Process

From audit to shipped code in 90 days.

Every Fortify engagement follows the same engineering-first cadence. Here's exactly what happens, week by week.

01/
Week 1–2

Forensic technical audit

We crawl your store, instrument it with our internal tooling, and review your Liquid theme, installed apps, schema, and Core Web Vitals at the codebase level. The deliverable is a prioritized fix list — not a 200-page PDF.

  • +Crawl + indexation report
  • +Liquid theme audit
  • +Apps audit (cost + JS impact)
  • +Top-10 fix shortlist
02/
Week 3–6

Quick-win shipping

We get into your codebase. Schema, canonicals, internal linking, and Core Web Vitals fixes ship through PRs against a staging theme. Most clients see ranking movement before the audit phase is even fully written up.

  • +Schema injection (Product, FAQ, Breadcrumb)
  • +Liquid speed fixes
  • +Canonical strategy implemented
  • +Initial internal linking refactor
03/
Week 7–12

Strategic build-out

Custom app development kicks off — programmatic landing pages, internal linking engines, or whatever your structural moat looks like. Content production runs in parallel.

  • +Custom Shopify app v1 shipped
  • +Topical content map
  • +First 4 long-form articles live
  • +Authority outreach launched
04/
Month 4+

Compound growth

We move to ongoing weekly shipping cadence: dev tickets, content, link acquisition, and CRO experiments. You get one weekly sync and one monthly executive review.

  • +Weekly dev shipped
  • +Monthly content production
  • +Authority link campaigns
  • +CRO experiments
