Public SEO teardowns

A public teardown is a real website audited in full and published — findings, priorities, and what we would leave alone — exactly as we'd audit a client's site. You watch us think instead of reading a claim.

Every teardown publishes the full analysis — the unflattering parts included.
Why not case studies?

Harder to fake than a testimonial

Case studies are easy to cherry-pick and hard to verify — a percentage improvement without context tells you very little. A teardown is harder to fake: you can check our reasoning against the live site yourself and judge whether it holds up.

Frankly, it's a better way to evaluate an SEO provider than reading testimonials — you're watching us think, not reading a claim.

A note on selection

We pick publicly accessible sites and focus on structural, publicly observable issues — not private data we wouldn't have. If we ever teardown a site whose owner objects to the framing, we're happy to hear from them via contact.

A teardown is illustrative — not a substitute for a full audit of your specific site. The free written audit is the real thing.
