SEO-first web design
A new website built to be found on Google.
Many businesses pay for a new website, then discover it does not rank, loads slowly or lost the traffic the old site had. We plan the pages around what your customers search for, design and build the site, then launch it with redirects, schema, analytics and a Google Business Profile check so search visibility starts on day one rather than months later.
Who it's for: Small and growing businesses in the US, UK and Canada that need a new or rebuilt website and want it to bring in enquiries, not just look good.
Clear scope · No ranking guarantees · Remote US, Canada & UK support

Sound familiar?
- The last redesign looked better but enquiries dropped.
- The web designer and the SEO agency blamed each other.
- The site has one services page that tries to rank for everything.
How we help you
Keyword and page plan first
We map the searches your buyers use to a page structure: one page per core service and genuine service area, plus the questions that move people to call. Design starts from that plan.
Design and build
A mobile-first site with clear calls to action, fast loading, accessible markup and copy written for your customers. You own the domain, content and site.
Launch without losing traffic
For redesigns we crawl the old site, map every valuable URL to a 301 redirect, carry over titles and content that already rank and monitor Search Console after launch.
Ongoing SEO if you want it
After launch you can continue with a monthly SEO plan covering content, local visibility and reporting, or take the site in-house. No lock-in to the build.

Practical planning example
A service business replacing a one-page site
Illustrative plan, not client results: a cleaning company moves from a single homepage to separate pages for residential, end-of-tenancy and office cleaning, each with pricing guidance and a quote form.
- One page per real service
- Quote form on every page
- Schema and Google Business Profile aligned
- Calls and forms tracked by page

What could extra search visitors be worth?
Use your own numbers. This is simple maths to help you decide, not a forecast or promise of results.
- Enquiries a month
- 15
- New clients a month
- 4.5
- Revenue a month
- $6,750
- Return on fee
- 4.5x
You would cover the fee with 1 new client a month.
Check my numbers with youOur working standards
SEO is built in, not bolted on
Page structure, headings, schema, internal links, speed and redirects are planned before design starts. We do not hand over a pretty site and leave search for later.
Truthful content only
We publish only services, credentials, reviews and results you can verify. No invented testimonials, stock team photos presented as staff, fake offices or purchased links. Media Strategy Lab works remotely.
Custom quote, no guarantees
Build cost and any ongoing SEO fee are quoted after we review your goals, pages and current site. Rankings and enquiries are never guaranteed.
Questions
How much does website design with SEO cost?
It depends on the number of pages, content you supply and features such as booking or e-commerce. We give a fixed custom quote after a short call. New brands can ask about our introductory offer.
Will a redesign hurt my current rankings?
It can if redirects and content are handled carelessly. We map and test redirects before launch and monitor afterwards to reduce that risk.
Which platform do you build on?
We recommend a platform that suits your team, such as WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or a custom build, and explain the trade-offs in maintenance and speed.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. We build the site so it is easy to crawl and clearly relevant, then report honestly on progress.
