A Vietnamese-American agency
built for your community

Founded by Duy Xa — a motion graphics designer, developer, and entrepreneur with deep roots in the Vietnamese-American community. With a background spanning creative production, tech, and small business ownership, he built 5 Spices Agency to solve a problem he saw firsthand: great Vietnamese-owned businesses being invisible online.

So we flipped the script. Most agencies charge you up front and hope you don’t ask too many questions. We do it backwards: we build first, you pay only when it works.

936 users · 90 days Maxim Karaoke website
Karaoke / Hospitality · Westminster, CA

Maxim Karaoke

Zero to ranked on Google in 4 weeks. Booking system, full SEO stack, and a live GA4 dashboard. 936 active users in the last 90 days, 218 search clicks, 7.58K impressions.

🥢 Before

No website. Walk-in traffic only. Google Business Profile with 38 reviews and nothing else doing.

🔥 What We Cooked

  • 9-page WordPress site with private-room booking
  • Stripe booking integration
  • Rank Math SEO + schema markup
  • GA4 + Search Console + live performance dashboard

🌶 The Heat (live numbers)

  • 936 active users in last 90 days
  • 218 search clicks · 7.58K impressions
  • +321% traffic in first 28 days
  • Position 2.0 for “karaoke Westminster”
Why it worked. Mobile-first UX and Google Business Profile alignment drove fast Map Pack ranking for high-intent local queries — like “karaoke near me” and “karaoke rooms near me,” which now bring in 20+ clicks/month each. View live site →
713 users · 90 days Runam Garden website
Restaurant & Venue · Fountain Valley, CA

Runam Garden

Squarespace to WordPress in 2–3 weeks. 713 active users in the last 90 days, with organic search now driving 61 monthly sessions and Google Maps a real contributor.

🥢 Before

Generic Squarespace template. No schema, no analytics, no Google Business Profile, no lead capture. Beautiful restaurant — invisible online.

🔥 What We Cooked

  • 7 custom HTML pages on WordPress
  • Restaurant + Event JSON-LD schema
  • 3 lead-capture forms (booking, events, catering)
  • Rank Math SEO, GA4, and full GBP optimization

🌶 The Heat (live numbers)

  • 713 active users in last 90 days
  • 61 monthly sessions from organic search
  • Indexed & tracked from week one
  • Reservations + venue rental forms live
Why it worked. Dedicated pages per revenue area — menu, reservations, live music, venue rental — gave Google clear, targeted ranking signals instead of one generic homepage trying to rank for everything. View live site →
11.2% CTR · 7 days Econo Auto Club website
Automotive · Orange County, CA

Econo Auto Club

Broken site rebuilt into a bilingual lead system in 7 days. 334 active users last month, 33 organic sessions and a custom Chrome extension that auto-syncs Facebook inventory to WordPress.

🥢 Before

Broken site with 404 errors everywhere. Inventory only on Facebook. No leads coming in, no tracking installed, no idea what was working.

🔥 What We Cooked

  • 12-page bilingual WordPress site (EN + VI)
  • Custom Chrome extension for FB → WP inventory sync
  • Twilio SMS lead routing
  • Full SEO stack + GBP + city-targeted pages

🌶 The Heat (live numbers)

  • 334 active users in last 30 days
  • 11.2% CTR from search · industry avg 2–5%
  • 33 organic sessions · 60 direct sessions
  • Lead system live in 7 days flat
Why it worked. Bilingual city pages targeted buyer-intent queries — “used cars Orange County,” “used cars Garden Grove,” “used cars Westminster” — that big dealerships ignore. Custom inventory sync meant the owner posted to Facebook once and the site updated automatically. View live site →
454 users · 30 days FG Real Estate Development
Construction & Development · Garden Grove, CA

FG Real Estate Development

Broken Wix to custom WordPress in 3 weeks. 454 active users last month, 29 organic sessions, dark luxury design, and a self-managing project CMS so the client posts new builds without touching code.

🥢 Before

Broken Wix site — 9 project links pointing to wrong URLs, contact form missing, email typo causing active lead loss.

🔥 What We Cooked

  • Custom WordPress with 9+ pages
  • Dark luxury design + LocalBusiness schema
  • Custom project post type for self-managing CMS
  • GBP optimization + GA4 + Search Console

🌶 The Heat (live numbers)

  • 454 active users · 453 new users last 30 days
  • 798 monthly GBP profile views
  • 700 customer interactions (calls/clicks)
  • 5.0 stars · 12 reviews · live in Map Pack
Why it worked. Fixing the broken infrastructure — email, forms, links — immediately restored lead flow. GBP optimization put them in the Map Pack within weeks. The client now posts new construction projects themselves through a custom CMS. View live site →
4 languages · 0→1 build Lavender Hall event venue
Event Venue · Orange County, CA

Lavender Hall

Built the entire digital foundation from scratch — multilingual site in 4 languages (EN/VI/ES/KO), GA4, Search Console, and Google Ads, all set up for the first time in the venue’s history.

🥢 Before

No analytics, no GBP, no directory listings. Google Ads were running under the wrong brand name. Beautiful venue, zero digital infrastructure.

🔥 What We Cooked

  • Multilingual WordPress site (EN/VI/ES/KO)
  • GA4 + Google Search Console baseline
  • Google Ads rebuilt + Moz Local + GBP
  • 4-language city targeting across OC + LA

🌶 The Heat (live numbers)

  • First-ever analytics baseline established
  • 4-language reach: EN, VI, ES, KO
  • Each lead = $2K–$10K venue booking
  • SEO progress tracking now live
Why it worked. No competitor was reaching Vietnamese, Spanish, and Korean venue buyers in OC. Multilingual targeting opened doors none of the English-only competitors could. View live site →

Hot Takes

What real clients
actually said

Vietnamese-owned business owners share what happened after we turned up the heat.

★★★★★
Working with Duy has been one of the best decisions for our venue. He built our website and our bookings have noticeably increased. He understands both the Vietnamese market and what modern customers expect.
Hợp tác với Duy là quyết định tốt nhất cho venue của chúng tôi. Đặt phòng tăng rõ rệt sau khi có website mới.

Duy completely transformed our online presence. The new website is exactly what we envisioned — elegant and professional. We’re getting more inquiries from customers who found us on Google.
Duy đã thay đổi hoàn toàn sự hiện diện trực tuyến của chúng tôi. Website mới đẹp và chuyên nghiệp đúng như chúng tôi muốn.

★★★★★
Before working with Duy, our website wasn’t bringing in any customers. Now we get calls and walk-ins from people who found us on Google. The difference is night and day — worth every dollar.
Trước khi hợp tác với Duy, website không mang lại khách hàng nào. Giờ thì khách gọi điện và đến trực tiếp sau khi tìm thấy chúng tôi trên Google.

Questions we get
all the time

What’s the catch?
+
There isn’t one. We bet on our own work. If we can’t build something that brings you customers, we shouldn’t be in business — and we don’t deserve your money. The free trial is how we earn the right to send you an invoice.
What counts as a “lead”?
+
Phone calls over 30 seconds, contact form submissions, booking requests, and direct email inquiries — all tracked automatically. You see them in a shared dashboard. No vanity metrics, no impressions — just real people contacting you.
Will I lose my current Google ranking?
+
No. We preserve all your existing URLs and add to them — your current rankings stay intact and typically improve once we add proper schema, page speed fixes, and a clean structure.
Why are you doing this for free?
+
Because most local businesses have been burned by agencies that over-promise and under-deliver. We’d rather prove ourselves with a real working website than convince you with a sales pitch. Our cost on a free build is small compared to the value of a working portfolio.
How long until I see results?
+
Local SEO typically shows movement in 2–4 weeks. Lead volume usually picks up by week 3–4. The 30-day test gives you a clear, honest signal — not a vague “give it more time” excuse.
What’s the difference between Path A and Path C?
+
Path A is a partnership — we keep growing your visibility, run SEO, track leads, and optimize monthly. Path C is a clean handoff — you own the website, we host it free for two years, and you take it from there. Path A = marketing partner. Path C = great website, no service.
Do you only work with Vietnamese businesses?
+
Absolutely not. We specialize in Vietnamese-owned businesses but serve any small business in Southern California. Cultural fluency is an advantage, not a restriction.
Tôi có thể nói chuyện bằng tiếng Việt không?
+
Được. Anh Danny là người Việt, làm việc trực tiếp với chủ doanh nghiệp bằng tiếng Việt hoặc tiếng Anh — tùy anh chị muốn. Hợp đồng, báo cáo và tư vấn đều có thể bằng tiếng Việt.
