Wheaton Valet.

The owner runs Wheaton Valet Cleaners and its sister locations across the DC metro. The existing Lovable.dev site loaded slowly, had no path for individual brand pages, and was not going to bring in the inbound the team wanted before a new location, Liberty Press, opened.

Scope: a complete rebuild on a stack the business could grow into, distinct brand experiences under one deployment, real intake (email + SMS), and an honest SEO foundation that didn't rely on tricks.

One Next.js codebase, one Vercel deployment, and a distinct visual identity for each brand, tuned to its location and customers.

• Next.js 16 + React 19 + Tailwind — App Router, server components by default, streaming where it earns its keep.
• Framer Motion for entrance animations on the hero and an accordion that doesn't fight the page.
• Vercel deployment with cleanUrls, SSL via the platform, automatic preview branches per PR.
• Resend for transactional intake email, domain-verified, RESEND_API_KEY set via printf not echo (the trailing-newline gotcha that breaks generated URLs is real).
• OpenPhone SMS alongside email; both go out from a single /api/intake endpoint.
• Knowledge-base chatbot for price quotes, hours, address shortcuts, and Liberty Press routing, falling back to a hosted LLM when the knowledge base has no answer.

Every brand page ships with its own structured data so Google has unambiguous machine-readable signals — not generic boilerplate. Structured data across the property: LocalBusiness, Organization, Service (per service), FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, plus location-specific PostalAddress.

• Audit verification rule: third-party SEO audits hit cached HTML half the time. Every claim was verified against a live curl | grep before action — saved hours of "fixing" things that weren't broken.
• Real reviews only. No invented testimonials, no fake star counts. Where social proof lives on the page, it's pulled from real Google Business profile data with citation.
