Methodology: Routeless audited 97 business websites in Redmond, WA (2026Q3 benchmark). Homepage signals (CMS, structured data, contact paths, analytics) were collected from each site's live homepage; performance figures are Google PageSpeed Insights mobile lab metrics for the 96 sites that completed a run. Businesses were sampled across industries from public listings and licensing registries; national chains were excluded. Read Google's PageSpeed Insights methodology and download the anonymized Redmond benchmark summary. 6 unreachable Redmond sites were excluded from the sample, and 96 of the 97 completed a full PageSpeed run. Sampled businesses include Avara Construction, Bear Creek Family Dentistry, Bogo Construction, Sunrise Dental of Redmond, Essence of Dentistry, Formula 7 Electric, Fredericks Appliance Center. Collected August 27, 2026. Results describe the 97 sampled businesses, not every business in Redmond, and the benchmark is re-run, so these figures are a dated snapshot rather than a standing claim.

Benchmark observations

What the Redmond sample shows.

  • 86.5% of the Redmond business sites we tested fall in Google's 'poor' range for loading — the main content takes more than four seconds to appear on a phone.
  • 15.5% of the 97 sites have no discoverable sitemap, which means search engines are left to guess what pages exist.
  • Only 15.6% of tested sites get enough real visitors for Google to publish real-world speed data on them. Google did not publish field speed data for the rest of the sample.
  • 2.1% of the sampled sites offer any form of online booking or scheduling.
  • The stack split: 36.1% WordPress, 35.1% DIY builders, and the rest custom or unidentified.
  • In Redmond, 70.1% of homepages carry no contact form, and 25.8% do not offer a tap-to-call phone link on mobile.
  • 36.1% of the Redmond sample runs no detectable analytics, which limits what those owners can measure about visits and inquiries.

The median Redmond site shows its main content in 9.1 seconds on a phone. The observations above identify common content and contact-path gaps in the sample.

What we build

Custom websites connected to your business systems.

Websites

Business websites built for clear action

Strategy, messaging, custom design and development, performance and accessibility, booking and intake integration — measured against the Redmond benchmark above before launch.

Why this matters now

AI assistants are another source of recommendations.

When someone asks ChatGPT, or Google's own AI results, who to hire in Redmond, the answer draws on what those systems can read: fast pages, structured data, and consistent business information across the web. Structured data makes that information easier for search engines and AI systems to interpret and verify — and 22.7% of the 97 Redmond sites we tested publish none. Fast, structured, and consistent sites give Google and AI systems clearer information to read and verify.

We build for that standard and check the whole presence — your website, your Google Business Profile, and the listings AI assistants verify you against. We publish our research on how AI assistants recommend local businesses, one engineer owns your project from scope through launch, and the written scope, timeline, and price are agreed before work begins.
