When clients send emails like this, you know the work landed.

A client sent this after we redesigned their site, refreshed the copy, and tightened the conversion flow.

With more buyers turning to AI for answers, the clarity of your site and the strength of your positioning decide whether you get surfaced as the right fit. Tight copy, clear structure, and a focused message make all the difference in who reaches out.

Tired of every Shopify store looking exactly the same?

Ali and his team at Downtown Florist were stuck on their supplier’s old eFlorist platform from Teleflora. It was clunky, restrictive, and didn’t match the beauty of their work.

We rebuilt their store on Shopify with a clean new layout, migrated their products, and handled the switch so they didn’t lose a single order. Now their site feels as polished as the bouquets they craft.

We have room for one more build kicking off January 2026 (Shopify, WordPress / Elementor or Webflow). If you’ve got an outdated site that needs a fresh start so it can actually sell for you around the clock, send me a message.

3 GSC SEO tips:

In Google Search Console → Add Filter → Query → Custom (regex):

🔴 Questions (informational intent):
^(who|what|when|where|why|how|which|can|does|is|are|should)\b.*

Example for a medtech dev firm: "how to build a HIPAA compliant patient portal"

🔴 Transactional intent:
\b(buy|price|pricing|cost|quote|rate|plan|subscribe|book|appointment)\b

Example: "custom EHR software development cost estimate"

🔴 Comparisons:
\b(best|top|review|compare|comparison|alternatives?)\b

Example: "best healthcare app development companies for startups"

These regex filters are a quick way to see top-of-funnel (TOFU) vs bottom-of-funnel (BOFU) queries.

To limit them to long tail keywords, add this to the end:
(?:\s+\S+){5,}

For example to filter questions with 6 words or more:
^(who|what|when|where|why|how|which|can|does|is|are|should)\b.*(?:\s+\S+){5,}

Replace the 5 with your # of choice.
