Case Study · Built From Zero
Real.Rent didn’t have a website. Not an old one, not a dated one - none at all. Launch Automation built Chris Brown a 16-page platform that separates prospective buyers from homeowners, verifies every address against Google’s own data, and routes each lead to the right person automatically - all before a human ever sees it.
Visit the live siteThis wasn’t a redesign. There was nothing to redesign. Here is what that actually meant for a two-sided matching business.
There was no domain to send a prospective buyer or homeowner to - nothing for either side of the match to find.
A matching business has two different intake conversations. Without a site, both had to be handled the same way, by hand.
Property and destination addresses had to be taken on faith and checked manually, one at a time.
Nothing stood between a public inquiry form and a person’s inbox.
A regulated, two-sided real estate service needs a clear record of what a visitor agreed to - none existed.
Nothing declared Real.Rent, its service area, or how it works in the hidden layer Google and AI assistants read - because nothing existed to declare it.
Every row on the right was measured on the live site and its own source files. Every row on the left is simply what did not exist yet.
There is no archived old site because there was no old site. Every “Now, live” figure above was measured directly from the live site’s own source files on 2026-09-02; methodology available on request.
The right side is the real, live site, playing right now. Nothing on the left is a screenshot of an old website, because none existed.
The homepage. Tap any page below to open it live, full screen.
Tap a page to open it live, full screen - these are the real pages, not screenshots.
So the platform was built for the phone first. The left screen shows what a phone found before this build - nothing. The right screen is a same-day capture of the live site, scrolling through the real homepage at phone size.
On the live site, the two entry paths are one tap from the homepage on any device, and the address field verifies what you type as you type it - no separate app, no manual lookup.
Anyone can see a clean two-path homepage. The layer underneath - the one Google, Siri and ChatGPT actually read - is where a platform built from zero either gets built right the first time, or doesn’t get built at all.
What most new platforms start with - nothing
What we give every client
Building a platform from zero means the layer underneath either gets built right the first time,
or it never gets built at all.
Every figure above was measured on the live site’s own source files on 2026-09-02. We don’t promise rankings - nobody honestly can. We build sites that search engines and AI assistants can actually read, which is what rankings are built on.
Here is what was actually delivered - not a template with new colors.
Not a form that just emails someone. Two separate 4-step guided intakes - one for buyers, one for homeowners - both post to a server-side function that validates, verifies and routes every submission before anyone sees it:
16 pages built around two audiences - buyers and homeowners - each with its own path.
Organization, WebSite and FAQPage schema in use site-wide, verified against the live source.
A structured llms.txt manifest naming every page, built for the way AI assistants actually read a site.
A live Google Places proxy confirms every address without ever exposing the API key to a visitor’s browser.
Honeypot field, timing check, and optional Turnstile - three layers before a lead ever reaches a database.
Every page and both intake flows built and tested at phone width first.
Titles, descriptions, canonicals, a 6-URL sitemap and a named-crawler robots.txt on every indexed page.
Strict Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, nosniff and a locked-down Permissions-Policy on every response.
Instead of one generic homepage, the site gives each side of the match its own place to work. Tap any of them to open the real, live page.
Each card above is a real, live page on the site - tap it to open it full screen. Buyer and homeowner traffic is split from the homepage down to the intake form itself.
No made-up traffic charts. Just what is built, verified and running today.

Published small-business pricing puts a comparable freelance or boutique build at $1,500 to $12,000 up front, plus $92 to $417 a month in hosting, security and maintenance. A custom lead-routing system with server-side address verification and layered spam defense is typically a separate development project on top of that. This build shipped a 16-page platform and a verification-backed routing system together, in one relationship.
Multiple vendors, billed separately
Website design & development

This was a straightforward build - one business, two intake paths, no legacy site to migrate. Most builds carry a low or no build fee and a modest monthly fee, priced to the scope of the work.
No existing site required. Tell us what you do and who you serve - that’s the whole assignment.
The site, the structured data, and a verification-backed lead system - built around what you actually do.
You see everything at a private link before anything goes live to the public.
