What is Search Experience Optimization (SXO)?

SXO improves the experience signals behind search and conversion: Core Web Vitals, accessibility, clarity of CTAs, and scannable structure.

What performance targets do you use?

We aim for LCP ≤1.5s, INP ≤100ms, and CLS ≤0.05 on priority templates when infrastructure allows—validated with Lighthouse and field data when available.

Usually a fixed performance sprint on key templates, optionally followed by a retainer. Request a quote via /connect.

Overview

Don't just attract visitors — give them a reason to stay

SXO treats experience as part of search success: Core Web Vitals, mobile-first responsiveness, intuitive navigation, high readability, visible trust signals, and streamlined conversion paths.

We set ambitious performance targets (LCP ≤ 1.5s, INP ≤ 100ms, CLS ≤ 0.05) as engineering goals for priority templates — measured and iterated, not promised as guarantees on every page under every network condition.

How We Work

Experience baseline

Lab and field CWV, UX heuristics, and funnel drop-off on key templates.

Fix & redesign priorities

Sustain with budgets

Performance budgets and review gates so new features do not undo SXO gains.
