Oregon Counselors is the studio's own product, which means it's also the demo: every service Ulric sells is running there in production, right now.

What's under the hood

  • Custom platform & CMS — a statewide directory of 16,700+ licensed providers with structured profiles, editorial guides, hubs, and programmatic SEO pages, all on a hand-built PHP engine.
  • Provider CRM & lead pipeline — match-quiz leads routed to verified providers with delivery tracking, reminders, and a spam blocklist.
  • Intelligence everywhere it earns its keep — the Ask assistant (text-to-SQL over an isolated, PII-free database), a trained fix-queue for search-console issues, and an agentic toolchain running daily operations.
  • Native iOS app — live on the App Store, sharing the platform's API.
  • Growth engine — structured data, sitemap orchestration, IndexNow, and content pipelines holding top-3 Google rankings for its core searches.

Built and maintained end to end by one person and an custom agentic toolchain — and, in the spirit of full disclosure, this very case study was assembled by that same toolchain.

Stack: PHP, Python, JavaScript, Swift, and SQL, with an custom agentic toolchain running the build. The studio isn't married to a language; it uses whatever the job needs.
