Overview
Small Engine Doctor approached us with a critical challenge: despite offering valuable repair services, their website was not appearing in Google search results. On top of this, they were working within a limited budget, which required a cost-effective yet impactful solution. Our initial analysis revealed several key issues holding them back—no SSL certificate, a site that was not mobile-friendly, and use of a less marketable .org domain.
To resolve these challenges, we migrated the business to a new .com domain, developed a mobile-first template website, and hosted it on our own servers with Let’s Encrypt SSL for security and SEO credibility. To stay within budget, we leveraged AI-generated images that conveyed a professional brand image without the expense of custom photography.
The impact was immediate: within just a few days the business began appearing on Google searches, and new customers were already calling. The result was a modern, search-friendly site that gave Small Engine Doctor the online visibility and professionalism they needed to attract and convert more local customers.
