A Tampa web-design firm: 1,500+ ranked keywords since January.
A separate Tampa-area web-design business — a Miss Pepper client, not Miss Pepper itself — rebuilt their own site on this system at the start of 2026. By the time we shipped this case page, their ranked-keyword count had passed 1,500. The result, in their own market, against the exact playbook described elsewhere on this site.

First, the honest read
This is a client’s outcome. Not this site’s.
A web-design agency talking up “1,500 keywords ranked” for a “Tampa web-design” build invites the obvious question — is that this site? It isn’t. This case is a separate Tampa-area web-design firm we built for as a client. If we were going to claim something for the Miss Pepper site itself, we’d say so — and the number would be different anyway.
We put the case on the work page deliberately, because it’s the most directly analogous outcome to what a buyer landing on this site is contemplating: they’re considering a web-design / authority-site build for their own business, in a competitive metro, against other agencies. A real example of one such buyer doing exactly that — and the result they got — is more useful than another anonymised case study from a different vertical.
The shape of the build
Same playbook, same brand-system, same fourteen days.
-
01
Strategy & cluster shape. We mapped the actual searches a Tampa-area buyer of a website makes — by service (web design, web development, SEO, ecommerce), by industry vertical, by buying-stage question — and picked the 60-keyword cluster head.
-
02
Brand-distinct design. Theirs, not ours. The agency wanted a visual identity that didn’t read as “another Tampa web shop”; we built one and they own the theme outright.
-
03
Cluster content at standard depth. Pillars, supporting pages, FAQ pages, internal-link graph, schema. Single template applied across the cluster.
-
04
Standard ramp. Live in 14 days, first ranking movement by day 30, the 1,500+ count is the cumulative figure across the first few months as more pages indexed and broke out.
It’s the same build everyone else on this page got. The market it’s competing in happens to be ours.
Why this one matters
If the playbook works for a Tampa web-design agency, it works for a Tampa anything.
The Tampa web-design search market is one of the more competitive local-services categories in the metro — established agencies, paid-ads competition, and a buyer who reads a lot of sites before deciding. If a build into that market can pull 1,500+ ranked keywords in its first few months, the same approach into a less competitive category (HVAC, plumbing, attorneys, MSPs, specialist B2B) tends to do at least as well.
If you’re looking at the Miss Pepper site and wondering whether the discipline shown here transfers to your business — this is the closest available proof point. The playbook on this site is the playbook that client got.
