Clarity and trust
The first screen should name the service or offer plainly. Deeper sections should explain distinct services, service coverage, process, team or company context, and proof that can be verified.
- One clear H1 and primary action
- Readable service and service-area pages
- Original work, credentials, or process proof
- Consistent phone, email, and business information
Mobile and lead experience
Test every call, email, form, menu, and important page on a phone. Forms should request only useful information, explain what happens next, and provide a truthful confirmation after submission.
- Tap targets that fit a thumb
- No text or buttons cut off
- Fast access to urgent contact options
- A human-owned follow-up process
Technical and ownership basics
Confirm HTTPS, search metadata, canonical URLs, crawl rules, analytics consent and scope, backups, domain access, account ownership, and a practical update plan. Tools should collect only the data the business is prepared to protect and use.
