Why Are Businesses Switching From WordPress, Wix and Squarespace to React?
Businesses switch to React because template-based platforms tend to slow down and become harder to maintain as themes, apps and plugins accumulate. A React website keeps the code lean, which supports speed, security, maintainability and how easily search engines and AI systems can read the content.
Speed
React websites are built for fast loading instead of accumulating themes, apps and plugins over time.
Security
Fewer third-party components means fewer of the plugin and theme vulnerabilities builders depend on.
Reduced Plugin Dependency
Functionality is built into the codebase rather than assembled from third-party plugins and apps.
Mobile Performance
Responsive, performance-focused builds designed around Core Web Vitals on mobile devices.
Maintainability
A managed modern codebase instead of ongoing plugin updates, theme conflicts and platform changes.
Search and AI Readiness
Structured content, schema and semantic markup are part of the build for SEO, AEO and GEO.

What Are SEO, AEO, GEO and Local SEO?
They are four related but distinct approaches to search visibility. SEO covers traditional organic search, AEO covers direct question answering, GEO covers generative AI systems, and Local SEO covers geographic and map-based search.
- SEO — Search Engine Optimization
- SEO is the practice of improving a website so it appears in traditional organic search results, such as Google and Bing. Learn more
- AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
- AEO is the practice of structuring and improving content so search engines and AI answer systems can understand it and use it to directly answer relevant questions. Learn more
- GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
- GEO is the practice of improving how a brand and its content are understood, retrieved, and represented by generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity. Learn more
- Local SEO — Geographic search visibility
- Local SEO is the practice of improving visibility in geographically relevant search results, Google Maps, local packs, and near-me searches. Learn more

What Do Business Owners Ask Before Working With TRSC?
The most common questions cover timelines, rankings during a migration, website ownership, AI search, service area, and what is included after launch.
How quickly can The Real Social Company build a website?
A standard build or migration of about 10 pages typically takes two to three weeks from kickoff to launch, including content transfer, redirect mapping, schema, and testing. Larger sites with e-commerce or membership areas usually take four to six weeks. Timing depends on the size of the website, content requirements, integrations, and how quickly approvals come back.
Will switching websites hurt my Google rankings?
A redesign or platform migration has to be handled carefully, because changing URLs, content, metadata, internal links, or site structure can affect rankings. We evaluate existing pages and search visibility, preserve valuable URLs when practical, implement redirects where necessary, and maintain important SEO elements. No company can legitimately guarantee rankings will never fluctuate, but the migration is structured to protect existing search equity as much as possible.
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own the code, the domain, the content, and your CRM data. There is no proprietary page builder lock-in and no monthly ransom to keep the site online. If you ever leave us, you keep everything.
Can The Real Social Company migrate a WordPress, Wix or Squarespace website?
Yes. We can redesign and migrate an existing business website from platforms such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Duda, GoDaddy, and similar website builders. During a migration we preserve important content, URLs, metadata, redirects, and SEO signals wherever appropriate, so the website improves without unnecessarily sacrificing existing search visibility.
Can The Real Social Company guarantee placement in ChatGPT or AI search?
No. No agency can guarantee placement, citations, or recommendations in ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, or any other AI system, because those platforms control their own retrieval and ranking. What we can do is structure your website, content, and schema through Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) so AI systems can more easily understand, retrieve, and represent your business.
Does The Real Social Company only work with businesses in Columbus, Ohio?
No. The Real Social Company is based in Columbus, Ohio, and works with many Columbus-area businesses, but we also serve businesses outside the Columbus area. Website design, SEO, AEO, GEO, content, and website management are delivered remotely, so location is not a requirement.
What happens after my website launches?
Hosting, maintenance, and website updates are handled for you according to your selected plan. There are no plugins to update, no theme conflicts, and no security patches on your to-do list. Requests go through our client helpdesk, and Growth plan clients also receive ongoing SEO, AEO, GEO, blogging, and email marketing support.
What is included in the $300 per month Growth plan?
The Website + Growth plan is $300 per month and includes a professional business website, hosting, website maintenance, on-demand website updates, ongoing SEO, ongoing AEO, GEO optimization, four blog posts per month, email marketing support, advertising strategy, and ongoing growth optimization.
