A quick gut-check

So, why do you have a website?

To get clients. Patients. Diners. The right people finding you and picking up the phone. Is your website helping, or getting in the way? Six quick questions, no wrong answers.

Six questions. Be honest.

You're super busy. You don't have time for an expensive, time-consuming project to get a new website made, so you just haven't done it. That's completely normal.

  1. Does it work well on a phone?

    People don't use laptops like they used to. Most people looking for a plumber, a dentist or dinner are holding a phone. Pinch-and-zoom sends them to the next result.

  2. Ask ChatGPT for a place like yours. Does it find you?

    There's real engineering behind a site that Google and AI assistants can understand: structured data, clean code, speed. It's invisible to visitors, and it's how they learn who you are and what you do. Many older sites skip it. The place down the street might not.

  3. Can they call, book or order in one tap?

    If the phone number isn't tappable, a ready-to-buy customer just became a lost one.

  4. When did you last update it?

    Hours, menu, team, photos, prices. If it's been years, it's due some love. Totally normal.

  5. Does it make you look good?

    If the website was all someone had to go on, would you want to do business with you? Or is there a little wince when you say "check out our website"?

  6. Do you get good leads from it?

    Or fewer than you'd hope? A website should be your best salesperson, working every hour of the day.

Said "not sure" a few times?

You're in good company. Fixing it doesn't have to turn into a big project. If we've already built you a new site, you can see it side by side with your current one. It's $500 to launch, then $25 a month, no contract. If you pass, nothing changes.

Questions about websites, Google or AI search? Ask away, even if you never buy anything.
