Giving a New Website Time to Establish a Baseline
The Lawn People’s website was rebuilt with a modern, mobile-friendly design and a clearer structure for lawn care, landscaping, stump grinding, seasonal cleanup, minor dirt work and commercial snow removal across Appleton, Greenville and the Fox Valley. Digital X launched the site with organized headings, crawlable navigation, internal links and an updated sitemap.
Because the rebuild was still new, we gave Google time to crawl and index the core pages before making the next round of major SEO changes. This created a cleaner Search Console baseline and a more deliberate plan for future optimization.

Why We Let the New Website Establish a Baseline
When a website is newly rebuilt, making repeated major SEO changes can make it difficult to determine which improvements are actually working. Digital X first made sure Google could reach the main pages, follow the internal links, read the sitemap and begin collecting real search data.
Once the initial crawling and indexing baseline is established, Search Console can show which services and locations are gaining impressions, which pages need clearer targeting and where the commercial-only positioning should be strengthened. This gives the next SEO phase a specific purpose instead of relying on guesswork.
What the Initial Crawl Revealed
What the Initial Crawl Revealed
Google Search Console showed that the rebuilt website had established an initial indexing baseline, with 30 pages indexed. Most of the excluded URLs were not primary service pages—they were older shop, product, feed, archive, category and add-to-cart URLs remaining from the previous website structure.
This baseline gave Digital X a clear direction for the next phase: clean up outdated URLs, reduce unnecessary crawl paths, confirm the correct service pages are indexed and strengthen the website’s commercial-only targeting using real search data.
LEGACY URL CLEANUP
The next phase will review outdated shop, product, add-to-cart, feed and archive URLs while correcting redirect and server errors remaining from the previous website structure.
CORE PAGE INDEXING
Digital X will clean up crawl paths, confirm the correct service pages are indexable and monitor Search Console as Google processes the technical changes.
COMMERCIAL SEO STRATEGY
Headings, service content, metadata and internal links will be strengthened around commercial lawn care, property maintenance and commercial snow-removal searches.
Ready for the Next SEO Phase
The Lawn People now has a modern website and a reliable Search Console baseline showing how Google is processing the rebuilt site. With 30 pages indexed and legacy shop, product, archive and feed URLs clearly identified, Digital X can begin technical cleanup and commercial-focused SEO using real data instead of assumptions.
