SEO tool scores are not from Google.

Third-party tools are useful, but they rely on their own crawlers and estimates. They do not have access to Google’s internal ranking data.

So use each for what it’s good at.

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
• Real clicks and impressions
• Queries you already show for
• Indexing and crawl issues
• What’s actually happening in Google Search

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
• Keyword research and ideas
• Competitor analysis
• Backlink checking
• Content opportunities

Tools help you plan.
Search Console tells you what’s real.

Welcome to week one of our website recaps, starting with Design by AD.

Aydan wanted a portfolio that does the work justice. Not busy. Not loud. Just clean, simple, and built to let the projects speak.

This feature shows how we’ve structured the work so it’s easy to browse, fast on mobile, and consistent across projects. The goal is the same impression every time - considered, confident, and special.

More soon as we keep rolling through the sites we’ve built for clients.

Welcome to Design Grid, Conka Developments.

We’ve recently completed a round of website updates to help the site work better for real people and for Google.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝗱
• Improved usability so it’s easier to navigate and take the next step
• Refined key content to support SEO and clearer service relevance
• Freshened up parts of the design so the site feels more current and consistent

This is the kind of work that quietly lifts results over time, less friction, more clarity, better visibility.
Looking forward to continuing the work with Conka and building on this foundation.

25 years in web design.
Back in 2001 at Telstra, I started learning HTML after hours. A manager noticed, which led to a study at Swinburne and a secondment to Telstra.com.

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘆:
1. If you care enough, you’ll find a way to learn it
2. If you start with foundations, you get better forever

Those early HTML habits still help me today. Better problem solving. Cleaner builds. Less guesswork.

If you’re building a website now, build it on foundations, not shortcuts.

Tax season is the most valuable four months of the year for many accounting firms.
It’s also when the national chains turn the budget up on Google Ads.
If you try to outspend them, you lose.
Local practices win with focus.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱
• Target high-intent searches in your service areas
• Build landing pages for each core service, not a generic homepage
• Answer the questions that stop enquiries, fees, turnaround time, and what happens next
• Use reviews and proof to reduce hesitation
• Run retargeting so warm prospects come back

You don’t need the biggest budget. You need the cleanest system.

If your projects are hard to browse, they are hard to buy into.
That is the problem.

For architects and builders, people do not read every word. They scan. They want to find the right project quickly, get a sense of the quality, and know what to do next.

If your portfolio is slow, messy, or inconsistent, you lose the enquiry before the conversation starts.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗲𝘀
• Make projects easy to scan
• Use a consistent layout for every project
• Keep galleries fast on mobile
• Lead with your best work
• Put one clear next step near the projects

Good work is not enough.
It has to be easy to browse, too.

AI is not the issue. Unoriginal content is.

Google has been clear that it targets unoriginal, low-quality content and spammy tactics designed to manipulate rankings, including attempts to manipulate AI answers.

𝗦𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴:
If your post only repeats what’s already on page one, it’s a liability.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅
Use AI to speed up the first draft, then add what only your business can add:
• Real experience
• Real examples
• Real proof
• Clear advice that helps someone decide
