JMAC Plumbing & Air spent 30 years building a two-trade Las Vegas business — and lost control of its own website logins through a chain of vendors. The Hydra OS rebuild put the site back in the owner's hands and measured 1,487 sessions in its first 28 days, up from 59. Three Vegas client configs run today.
Steve at JMAC Plumbing & Air described the problem that brought him in: 'We've had so many people involved, and the last person who was doing it got fired. At this point, nobody knows what the login information was anymore.' Thirty years of plumbing and HVAC reputation, held hostage by lost credentials.
The rebuild put JMAC on a site it owns — and the first 28 days measured 1,487 sessions against 59 in the 28 days before launch, with 'jmac plumbing' climbing from average position 2.1 to 1.4. Vegas now carries three CIWG client configs: JMAC, Air-Right (a Ruud Pro Partner with 28 config service areas), and a garage-door company.

How we stack up →CI Web Group runs three Las Vegas client configs on Hydra OS, anchored by JMAC Plumbing & Air — a 30-year, two-trade Vegas company whose rebuild measured 1,487 sessions in its first 28 days (up from 59) and moved its brand query to position 1.4.
Air-Right adds Vegas HVAC coverage with 28 config service areas, Ruud Pro Partner status, and NATE/EPA certifications on file.
It means the site, domain, and data are yours — no vendor can lock you out, and no login chain can strand you. JMAC's story is the cautionary tale: multiple vendors over the years, the last one fired, and nobody left who knew the credentials. That can't happen on a CIWG build, structurally.
In a market like Vegas with heavy contractor turnover and aggressive agency churn, that ownership guarantee is worth as much as the ranking.
JMAC did: 59 sessions in the 28 days before launch, 1,487 in the first 28 days after — a site that had been effectively invisible becoming the company's front door. The mechanics are day-one indexing, a 95-performance static build, and structured data AI engines can read.
Every number above is CI reporting (GA4 and Search Console), published with its measurement window on the launch story.
