We were invisible on Google. Within 90 days of working with RankRGV, we went from nowhere to showing up in the map pack for 'family doctor McAllen.' Our new patient calls tripled.

Harlingen's healthcare economy demands websites that build trust fast
Valley Baptist Medical Center, the UTRGV Health Sciences campus, and dozens of specialty clinics make healthcare Harlingen's defining sector. But the same trust standards that apply to healthcare are bleeding into every Harlingen professional service — patients don't separate their standards for a clinic website from their standards for an attorney or financial advisor.
We've seen what most Harlingen business websites look like right now. Slow loads. No schema markup. Generic templates. Outdated on mobile. The bar is low enough that a properly built site stands out immediately — and Google's rankings reflect that within weeks.
We build on Astro — not WordPress — which produces 99+ PageSpeed scores by default. Healthcare sites get HIPAA-compliant forms, medical schema markup, and content structured for the specific searches Harlingen patients and clients make.

How we build Harlingen business websites
A clear process — from first call to ranked, converting, and live.
Discovery Call
We start by understanding your Harlingen business — your services, whether healthcare HIPAA requirements apply, your Cameron County service area, and what you need your website to accomplish.
Site Architecture & Keyword Map
We map the full page structure based on how Harlingen customers search — including healthcare-specific terms, Valley Baptist adjacency, and Cameron County coverage pages.
Design Mockup
Full desktop and mobile mockup before code is written. Healthcare sites get specific trust-signal design treatment. Every design is built for your Harlingen market — not repurposed from a template.
Build & Content Integration
We build the site with your content, photos, and business information integrated. Healthcare forms are built HIPAA-compliant by default. Every page is optimized for Harlingen and Cameron County local search.
Testing & Launch
Full cross-device testing. PageSpeed audited, schema validated, forms tested and verified. DNS migration handled. Healthcare sites get extra validation on schema and form security.
Post-Launch Foundation
Google Search Console setup, sitemap submission, GBP link updated, 30-day indexing monitoring. Your Harlingen rankings build correctly from day one.
RGV businesses getting real results
Real clients, real outcomes. No made-up metrics.
The website they built loads in under a second and looks better than anything in our industry. But more importantly — it actually shows up when people search for car repair in Brownsville. Our Google traffic doubled in the first month.
Summer is our busiest season and we were losing jobs to competitors who showed up on Google and we didn't. RankRGV fixed that. We're now in the top 3 for 'AC repair Mission TX' heading into this summer. Game changer.
I was skeptical about digital marketing — but RankRGV showed me exactly which searches my clients were using and built pages targeting every single one. We now rank #1 for 'personal injury attorney Edinburg.' Worth every dollar.
I had a website but nobody could find it. RankRGV built out our McAllen and Edinburg pages, cleaned up our Google Business Profile, and within 60 days we were getting calls from Google Maps. First time ever.
We switched from a national marketing company that never understood the RGV market. RankRGV is local — they knew exactly what Harlingen patients search for. Our new patient inquiries from Google went up 4× in three months.

Harlingen web design questions answered
Are there special web design requirements for Harlingen healthcare businesses?
Yes — healthcare web design has specific requirements. HIPAA-compliant contact forms (no patient data stored insecurely), healthcare-specific schema markup (Physician, MedicalOrganization, MedicalClinic), Google's health content guidelines, and trust signals that matter to patients — credentials, board certifications, patient testimonials formatted correctly. We build healthcare sites that rank for the searches Harlingen patients are actually making and convert those visits into appointment requests.
How much does a professional website cost for a Harlingen business?
Most Harlingen business websites run $2,000–$5,000. Healthcare and medical sites with multiple providers, service pages, and patient resources sometimes run higher depending on complexity. We build on Astro — not WordPress or page builders — which means 99+ PageSpeed scores and better Google rankings as a baseline. We give you a clear number upfront, no hourly billing, no surprise fees.
Will a new website help my Harlingen business rank on Google?
Yes — if it's built correctly. A fast, mobile-first site with proper LocalBusiness schema, Harlingen-specific page structure, and correct keyword targeting will outrank slow, generic competitor sites. Harlingen has relatively low web design competition in most categories outside of healthcare. We see Harlingen businesses move in Google rankings within 60–90 days of launching a properly built site.
Can you build a Harlingen website that serves all of Cameron County?
Yes. Many Harlingen businesses serve patients, clients, or customers across Cameron County — from Brownsville to San Benito to Los Fresnos. We build your site to rank for Harlingen-specific searches as the primary anchor while adding city pages for other Cameron County markets you serve. Service area businesses don't need a physical address in every city — they need the right page structure.
Does Valley International Airport affect how I should build my Harlingen website?
For hospitality, transportation, and professional services that cater to business travelers, yes. We can build airport-adjacent content that captures searches from visitors and business travelers moving through Harlingen. For most residential service businesses, the airport angle is less relevant — we focus on the search terms your actual customers use, not generic local landmarks.
How long does a Harlingen website build take?
4–6 weeks for a standard business site. Healthcare sites with HIPAA considerations, multiple providers, or resource libraries can run 6–8 weeks. The biggest timeline variable is content delivery on your end — photos, credentials, service descriptions. We provide a content checklist early in the process so nothing stalls the build. Full design mockup for approval before any code is written.
