For web design agencies
For design studios and development shops being asked to own visibility, content and campaign performance after launch.
Your agency keeps the client and the strategy. We do the work under your name.
The short answer
A web design agency can keep discovery, creative direction and the client while our team handles defined production or post-launch search work.
The safest model separates build acceptance from ongoing marketing, then writes the handoff between them.
A client rarely separates the website from what happens next. Search migration, landing-page production, tracking and ongoing optimisation arrive as reasonable questions even when they were never in the build fee.
Selected work
SEO · 64 months
ConfidentialOrganic work under the agency’s name. The client has never heard ours.
One engagement’s reported results, not a forecast.
Read the agency caseRedirects, metadata, forms, analytics and indexation are not optional SEO garnish.
They are release work with named owners. Set that boundary while the site is still being planned.
After launch, technical search, content and campaign pages can move into a separate cadence. The build team should not become an accidental monthly agency because the distinction was never written.
LOKAL can build from the agency’s design system or provide production patterns where needed.
Search recommendations come back with their visual and technical trade-offs rather than being pushed into the site by stealth.
The agency remains the final arbiter of brand and client promise. The specialist team owns the quality of the scoped implementation.
Before you choose
Use these tests on the work in front of you, not on a generic list of services.
One person can settle the release list across design, development, content, search, forms and analytics.
Defects, scope changes and post-launch growth work are not all forced through one support bucket.
Production work respects the approved system rather than introducing one-off landing pages that decay outside it.
The agency receives the artefacts and access required to support or move the account later.

Common questions
Pressure-test the decision on one real account.
Yes. We review representative components and missing responsive states first, then work inside the established rules.
Yes, but migration-critical search work should be identified before launch. Ongoing technical, content and reporting work can then use a separate cadence.
The scope names the defect window, maintenance owner and handover. New features and ongoing marketing are not assumed to be launch support.
Yes. There is no exclusivity requirement. Keep the designers, developers and suppliers your studio relies on; the written arrangement names the search and page work LOKAL takes on and the account-protection rules.
However your studio prices projects and care plans. LOKAL charges one retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month; the figure your client sees is yours to set.
Your agency sets the strategy for each client. Our senior strategist owns the plan for the work we run inside it, using the commercial context you supply, and your team approves that plan before specialists start.
