The example

The Whole Hound Academy, rebuilt

The Whole Hound Academy in Bath had gone a full month without a new enquiry, and its old Wix site had slipped off the front page of Google. We rebuilt it around the way dog owners choose a trainer, fixed the searches it needed to be found for, and moved bookings onto a flow that holds on to people.

Who builds it
