Walker Tree Service is a family-owned, licensed and insured tree company in Palm Harbor, Florida, serving Pinellas County. We gave them a new tree service website design and moved them off Duda with all 74 blog posts, then added five dedicated service pages, a private admin portal and My AI Editor, so the owner publishes his own posts.
Founder and owner Brian Walker runs a family-owned tree company that handles tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, palm care and storm cleanup across Pinellas County. The team serves homeowners, real estate agents, property managers, businesses and government agencies, with 24/7 emergency service. That is a lot of audiences for one tree service website design, plus a blog library of more than 70 posts.
Walker's website and its library of more than 70 blog posts lived on Duda. Moving off meant bringing every post over and keeping the old links working.
Our approach was a modern rebuild, not a copy, with a few firm rules.
A 94-page static site on Vercel, with the Duda blog brought over and restyled.
Five dedicated service pages and a 90-day SEO review with 10 fixes.
A private back office for leads, live since June 30, 2026.
Owner Brian Walker publishes his own blog posts through My AI Editor.
Duda's theme marks post titles as H3, not H1, so a simple export grabs the logo and menu with every post. We rebuilt our extractor to pull only the article, and Walker's migration became the reference for our standard Duda migration process.
We added callouts, card grids, pull quotes, stats rows and calls to action around the original text, under a strict rule that the words do not change. Six AI agents working in parallel finished the pass in about 30 minutes.
We matched the original Duda URL paths, added redirects for the old /home page, old blog paths and truncated Duda slugs, and made trailing slashes consistent so visitors skip redirect chains.
Tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, storm cleanup and palm trimming had no dedicated pages, so we built one for each, with Service, breadcrumb and FAQ schema, linked across the site.
At the 90-day review in September 2026, the site scored 78 out of 100 on our WES SEO audit. We shipped 10 fixes, measured the live site again, and it scored 90 with no critical issues left. In Search Console, the average Google position improved from 41 before launch to 27 at the review.
The owner keeps the site fresh himself, publishing new posts through My AI Editor. What we watch next is whether the five service pages move up for local searches like tree removal and tree trimming in Palm Harbor.
The score is WES's own 100-point SEO audit rubric, measured on the live site before and after the fixes; position is Google Search Console's average position.
No. All 74 posts came over by launch day, with about 160 images downloaded and hosted with the site. The new site matches the old Duda URL paths, and redirects cover the old /home page and truncated Duda slugs.
Yes. Owner Brian Walker publishes his own blog posts through My AI Editor, and new leads land in a private admin portal with an inbox, a pipeline and a spam view.
