Phone displaying a sample business website with a red tap-to-call button

For a lot of customers, your website is the first impression, and often the reason they call you or the next business on the list. Here are seven signs yours is working against you.

7 signs
01

It's hard to use on a phone

02

There's no tap-to-call button

03

It's slow

04

It doesn't show your real work

05

Your info is out of date

06

It doesn't show up on Google

07

There's no easy way to request a quote or book

1. It's hard to use on a phone

Most people searching for a local business are on their phone. If they have to pinch, zoom or hunt for your number, they leave.

2. There's no tap-to-call button

Customers should be one tap away from calling you on every page.

3. It's slow

If it takes more than a few seconds to load, people give up before they see your work.

4. It doesn't show your real work

Stock photos don't win jobs. Real photos of your projects, your team and your trucks do.

5. Your info is out of date

Old hours, an old phone number or services you no longer offer confuse customers, and confuse Google and AI too.

6. It doesn't show up on Google

If your pages aren't indexed, they might as well not exist. Many sites have pages Google has never even looked at.

7. There's no easy way to request a quote or book

A simple quote, booking or tour request form that goes straight to your inbox turns visitors into leads, even at 10 p.m.

What a modern local business site needs

  • Phone-first design with tap-to-call everywhere
  • A page for each service and each area you serve
  • Real photos and reviews
  • Quote, booking or contact forms that send straight to your email
  • FAQ pages that answer real customer questions
  • SEO and GEO dialed in, and every page indexed on Google Search Console and Bing

Do you always need a brand-new site?

Not always. Sometimes your current site just needs fixes. But if it hits three or more of the signs above, a new site usually pays for itself.

Every website we build is custom, and every one comes with SEO and GEO dialed in and every page indexed.
