Websites that publish, watch and report on themselves

Growing a local site takes steady work every week: new pages, getting them found, tracking what rings the phone. I built an engine that does that work on its own and sends one report on Monday morning.

The real Monday report. Names of privately owned sites are blurred.

The problem

What wasn't working

A local website doesn't rank once and stay there. It needs new, useful pages, those pages need to get found, and someone has to notice when something breaks.

That's a few hours of steady work every week per site. Most owners don't have it, so the site goes quiet and the calls slowly dry up.

What I built

The short version

  • New local pages written and published to each site every week, each one checked against an accuracy standard
  • Every new page sent to Google and Bing the moment it goes live
  • Tracked phone lines and forms, so every call and request is counted by site
  • A Monday report, a deeper monthly one, and a daily check that stays silent unless a site breaks

How it works

Start to finish

  1. Step 1

    Monday, before work

    New pages publish to each site and get sent to the search engines, so the week starts with fresh content already submitted.

  2. Step 2

    Then the report

    One email: leads, rankings, traffic and what got indexed, per site, with a short to-do list for anything that needs a person.

  3. Step 3

    Every day, quietly

    A health check watches for a site going down or a page dropping out of Google. It only speaks up when something is wrong.

  4. Step 4

    Every month, a second look

    A deeper report, plus an audit that re-reads every published page and flags anything that isn't accurate anymore.

What was hard

The parts that took thinking

Automatic, but never careless

Pages publish on their own, so every one is checked against rules for that kind of business, and a monthly audit re-reads them all.

The owner keeps the decisions that matter

It never spends money, contacts a customer or changes a domain on its own. Those wait for a yes.

The payoff

What it does for the business

A site that keeps working

Fresh pages and new searches every week, without anyone remembering to do it.

Know what rings the phone

Calls and requests are counted per site, so spending follows what actually brings in customers.

Problems caught the same day

If a site goes down or drops out of Google, the owner hears about it that morning, not a month later.

For a business like yours

Where this fits

This fits any business whose website should be bringing in customers but nobody has time to tend it:

  • A service business that serves many towns
  • An owner with more than one site or location
  • A team that publishes now and then and can't tell what's working
