## How the studio works
Listen (one call, one written brief) → Design (concepts, then considered rounds) → Build (assembled from parts built and tested many times, which is why timelines are days) → Ship (live, verified, files and domain handed off in the client's name).

## Facts
- Sites ship with structured data (schema.org), service and city pages where relevant, an llms.txt file and plain entity statements.
- Clients own all files, Canva sources, the site and the domain.
- Copy is written by the studio and approved by the client before launch.

## Free tool
- [AI Visibility Check](https://aurumdesigns.co/ai-visibility-check/) - A free check for service businesses: whether search engines and AI assistants can reach, read and understand a website. 64 signals in nine areas (crawlability, on-page SEO, local SEO, structured data, service content, AI crawlers, trust, leads, technical delivery), a score out of 100 and a prioritised fix list. It does not measure rankings or guarantee AI citations.
