Five things to fix on your website this month
You don't need a new website to win more enquiries. Start with these five checks, most of which take less than an hour.
Most small business websites lose enquiries for a handful of ordinary reasons. None of them need a rebuild to fix. Open your own site on your phone and work through these.
1. Can someone call you in one tap?
Your phone number should be at the top of every page on a phone, and tapping it should start a call. If it's an image or buried in the footer, people won't find it.
2. Do you say what things cost?
You don't have to publish every price, but a starting price helps people decide to get in touch. "From £30" answers the question most visitors came with.
3. Are your opening hours right, everywhere?
Check your website and your Google profile say the same thing. Wrong hours on Google are one of the quickest ways to lose a customer.
4. Does it load quickly on a phone?
If your home page takes more than a few seconds on mobile data, many visitors leave before it appears. Oversized photos are the usual cause and the easiest fix.
5. Is there one clear next step?
Every page should end with one obvious thing to do: call, book or send a message. Too many choices, or none, and people do nothing.
