Engine-ready site
For operators whose marketing site is too weak for the Engine to publish into.
A focused marketing-site rebuild: core pages, speed and schema basics, ready for Content & Local Engine. Not a custom automation system and not a commodity offshore volume build.
Core pages
Home, services, locations, about, contact, and the trust pages the Engine will keep current.
Speed and schema basics
A clean technical baseline so pages load, resolve, and carry the local and service markup search needs.
Call and form paths
The conversion paths stay obvious and trackable so later Engine work has somewhere to send demand.
Ready for the Engine
The site is built to accept the weekly publishing cadence, not as a one-off brochure that goes stale.
What's included
- Core marketing pages scoped before kickoff
- Speed and schema basics
- Call and form paths that can be tracked
- Handoff ready for Content & Local Engine
- Fixed-scope proposal before work starts
Not included
- Custom automation or reporting pipelines (that's Custom Engine Build)
- Ongoing content production (that's the Engine)
- Commodity page-volume or offshore template mills
- Guaranteed rankings
The "not included" column builds more trust than the included one. We'd rather you know the edges up front.
Built for the Engine, not for a portfolio shot
The job is a marketing site that can take a publishing cadence: clear pages, honest claims, and a technical baseline that does not fight SEO.
If the need is a one-time automation system, that's Custom Engine Build. If the need is weekly posts, pages, GBP, and social, that's Content & Local Engine.
Fail-closed by design
The system refuses to publish work that doesn't clear the gate. Silence is a feature: nothing bad ships just to hit a schedule.
Setup
50% to start, 50% on delivery
Project
from $1,500. Typical projects land $1,500–3,500 depending on pages and scope.
What pushes it to the higher end
- More location or service pages
- Migrations off a messy CMS
- Design system work beyond the Engine-ready baseline
This is not the systems SKU.
Engine-ready site is a small rebuild. Custom Engine Build is the higher systems and automation project, from $4,000.
See Custom Engine BuildIs this a full custom website?
No. It is a focused Engine-ready marketing site: the core pages and technical baseline the weekly engine needs. It is not a custom automation build.
Do I need this before the Engine?
Only if the current site cannot take the publishing cadence. Many operators start with Engine Setup Sprint on the site they already have.
Who owns the site?
You do. The pages, the CMS access, and the technical baseline stay with you.
How do we start?
A scoping call, then a fixed-price proposal. Engine Setup Sprint remains the usual first step when the site is already usable.
