The challenge
WashingtonExec serves a tight, executive audience in GovCon — long-form interviews, awards coverage, and event recaps. The legacy stack made publishing slow, search indexing inconsistent, and ad placements brittle. They needed a publishing system editors could move fast in and a foundation Google would treat as authoritative.
What we ran
- Custom WordPress build with a tuned editorial workflow and authoring components
- Information architecture rebuilt around executives, companies, and sectors
- Technical SEO + schema for articles, people, and organizations
- Performance budget enforced — Core Web Vitals in the green on launch

“JMG didn't just rebuild the site — they re-architected how we publish. We're shipping faster and ranking on names we never could before.”
