5 signs your website is costing you local customers

5 signs your website is costing you local customers

Is Your Website a Leaky Bucket?

You might be getting traffic, but if that traffic isn't converting into phone calls or emails, your website has a problem. Here are five signs your site needs an overhaul.

1. It takes more than 3 seconds to load

Visitors are impatient. If they have to wait for your site to load, they will just hit the back button and go to your competitor.

2. It looks broken on mobile

Over 60% of local searches happen on a phone. If they have to pinch and zoom to read your phone number, they won't bother.

3. There is no clear Call to Action

What do you want visitors to do? "Call us now for a free quote" should be prominent, not hidden at the bottom of a page.

4. The design looks like it's from 2010

An outdated design makes people subconsciously question the quality of your services.

5. You aren't tracking anything

If you don't know where your leads are coming from, you can't improve.
