Dachshund and Pomeranian · Wisconsin, United States
From broken WordPress to a new site in under a week
Bear Valley Puppies - Jan Francois - Wisconsin
Visit Bear Valley Puppies→Bear Valley raised Dachshunds and Pomeranians on two separate WordPress sites. Both slow, neither mobile-friendly, and Google was losing track of the kennel. Jan wanted one consolidated site that worked on a phone. In April 2026 we rebuilt the whole operation on our Next.js stack and redirected the two old domains.
The challenges
- ×Two separate WordPress sites for Dachshunds and Pomeranians, splitting authority
- ×Slow, outdated themes with poor mobile experience
- ×No schema, no llms.txt, invisible to AI search
- ×Manual Facebook-first sales process with no automated follow-up
The solutions
- ✓Consolidated both breeds onto one domain (bearvalleypuppies.com) with dedicated breed landing pages
- ✓Full Next.js rebuild with schema, llms.txt, and mobile-first layout
- ✓301 redirects from both old domains preserve every ranking URL
- ✓Two Google Business Profiles updated to point to the new breed-specific pages
- ✓Pipeline automation for Dachshund and Pomeranian buyers separately
