Your score over time with The Refiners Co
Score projections based on site structure, SEO signals, and consistent monthly work. Most clients see meaningful movement by month 3.
No HTTPS — "Not Secure" on Every Visit
dcbread.com is HTTP only. Every browser flags it "Not Secure" the moment someone taps the link, before they ever see a single loaf. For a 30-year business, that first impression undercuts everything you've actually earned.
Blue Egg Bakery Owns the Map Pack
Search "bakery Elk River MN" and Blue Egg Bakery holds position 1. Diamond City Bread doesn't appear in the top 3, despite 30 years in the same downtown location and a 4.8-star reputation on Google.
Sandwich Orders Require a Word Document
There is no online order form. Customers download a Microsoft Word document to place a sandwich order, then print it or call it in separately. That is friction most customers won't push through on a phone.
Wholesale & Catering Invisible Online
You already supply Blackbird Coffee Co and local restaurants — a real, confirmed B2B relationship. But Google sends zero traffic to that side of the business. There is no wholesale landing page, so new accounts have no way to find you.
HTTPS + Elk River SEO Foundation
Free automatic HTTPS through Cloudflare, "Elk River" built into the title, headline, and schema markup, and full Bakery structured data — hours, address, exact GPS coordinates — so Google finally understands who you are and where you are.
Real Reviews Front and Center
Lauren, Kim, and Hannah's actual Google reviews, plus your 4.8-star / 230-review badge, now live at the top of the page. Right now that reputation exists only on Google — nobody sees it on your own site.
Online Sandwich Ordering
An interactive order form replaces the Word document. Customers build their order right on their phone, and it's ready to bring in or read off at pickup — no downloads, no printing.
The Vault Story, Told Right
Your bakery sits inside a 140-year-old bank vault, and almost nobody knows it. We built that story into the homepage plus three SEO blog posts on sourdough and shelf life — content built to be found and shared.
Wholesale & Catering, Already Active
Untapped Channel
Blackbird Coffee Co and local restaurants already buy from you. A wholesale landing page (Month 3) opens that channel to new accounts searching Google.
30 Years, 4.8 Stars, 230 Reviews
Demand Exists
The reputation is already earned. This is about making sure the people searching for it online can actually find you first.
Monthly Investment
$399 setup + $399/mo
Momentum package, friend & family rate (normally $799/mo). 3-month minimum, then month-to-month. See page 2 for what's included.

Questions you will probably ask us (and honest answers)
How long before we see results in Google?
Local SEO improvements typically take 90 to 180 days for a competitive term like "bakery Elk River MN." Google Business Profile changes show faster, often within 30 to 60 days. We track movement monthly and show you the data, including where you stand against Blue Egg Bakery.
We've run on word of mouth for 30 years. Why do we need this now?
Word of mouth built the reputation. It doesn't show up in a Google search. New residents, people driving through, and anyone searching "bakery near me" never hear the word of mouth — they see whichever bakery Google shows first. Right now, that's Blue Egg.
Can this help with wholesale and catering, not just walk-ins?
Yes — that's the highest-value opportunity here. You already supply Blackbird Coffee Co and local restaurants. A wholesale landing page (Month 3 build) gives new accounts a way to find you, instead of relying only on relationships.
What happens to the Word document order form?
It's replaced. The new site has an interactive order form built in — customers build their sandwich order on their phone, no download required. Bring it in or read it off at pickup, same as before, just without the friction.
Do we own the site?
Yes. The site is fully custom HTML with no platform dependency, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. If you ever leave, the files are yours — no hostage situations, no lock-in.
What if we want to cancel?
We start with a 3-month minimum. After that, 30 days written notice, no penalty. You keep the website, the domain stays yours, and we hand off cleanly. Our only retention strategy is doing work you're happy to keep paying for.
