Challenge

A-Stat had years of equity in a WordPress install — product catalogue, location pages, and legacy URLs — but needed a modern site that loads fast, ranks locally, and survives migration without losing Google visibility. Separately, SEO retainers need transparency: clients want to see what's done, what's next, and what's coming — without access to internal tools or messy spreadsheets.

Approach

  1. 01Audited the live WordPress install, exports, redirects, and Search Console data before writing a line of code.
  2. 02Rebuilt the public site in Next.js with geo-targeted pages, FAQ schema, internal linking, and a redirect map from legacy URLs.
  3. 03Designed a phased SEO playbook (stabilise → content → GBP → citations) with dated tasks, deadlines, and urgency coding.
  4. 04Shipped SEO Hub on a dedicated subdomain — admin workspace for delivery, read-only client views, email invitations, and per-client permissions.

Public website — astat.co.uk

Public demo route — switch between task list and calendar inside the frame.
  • Colour-coded task list: do now, flexible window, overdue, locked until start date
  • Calendar view with start dates and deadlines separate from the todo list
  • Telegram-style blur on future tasks until unlock date
  • Admin account for full playbook editing; client accounts with invite links
  • Granular permissions — control exactly what each client can see
  • Resend email invitations; Turso database; hosted on Vercel

Outcome

  • Live site serving production traffic with staging parity and documented backup/restore.
  • SEO work organised in a repeatable playbook instead of ad-hoc notes.
  • Client-ready progress portal — same infrastructure reusable for every OMWC SEO retainer.
  • Demonstrates the full OMWC stack: ship the site, systematise the SEO, give clients visibility.
