Website plan · June 2026

A new website that wins more calls — without losing your rankings.

Your new homepage design is a big step up. But your current site quietly earns a lot of your Google traffic behind the scenes. This is our plan to bring your whole site into the new look while protecting every ranking — and adding AI-search visibility and YouTube on top.

Where things stand

Your new design and your current rankings — let's keep both.

The redesign wins everything a customer sees. Your current site wins almost everything Google sees. The goal is simple: launch the better-looking site without giving up the search traffic you've already earned.

The new design wins

What your customers see

  • A clear message and one obvious "Call 24/7" action
  • Fast, mobile-first — built for a stressed homeowner on a phone
  • Trust up front: IICRC, 60-minute response, since 2016
  • A simple 4-item menu instead of a crowded one

Your current site quietly wins

What Google sees today

  • ~50 pages Google has indexed and ranks
  • A page for each town you serve (huge for local search)
  • Behind-the-scenes "schema" that powers Google's local results
  • Years of content and project pages building your authority
Our approach in one line

Re-skin, don't reduce. We rebuild the whole site in the new design — keeping every page, every ranking signal, and the same web addresses — instead of replacing it with a single new page. That's how the new look becomes pure upside.

The plan

We carry the whole site across — same pages, same addresses.

Every page Google already ranks gets rebuilt in the new design and kept at the same web address. Nothing gets dropped or orphaned — so the rankings come along for the ride.

Why this matters

If a redesign replaces the old site with just one new page, Google slowly drops the pages that disappeared — and the phone gets quieter a month or two later, right when it looks like the new site should be helping. Keeping every page and address is exactly what prevents that.

And while we're in there, three upgrades

Smarter FAQ

We format your FAQ so Google can show your answers directly in search — and so AI assistants can quote them.

Star ratings in Google

We connect your real Google reviews so your star rating can show up right in the search results — something your current site doesn't do yet.

Faster, fuller pages

Quicker load times (which Google rewards) and richer content so each page ranks for more of what homeowners actually search.

Google + AI search

Show up in Google — and in AI answers.

More and more homeowners ask an AI assistant — ChatGPT, Google's AI answers, Siri — "who do I call for water damage in Cary?" The AI names two or three companies and stops. We make sure you're one of the names. It's called GEO, and almost no restoration company in the Triangle is doing it yet — so there's a real first-mover advantage here.

Found in Google

We keep all the behind-the-scenes data that powers your local rankings, and add what's missing — so Google can show your hours, services, service area, reviews and FAQ right in the results.

Found in AI answers

We make your facts easy for AI to read and trust, and make sure you show up in the places AI assistants pull from — so you get recommended, not skipped.

Your videos

Jake's videos are your unfair advantage.

Putting Jake's expertise on camera isn't just good for trust — it's one of the most powerful things you can do for both Google rankings and AI search. Here's how the same videos work twice.

In Google

How videos help your rankings

  • A video thumbnail next to your search result — bigger, more clicks
  • YouTube is the #2 search engine — a second way to be found
  • Visitors stay longer — which tells Google your page is useful
  • Each video's written transcript becomes more content Google can rank
+
In AI answers

How videos help AI find you

  • A named, certified expert is exactly who AI tools like to quote
  • Transcripts give AI clear answers to pull from
  • AI tools lean heavily on YouTube — so you're findable from both
  • Titling videos as real questions ("Will my insurance cover this?") matches what people ask AI

Featured on the site

Your videos placed on the homepage and on the matching topic pages, set up so Google understands what each one is about.

Written out + linked to FAQ

A transcript under each video, and the video shown next to the matching FAQ answer — helpful for visitors, Google and AI all at once.

A home for the channel

A simple "Resources" page that gathers your videos in one place and builds its own rankings over time.

Good to know

Producing the videos is a separate part of our work from setting them up on the site. This plan covers featuring and optimizing the videos — and we're glad to talk through a video plan whenever you're ready.

How we'll work

Our process, start to finish.

A clear, careful path from your current site to the new one — with your rankings protected at every step and a close watch on the numbers after launch.

1

Review & inventory

We map every page on your current site, note what's ranking, and gather your photos, reviews and Google Business Profile access.

2

Build the new design system

We turn the new homepage look into a full set of page styles — for town pages, service pages, project stories and more.

3

Rebuild every page

We move all ~50 pages into the new design on the same web addresses, with fresh, locally relevant content on your town pages.

4

Lock in the SEO & AI search

We carry over and upgrade all the behind-the-scenes data, connect your reviews and FAQ, and set you up to be found by AI assistants.

5

Feature your videos

We add your YouTube videos across the site with transcripts and links, wired in for maximum search and AI benefit.

6

Launch & watch the numbers

We test everything, launch carefully so no traffic is lost, and watch your Google numbers closely for the first month to confirm it all held.
