What This Checklist Covers
- Website conversion optimization (visitor to caller)
- Local SEO and Google Maps visibility
- Google Business Profile optimization
- Reviews, reputation, and trust signals
- Paid ads, retargeting, and lead generation
- Lead follow-up speed and automation
- Tracking, reporting, and attribution
Quick Self-Check
- Your website clearly explains what you do, who you help, and how to contact you
- You have recent reviews and actively respond to them
- Your services are listed in plain language, not industry jargon
- Your contact info is consistent everywhere online
- You have a strong call to action on every key page (Call, Book, Request a Quote)
- Your website is secure (HTTPS) and actively maintained
- Your site loads fast on mobile
- Your pages are optimized for your service area, city, or region
- Your Google Business Profile is claimed, verified, and optimized
- You track form fills, calls, and lead sources
Why This Matters
If your website doesn’t convert, your Google profile isn’t optimized, or your follow-up is slow, you are losing business to competitors who simply respond faster and show up more often.
Small issues like broken forms, missing CTAs, slow response times, or outdated pages quietly kill conversions every day, often without most business owners realizing it.
This checklist helps you spot those leaks before they continue costing you money.
