Nobody Searches "Emergency Plumber" Because They're Curious
A burst pipe at 11pm isn't an information problem. It's a five-minutes-ago problem. Building FixRN meant admitting that a good article was never going to be enough on its own.
An emergency plumbing and HVAC property rebuilt from WordPress into a fast static site, with a decision tool that helps homeowners tell a fix-it-now problem from one that can wait.
A WordPress home-service site.
Moved to static PHP with a full design system and no database to maintain or secure.
A seven-stage pass on decision content, editorial method, a decision tool, structured data and social profiles.
Fully indexed, with every sitemap URL accepted by Search Console.
Counted from a full render of the build, every page executed and every internal link followed. Last checked October 11, 2026.
