The 3 biggest problems, in order of importance

1

There’s no easy way to call you from a phone

High impact
What we found

On a phone, your number only appears at the very bottom of the page, and tapping it does nothing. We had to scroll through 6 screens to find it.

What’s wrong

Customers have to scroll, find your number, remember it and type it in by hand.

Why it matters

Someone with a leaking pipe wants to call right now. Every extra step is a chance for them to go back to Google and call the next plumber on the list.

What fixing it does

A “Tap to Call” button at the top of every page lets people call you with one tap, so more of your visitors turn into phone calls.

Fix it yourselfAdd a click-to-call button (tel: link) in your site header and make it stick to the top of the screen on phones.

Google doesn’t know what you do or where

High impact
What we found: how your home page shows up in Google
mainstreetplumbing.exampleHome

Welcome to our website. We are a family owned business that has been serving the community for many years…

What’s wrong

Your home page title just says “Home.” It doesn’t say plumber or Springfield, and services like drain cleaning and water heater repair don’t have their own pages.

Why it matters

Google uses these signals to decide who shows up for searches like “emergency plumber near me” or “water heater repair Springfield.” When they’re missing, your competitors show up instead.

What fixing it does

Clear page titles and a page for each main service tell Google exactly what you do and where, so you can show up for the jobs you want.

Fix it yourselfChange the title to something like “Plumber in Springfield | Main Street Plumbing Co.” and add a page for each of your top 3 services.
Time to fixTitle: 15 minutes. Service pages: a few hours each
3

Your website is slow on phones

Medium impact
What we found: Google PageSpeed Insights, mobile
34
  • Large photos that aren’t compressed
  • A slider at the top that loads 5 big images
  • Takes several seconds before the page is usable

What’s wrong

Your site scored 34 out of 100 for mobile speed. The top 3 competitors scored between 58 and 71.

Why it matters

People on phones don’t wait. If the page is still loading, many will hit the back button and call someone else. Google also takes page experience into account.

What fixing it does

A faster site keeps more visitors on the page long enough to call you.

Fix it yourselfCompress your images, replace the slider with one main photo, and turn on caching.
