In smaller Ohio towns, shaky Wi-Fi exposes bloated sites fast. For a local dev shop, we rebuilt article templates with lean assets, meaningful headings, and Article JSON-LD without the keyword stuffing.

Result: 18% more organic entrances and fewer bounces from the audiences we actually serve — manufacturing, healthcare, and civic teams working on real constraints.
