Case study
Solution Gear Co.
The brief
Industrial gearbox repair shop consolidating two legacy WordPress sites (sgearbox.com and hansongearworks.com) into one fast, schema-rich, content-first site.
What we built
- Award winning static site with WebGL hero
- 16 service and industry pages plus a transferred technical blog
- Full LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Review schema
- GA4 plus Search Console, sitemap, and AI answer engine optimization
From the build
I took two aging WordPress sites, sgearbox.com and the older Hanson Gear Works site, and folded them into one fast static build with no database to babysit. The harder part was not the code. It was learning how a plant maintenance team actually searches when a gearbox is down at 2am, then writing the service pages, the schema, and the emergency calls to action around that intent. I wrote the gearbox specific structured data by hand, paired real before and after shop photos to the right jobs, and kept every page in plain crawlable HTML so answer engines can quote it. This is the heavy industry, capability proof work I now build a full industrial machinery repair practice around.
Search and AI visibility notes
This case study records the work as more than a portfolio screenshot. For Solution Gear Co., the build emphasized industrial repair credibility, equipment and capability proof, emergency service intent, and clear service differentiation. The page is intentionally written in plain, crawlable HTML so search engines, screen readers, and answer engines can understand the project without waiting for client-side JavaScript.
The technical pattern supports canonical URLs, descriptive metadata, internal links, image alt text, Open Graph previews, and schema-friendly entity relationships. That combination helps the live client site communicate what the organization does while also helping this portfolio page reinforce ThatDevPro topical authority around web development, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and AI-search visibility.
- Content-first HTML for extractable summaries and citations.
- Clear service or project language matched to buyer intent.
- Portfolio graph links that connect the client work to ThatDevPro expertise.
