Status quo
Your content is good but it doesn't rank. Lighthouse says you pass CWV. Search Console shows half your pages aren't indexed. Schema is missing on the templates that matter. Internal links go through nine hops to your money pages.

Status quo
Your content is good but it doesn't rank. Lighthouse says you pass CWV. Search Console shows half your pages aren't indexed. Schema is missing on the templates that matter. Internal links go through nine hops to your money pages.
After the sprint
Every page indexable that should be. Schema valid on every template. Core Web Vitals tuned beyond the Lighthouse score. Internal link graph that surfaces the money pages in two clicks. A remediation plan named and ready to ship.
Deliverables
Named artifacts that ship, not verbs. If it’s on this list, the sprint isn’t done until it’s in your hands.
5-phase fit
Every FH engagement maps to one or more phases of the 5-phase process. Lit chips are the phases this service ships against.

Proof

Roofing / Painting · South Florida
50-year roofing and painting firm lacking digital presence. Web, SEO, and PPC tuned to commercial and high-end residential — the leads they had been looking for now show up on the calendar. Site built and hosted on Webflow.

Construction · Custom Homes · Greenville, SC
Veteran-owned luxury custom-home builder. First FH build pivoted the lead mix from junk shower-repair to million-dollar custom-build inquiries; the relaunch (just shipped) deepens the SEO and content cadence on the proven foundation.

Roofing · Kansas City
Black-owned, family-run Kansas City roofers with no site of their own. FH shipped the build, the local-SEO surface, and the scored lead pipeline in one sprint. The first inbound lead landed the same day the site went live.
Probably, if your conversion rate disagrees with Lighthouse. Time-to-meaning, schema completeness, and indexation health aren’t in the CWV score — and they’re where most clients leak rank.
Either — report only, or report + remediation sprint. Most clients want both, scoped one after the other.
Free audits flag generic issues without ranking them by impact on your specific traffic. We tie every finding to the URLs and templates that drive your actual traffic, so the remediation list is prioritized by what moves your number.
