Matta Ruiz Construcciones has spent 20 years building luxury homes, pools, and fine finishes across the Nicoya Peninsula, from Santa Teresa and Mal Pais to Nosara and Samara. Their work speaks for itself. We built them a digital presence that carries that reputation just as far, and works just as hard.
What we delivered
- A fast, fully bilingual website (Spanish and English) that loads instantly on any phone.
- A portfolio that puts their real projects front and center, each with its own page, photos, and location.
- One-tap WhatsApp contact, so an interested client reaches a real person in seconds.
- Local SEO tuned for the whole peninsula, so people searching for a builder in their area actually find them.
- A perfect Lighthouse sweep: 100 across performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO, plus a clean 3/3 on Google’s new Agentic Browsing checks.
The result is simple. The quality clients see on a Matta Ruiz job site is now the quality they see online, the moment they land on the page.
We also built it for what is coming
Here is the part most websites miss. A new kind of visitor is starting to arrive on the web: AI assistants, like the ones inside ChatGPT and Gemini, that now search, compare, and even contact businesses on a person’s behalf. That traffic is still small, it is growing fast, and it tends to show up ready to act.
Most sites are not built for it, so it passes them by. We made sure Matta Ruiz is ready. Their site is structured so a person and an AI assistant can both find the right project and the right contact, fast. When the next customer goes looking for a builder in Nicoya, Matta Ruiz shows up clean, however they search.
