A marketing agency sells you a "law firm SEO package" — 50 practice-area pages, a city-and-practice grid, a few blog posts — sends a final invoice, and moves on. Six months later half the pages have stalled at position 30, three have weird AI hallucinations the agency never caught (and you can’t risk on a regulated practice), and your IT person has no idea how to fix any of it because the templates are buried inside the agency’s WordPress build.
I do the opposite. I build a focused cluster of pages on Astro 5, hand you the repo, and stay involved — reviewing Search Console with you each month, killing the pages that aren’t earning impressions, and writing the next batch into the gaps your data has revealed. A garden, not a one-shot delivery.

Independent full-stack engineer — six-plus years shipping production Astro, Next.js, and Laravel sites. I’ve built a programmatic SEO site for a US-China immigration consultancy that now ranks page-one for 129 of 156 queries (46 in top-3), a Next.js AI image studio that’s been my wife’s daily tool for two years, and a WeChat mini-program with admin panel for the Changchun Auto Show. I work exclusively with law firms now — regulated, jurisdiction-sensitive content is exactly where my brief-driven pipeline shines, and exactly where most agencies’ templated output falls apart.
