Organic search for a new website

Organic search does not start after launch. If the structure, speed, and text were not built for the questions people search, later months of SEO are spent repairing the build.

A cluster, not one page

Google ranks a page that matches an intent. "Recommended website builder" is commercial: someone wants to choose a vendor. "How much does a website cost" is research. The same site needs a page for each intent, and links between them.

That is the structure of this site. The brief page answers vendor choice. The guides answer the questions around it. The packages answer what is included. No page tries to be all of them.

What must exist before launch

Monthly SEO — ongoing query research, new content, and external links — is separate work. It is not automatically included in "a website", and it does not promise a position.
