard part.

Many established businesses are sitting on decades of experience, contracts and completed projects that nobody online can see. Turning that into pages, case studies and proof a buyer can read is a large part of what we do.

We do both. We build the website, web app or AI platform, then market it with SEO and content, and connect the enquiries it produces to the follow-up and automation that turn them into customers. One team, one plan, and results you can check in your own Search Console.

What you actually get

  • A site or app built to be found, not rebuilt later
  • Keyword research that decides what pages to build
  • Content and SEO that keep earning clicks after launch
  • Enquiries captured and followed up automatically
  • Monthly results from your own Search Console
  • Your years of experience turned into case studies and proof

What building and marketing looks like.

Seven parts, from the first line of code to the follow-up on the enquiry. Every part is something we do ourselves.

01

Build it so Google can read it

Most sites lose the SEO battle before launch: slow templates, one page trying to rank for everything, no structured data. We build websites, web apps and AI platforms with the page structure, schema and speed that search engines and AI assistants need, so marketing starts from a sound base instead of a rebuild.

  • One page per service and per location
  • Schema generated from your content
  • Fast, crawlable Next.js builds
02

Keyword research that shapes the site

We find out how your buyers actually search before we decide what pages to build. For a Karachi construction firm that meant plot sizes and neighbourhoods, not "construction company". The research decides the site map, which is why it comes first.

  • Buyer searches, not vanity keywords
  • Page plan built from the research
  • Commercial intent first
03

On-page SEO and content that answers the money question

Service pages, cost guides and articles written to answer what buyers want to know before they call. Two of our 2026 builds, Naffees & Sons and PK Transporters, reached an average Google position of about 6 on on-page work and content alone, with no link building.

  • Service and location pages
  • Cost and comparison guides
  • A CMS you can publish from yourself
04

Technical SEO and audits

Redirect chains, broken internal links, pages Google will not index, duplicate content. For DSL Warehouse we audited and fixed more than 100 pages. We fix what we find rather than handing you a report.

  • Crawl, index and redirect fixes
  • Internal linking repair
  • Search Console monitoring
05

Link building and local authority

A new domain has no authority, and some markets need it. For The Hungry Pelican, a Hervey Bay cafe, we earned 17 backlinks from 12 referring domains, and its Semrush Authority Score went from unrated to 16 in about eleven weeks. We only build links where the market needs them.

  • Relevant local and industry links
  • Citations and Google Business Profile
  • No paid link schemes
06

Visibility in AI search

Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews for recommendations. Clear answers, comparison tables, FAQs and consistent facts about your business across the web are what those systems quote. We build that into the same content, not as a separate product.

  • Answer-first page structure
  • FAQ and comparison content
  • Consistent business facts
07

Turn the traffic into enquiries, then automate the follow-up

Traffic that does not become a conversation is a vanity number. We add the enquiry forms, WhatsApp and lead capture that fit your market, then the automation and AI that follow up, qualify and log every lead. That is the part a marketing agency alone cannot do.

  • Lead capture matched to the market
  • CRM and follow-up automation
  • AI agents where they earn their place

What we build this on.

We build it, then we keep it running.

What we deliver does not get handed over and forgotten. For one monthly fee we run it, fix it, adjust it, and move it onto newer AI models as they ship. No separate maintenance contract, no charge every time you want something changed.

We run what we built

Monitoring, alerting, and fixing it when something upstream changes.

Updates are free

Small changes and tweaks carry no development fee. You ask, we do it.

Model upgrades included

We move you to newer models when they ship. No migration fee.

Fixes aren’t billable

If something we built breaks, repairing it is not a new invoice.

Support on your channel

Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, email. Priority response under four hours.

New automation every sprint

Each month adds working automation, so the return compounds.

If we built it, keeping it working and keeping it current is already paid for.

Tools, proof and guides.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you build the website and do the SEO, or only one of them?

Both, and that is the point. Most businesses hire one company to build a site and another to market it, and the gap between them is where launches go invisible. We build websites, web apps and AI platforms with search built in, then run the marketing afterwards. You can also hire us for SEO on a site someone else built.

How long does SEO take to work?

Google's own guidance is that SEO usually takes four months to a year to show results. Our client data fits that. The Hungry Pelican went from 10 to 95 ranking keywords in about eleven weeks, but that was a local cafe in a small market. Competitive national terms take longer, and we will tell you which kind you are in on the first call.

Is SEO better than Google Ads for a small business?

For most small businesses that plan to be around for years, yes, because the clicks keep coming after you stop paying. Google Ads is better for testing an offer quickly or covering a launch while SEO builds. Many of our clients run a small ads budget for the first few months and cut it back as organic traffic grows.

What exactly do I get each month?

In plain English: we find the words your customers search for and plan pages around them, write and publish articles and case studies (often turning your past projects and contracts into proof), make every page clear to Google, fix anything that stops Google reading the site, earn links from relevant websites, keep your Google Business Profile up to date, answer enquiries automatically, and send you a plain monthly report from Google Search Console.

Is a Google Business Profile the same as SEO?

No. A Google Business Profile is your listing on the map, and it matters for local searches, but it is one piece. Google says local ranking also depends on how many websites link to your business and how well-known it is. SEO includes your website, its pages and content, technical health, links and reviews. A profile alone rarely ranks a business for the searches buyers make before they call.

What about Facebook and Instagram ads?

Meta ads are the right tool for some businesses, and we will say so. They suit low-priced, visual products and testing whether a product sells, with average traffic clicks around $0.60 in LocaliQ's 2026 benchmarks. For a high-ticket service that buyers research for weeks, such as construction, freight or professional services, search usually brings the customers and ads are the bridge.

How much do SEO and digital marketing services cost?

Our builds with launch SEO start at $5,000, and most fall between $5,000 and $15,000. Ongoing marketing retainers start at $900 a month. For comparison, an Ahrefs survey of 439 SEO providers found the most common monthly retainer was $501 to $1,000, and the average was about $2,917 a month.

I built my app with AI tools. Can you market it?

Yes. AI coding tools made building cheap, so far more apps now launch. Sensor Tower data reported in July 2026 showed new App Store apps nearly doubled year on year while downloads grew about 2%. Getting found is now the hard part. We review the build for search and conversion problems first, then market it.

Can I see real results, not just claims?

Yes. Our case studies show unedited Search Console and Semrush screenshots for named clients, with the date range on every one. Some show strong growth and some show a flat period, and we publish both.

LIMITED PILOT SLOTS EACH MONTH

Thirty minutes.
We'll tell you exactly
where your ROI is.

No sales deck. No 50-page report you have to pay for before anything gets built. Just a direct conversation about which of your workflows are costing the most and whether AI can fix them. If there's no compelling answer, we'll say so. And it's a conversation with Kash, our founder, not a rep reading from a script, because the person who built this business is the one who should understand yours.
