Your firm's website, built in
Compass by WattReach builds your site and runs it, and your team edits it from the page itself.
Your pages: each page's last change, a home-page edit waiting to publish, and the bar that marks changes ready to go live or schedules them.
The site is part of the system
Every Compass build includes the firm's own website, built for the firm on Astro and served as static pages on the firm's own domain. Your team changes words, photos and answers from Compass or from the live page, and every publish runs the same 18 checks, and a page that fails one does not go out.
What you get
18 checks on every build.
Titles and descriptions, alt text on every image, page dates that change only when the words do, links, redirects, the security policy, and more. A page that fails does not ship.
Edits from the page itself.
From any page of your site, your team opens it for editing in Compass, previews how it will look in Google, and publishes. Each page keeps its history, and any change can be undone.
Publishing on your schedule.
Set a change to go live at a date and time up to a year ahead. It goes out within five minutes of that time, never before.
Spanish, paired page for page.
Spanish pages sit beside their English ones, and the build fails if a pair stops pointing at each other.
Static, and watched.
Pages are built ahead of time and served as static files, so there is little to load, and Compass shows each site's speed for real visitors on phones and computers. The home page is checked every five minutes, and a site that fails twice in a row calls WattReach.
Read by AI assistants too
How AI assistants read, quote and cite this same site is on the AI search page.
How it connects to the rest of Compass
A form on the site files its inquiry in Compass with the first page the person saw and the site, ad or campaign that sent them (lead management). The site is where the drafted answers to people's AI questions are published (AI search), and it carries the directory profiles you confirm (local search).
