Why Clients Come to Us

Your website isn’t driving qualified leads

You inherited a site that is hard to update and measure. Or you feel like you’re running blind. Or traffic is dropping. Or leads are low-quality. Or you’re invisible in AI search.

Work with an agency that makes performance predictable

A lot of our clients have been burned by previous agencies. We work differently:

  • Strategy-first. We start with deep research and develop a comprehensive digital marketing strategy.
  • Specific to your brand. Everything is tailored for your brand, your audience and your industry.
  • AI is built into our process. Web design that trains AIs to recommend your brand.
  • Full-service expertise. Website design, web development, SEO, GEO, CRO and digital marketing. All in-house. 
  • Data-driven. We continuously track and optimize for rankings, AI visibility, lead generation and conversions.

For everyone at the table

You’re probably not the only person who needs to say yes

A website redesign project raises concerns and questions across your entire team. Here are the answers to some of your most pressing questions.

For your CFO:
What’s the ROI?

Our strategists will look at your current traffic, your conversion rates and the value of a closed lead to show you what your site is costing you every month.

For your IT Team Lead:
Who controls the platform after launch?

Your team will have full control after launch, complete with thorough documentation, 1:1 training and a scalable, secure platform built with web accessibility and data privacy in mind.

For your CEO:
How will we know it’s working?

Every project begins with a set of qualitative and quantitative goals. Post-launch, you’ll have access to custom reports detailing changes in your traffic, rankings and conversion trends.

For your Sales Leader:
Will the site help us close?

That’s the goal. We build websites that sales teams are proud to send prospects to, complete with user experience (UX) analysis, case studies, proof and clear next steps for buyers at every stage.

The questions we hear on almost every discovery call

Website redesigns start at $40,000 and go to $150,000 or more. The budget depends on the size of the site, how much new content you need and how fancy the custom features and integrations are. Redesigns are priced as fixed-scope projects.

Website optimization is a monthly engagement, starting at $10,000 per month.

Scope, deliverables and timeline are set before work begins. If something new comes up mid-project, we explain your options and the tradeoffs before anything changes. No surprises.

Most of our sites are built on WordPress. It’s flexible, it scales and it doesn’t lock you into a proprietary platform or a single agency. We also use HubSpot, Elementor and Drupal. When another CMS is required, we can handle discovery and design, then collaborate with development partners. We have designed sites that were then built in Sitecore, Shopify, AEM and many other systems.

Regardless of the back end, your team will be able to edit the site. We train your team, create a complete Page Block Library and hand over how-to documentation.

Yes, we write it. Every redesign includes a conversion copywriter who interviews your team and your customers, then writes pages built for your buyers. The writing is done by people who know your audience and your business.

Mostly, no. AI is an incredible tool for research, analysis and persona alignment and we have always used every tool available to push results. The AI methods we’ve developed are carefully tested (and widely used throughout our industry) but they do not replace the judgement of our human experts.

We do websites: strategy, design, development, content, SEO and conversion optimization. We do not manage paid ads or social media, and we don’t do brand identity or video production. If you need those, we’ll connect you with partners we trust. Many of these are partners we have worked with for 10+ years.

Most redesigns take 8 weeks to 4 months. Large sites, lots of stakeholders and custom design take longer. Focused projects with fewer stakeholders move faster. You’ll get a timeline from kickoff to launch before we get started.

Have a hard deadline? Tell us on the first call. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s realistic.

Yes. After launch, we offer hosting, managed services, security updates and ongoing support. We have a dedicated support team in-house. We can also support (and takeover hosting) for sites we didn’t build, starting with a technical review.

Yes. SEO is built into every redesign: keyword research, on-page optimization and technical setup. We also protect what’s already working. Before we change anything, we document your current rankings, keep the URLs that drive organic traffic and redirect anything that moves. Do no harm, then improve.

Discovery, strategy, copywriting, wireframes, design, development, launch. Each phase ends with a review, so you approve the direction before we build. You’ll have your own Project Manager and a regular meeting cadence. You’ll always know where things stand.

It’s part of every project. We research the buyer, identify their key questions, then answer those questions on key pages, training AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews to know the key points of your brand.

Beyond that, we deliberately focus on evidence and proof for those key points. Unsupported claims do not build trust with AI models. Specificity, clarity, answers and proof. The pages and copy must answer actual sales call questions and align with actual buyer decision criteria.

And because AIs search, we never skip to the keyphrase focus. A site that is not optimized for traditional search is not optimized for AI search. This means structure, keyword relevance and a clean technical setup.

Yes. Browse our many case studies. Want to talk to a client in your industry? Ask, and we’ll connect you.

Qualified leads, pipeline revenue and the measures most important to your core business come first. Then organic traffic and rankings, clickthrough rates and conversions. We set up tracking and custom dashboards so you can see the impact.

Conversion improvements often show up soon after launch. SEO gains build over months. Optimization clients get monthly reporting with results and next steps.

A dedicated in-house team: a web strategist, project manager, copywriter, designer and developer. Nothing is outsourced. Every Orbiteer brings expertise in content marketing, SEO, GEO and conversion optimization. If you’d like to meet anyone from our team, say the word.

Yes. Website optimization improves the site you have, page by page, through SEO, conversion rate optimization and AI search optimization. Many clients start with a redesign and add optimization after launch. Others start with optimization and redesign the website concurrently. We’ll walk through your options on the discovery call.
