Most McAllen business websites are costing you customers — quietly
A slow site doesn't just lose rankings — it loses the customer the moment they tap your link. Google's data is clear: if your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, over half your mobile visitors leave before the page appears. In McAllen, where most searches happen on a phone, this is your first impression.
We've looked at most of the websites ranking for McAllen keywords right now. They're slow. They're not mobile-first. They don't have proper schema markup. Most were built on page builders that make them worse with every plugin added.
We build on Astro — a modern static site framework — which is why every site we ship scores 99+ on Google PageSpeed. That speed advantage translates directly into higher rankings and more conversions.
✓

How we build McAllen business websites
A clear process — from first call to Google-indexed and ranking.
01
Discovery Call
We start with a 30-minute conversation about your McAllen business — your services, target customers, top competitors, and what you want your website to actually do for you. This shapes everything.
02
Site Architecture & Keyword Map
Before we design anything, we map out the full page structure based on how McAllen customers search. Every page has a purpose — no filler pages, no wasted clicks.
03
Design Mockup
You review a full desktop and mobile design before any code is written. We iterate until it's exactly right. Our designs are built around your brand and your market — not a template.
04
Build & Content Integration
We build the site and integrate your content, photos, and business information. Every page is optimized for speed and local search as it's built — not bolted on afterward.
05
Testing & Launch
Full device and browser testing before launch. PageSpeed audited. Schema validated. Forms tested. DNS migrated. You get a handoff walkthrough so you know how to update your own content.
06
Post-Launch SEO Foundation
We submit your sitemap to Google Search Console, verify your GBP link points to the new site, and monitor for any indexing issues in the first 30 days. Your rankings don't stall at launch.
Client Results
RGV businesses getting real results
Real clients, real outcomes. No made-up metrics.
The website they built loads in under a second and looks better than anything in our industry. But more importantly — it actually shows up when people search for car repair in Brownsville. Our Google traffic doubled in the first month.
2× Google traffic in first month
Summer is our busiest season and we were losing jobs to competitors who showed up on Google and we didn't. RankRGV fixed that. We're now in the top 3 for 'AC repair Mission TX' heading into this summer. Game changer.

I was skeptical about digital marketing — but RankRGV showed me exactly which searches my clients were using and built pages targeting every single one. We now rank #1 for 'personal injury attorney Edinburg.' Worth every dollar.
Ranking #1 for primary keyword
I had a website but nobody could find it. RankRGV built out our McAllen and Edinburg pages, cleaned up our Google Business Profile, and within 60 days we were getting calls from Google Maps. First time ever.

We switched from a national marketing company that never understood the RGV market. RankRGV is local — they knew exactly what Harlingen patients search for. Our new patient inquiries from Google went up 4× in three months.

McAllen web design questions answered
How much does a professional website cost for a McAllen business?
Most McAllen small business websites run $2,000–$5,000 for a well-built site that loads fast and ranks. The range depends on how many pages you need, whether you need a blog, and the complexity of your services. We don't use page builders or templates — every site is custom-coded, which is why they perform so much better than the average McAllen website. We give you a clear number upfront, no surprises.
How long does it take to build a new McAllen business website?
4–6 weeks for a standard McAllen business site. The timeline depends on how quickly you can provide content (logo, photos, your service descriptions) and how many revision rounds we go through. We move fast on our end — our builds are typically waiting on client input, not the other way around.
My McAllen competitor has a bad website and still ranks. Why?
Because Google ranks on more than design. Your competitor probably has a strong Google Business Profile, a few years of local citations, and some reviews. Those signals outweigh a slow website — for now. But here's the thing: McAllen search competition is still weak. A properly built site with the right technical foundation will overtake them. We see it happen within 60–90 days consistently.
Do I need a completely new website or just improvements to my current one?
Depends on what's holding you back. If your current site loads in over 3 seconds, isn't mobile-friendly, or doesn't have proper SEO structure, a rebuild will outperform trying to fix a broken foundation. If it's just missing the right content and local pages, we can build on top of what you have. We'll tell you honestly after we look at it — we won't push a full rebuild if it isn't needed.
Is SEO included with a new McAllen website?
Every site we build includes the technical SEO foundation: fast page speeds, proper meta tags, LocalBusiness schema, city-specific pages, mobile-first design, and a clean URL structure. That's table stakes for us. Ongoing local SEO — GBP management, citation building, review strategy — is a separate engagement if you want to keep pushing rankings after launch.
Do you use WordPress or page builders for McAllen websites?
No. We build on Astro — a modern static site generator that produces sites that score 99+ on Google PageSpeed out of the box. WordPress sites with page builders typically score 40–65. That gap matters enormously for both ranking and conversion. If you already have a WordPress site you want to keep, we can still help — but for new builds, we use the right tool for the job.
