SearchOps Studio · Search engineering

The developer work behind your SEO plan, built properly.

SEO audits are full of recommendations that need a developer: redirects, templates, speed, rendering, structured data. Agencies write them, in-house teams agree with them, and then they sit in a backlog. We are the developers who build them. We don't do SEO strategy, content or links. We work alongside whoever does.

120 branch pages built from Business Profile data, in sync

Illustration

Sound familiar?

Does this sound like your team?

If two or more of these are true, it is worth twenty minutes to see what a build would look like.

Your audit has been with the developers for six months.

You are changing platform and worried about losing rankings.

Every location deserves its own page, but the CMS makes that a manual job.

Search engines see an empty page because the site is built in JavaScript.

What we build

The parts of the build, in plain terms

01

Migrations that protect rankings

A full URL inventory, a redirect for every page with links or traffic, staging checks, and monitoring for weeks after launch.

02

Location pages at scale

A page for every branch built from your Business Profile data (hours, services, reviews, map) kept in sync, plus a store finder.

03

Page speed and Core Web Vitals

Measured on real visitors and fixed at the template level, so every page improves, not just the one you tested.

04

Rendering fixes

Server rendering or prerendering for JavaScript sites, so search engines and answer engines see the whole page.

05

Structured data across the site

Organisation, local business, product, FAQ and article markup generated from your data and validated on every page.

06

Audit implementation sprints

Hand us the audit. We estimate each fix, you choose the order, and we ship them in fixed-price sprints.

Example builds

What a project like this looks like

Examples of the kind of build we do, to make the scope concrete. They are illustrations, not client case studies.

A retailer moving 4,000 pages to Shopify

Replatform without the drop

Before

Their last migration lost a third of organic traffic, so the board is nervous.

What we build

  • URL inventory from Search Console, analytics and a full crawl
  • A redirect map for every page with links or traffic
  • Launch-day checks and six weeks of monitoring

An estate agency group with 120 branches

Branch pages from Business Profile

Before

Location pages are out of date and half the branches don't have one.

What we build

  • A page per branch, generated from Business Profile data
  • A store finder with search by town or postcode
  • Profile changes flow to the page automatically

An SEO agency with a client on a custom stack

Clearing an agency's fix backlog

Before

The client's developers have no time for SEO fixes.

What we build

  • The agency's audit turned into estimated tickets
  • Two fixed-price sprints, delivered under the agency's name
  • Before and after checks the agency can show its client

Typical projects

What it usually costs

Three common sizes, priced by the same model as the estimator. Load one into the estimator to see how each answer moves the price.

How it runs

From first call to running software

Fixed price per milestone, and you can see every task at every stage.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1 week

    We meet the people who will use it, map the tools and data, and agree a fixed price for each milestone.

  2. 02

    Build in milestones

    4 to 6 weeks, typically

    Each milestone ends in something you can use on a preview link. A shared board shows every task, and you get a short video update each week.

  3. 03

    Launch and handover

    Launch week

    We go live, train your team, hand over the documentation, and fix anything that comes up in the first 30 days.

  4. 04

    Care plan

    From £295/month

    Optional. Hosting, monitoring, updates when connected tools change, and improvement days on the higher plans.
