About HS Creative

HS Creative is an Austin-based design and development studio that helps businesses build websites that actually perform. The focus is on clarity first. When someone lands on a page, they should immediately understand what you do, who you serve, and what to do next. We build clean, modern sites with strong layout and messaging, fast load times, and mobile-first design so the experience feels easy and the path to conversion is obvious.

Our work is led by experienced professionals who handle both the creative and technical sides of the build. We have decades of combined experience across web design, web development, and digital marketing, and we have built everything from service-based marketing sites to e-commerce and membership platforms. HS Creative stays intentionally lean, which keeps projects moving and avoids the handoff problems that slow teams down. You get a clear process, direct communication, and consistent execution from the start of the project through launch.

Search visibility matters more than ever, and it is changing quickly. We still do the fundamentals that make SEO work, like solid site structure, strong internal linking, clean on-page optimization, and content built around search intent. But we also write and organize content so it is easy to understand in the way people search today, including results that summarize answers and pull information directly from a page. The result is a website that looks sharp, ranks better over time, and turns traffic into real leads, bookings, and sales.

What we do

Web Design

HS Creative designs and builds websites that are structured to rank, load fast, and convert. A strong site starts with information architecture that makes sense to both users and search engines: clear navigation, logical page hierarchy, service-focused URL structure, and content that maps directly to what people are searching for. We build with mobile-first layouts, fast performance, and clean front-end execution so pages render quickly, pass core usability expectations, and keep visitors moving toward a contact, booking, or purchase.

From an SEO standpoint, web design isn’t just visuals. It’s how headings are organized, how content is grouped, how internal links connect related topics, and how page templates create consistency across service pages. We build websites that support long-term content growth, reduce technical friction, and make it easy to expand into additional services, locations, and landing pages without creating a messy site that search engines struggle to interpret.

AI Search & GEO

AI-driven search is changing what it means to be “visible.” HS Creative helps businesses structure content so it can be understood and surfaced by generative systems that summarize results and pull answers directly from trusted pages. That involves writing and formatting content in a way that’s easy to parse, improving clarity around services, locations, and differentiators, and building stronger topical signals so your site becomes a reliable source when AI systems generate responses.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is not a replacement for SEO—it’s an extension of it. We focus on strengthening entity and topic clarity, improving question-and-answer coverage, and building pages that are more likely to be cited or referenced because they provide direct, well-structured explanations. The outcome is content that performs across traditional search results and emerging answer-style experiences, while still supporting lead generation and conversion once a visitor lands on the site.

Analytics

SEO without measurement turns into guesswork. HS Creative sets up analytics so you can actually see what search is doing: which pages are bringing in qualified traffic, what queries are producing engagement, and where visitors are dropping off. That includes GA4 configuration, Google Tag Manager event tracking, conversion setup, and reporting that ties organic performance to business outcomes like form submissions, calls, bookings, and purchases.

We also use analytics to guide ongoing SEO improvements. When data shows a page is getting impressions but not clicks, that points to title/meta improvements and better intent matching. When a page gets traffic but doesn’t convert, that signals UX, CTA, or content clarity issues. Analytics turns SEO into a repeatable process—optimize, measure, refine—so progress is based on evidence, not opinions.

SEO Foundations

SEO foundations are the baseline systems that make rankings possible over time. HS Creative focuses on the technical and structural work that helps search engines crawl, understand, and prioritize a website: smart site architecture, indexation and crawlability checks, internal linking strategy, metadata patterns, image optimization, and page-level content structure that reinforces topical relevance. The goal is to remove hidden issues that suppress visibility and replace them with a framework that supports consistent growth.

We also focus on aligning content to intent. That means building pages around the actual phrases and questions prospects use, clarifying what each page is “about,” and strengthening relevance through organized sections, scannable headings, and supporting subtopics. When a website is cleanly structured and each page has a clear job, it becomes easier to rank for competitive service terms and easier to expand into additional keyword opportunities without diluting focus.

SEM / Paid Search

Paid search works best when it reinforces organic strategy instead of fighting it. HS Creative builds Google Ads campaigns around high-intent keywords and directs that traffic to landing pages designed to match search intent closely. When ad messaging, keyword targeting, and landing page content align, quality scores improve, costs drop, and conversion rates rise. We also use paid search data to uncover real-world language customers use—then apply those insights to SEO content planning.

From an SEO perspective, SEM is a fast feedback loop. We use campaign performance to identify which services and keywords produce the strongest leads, which page themes resonate most, and what questions prospects are trying to answer. That intelligence informs organic content priorities, new service pages, and supporting articles, helping you build an SEO plan grounded in actual demand rather than guessing which terms might work.

Local & Location-Based

Local SEO is about earning visibility where business actually happens. HS Creative helps service businesses rank in specific markets by building location-driven site structure, strengthening geographic relevance, and supporting local intent with targeted service pages and localized content. That can include location page frameworks, service-area optimization, local keyword mapping, and content that makes it clear who you serve, where you operate, and what problems you solve.

For multi-location businesses or brands expanding into new areas, we focus on scalability without duplication. That means creating consistent page structures, unique localized messaging, and clean internal linking between locations and services so the site grows without creating thin content or confusing signals. Local visibility improves when the website communicates clear coverage and expertise—then reinforces it across content, structure, and ongoing optimization.
