Contractors, plumbers, HVAC pros, and roofers lose calls every day because of avoidable website problems. Here are the seven biggest offenders.
The 7 mistakes
- No click-to-call button. Mobile customers want to tap and call – not hunt for a phone number.
- Missing service pages. Google can't rank you for "emergency plumbing Katy" if you don't have a page for it.
- Slow load times. Every extra second bleeds leads.
- No local content. Your city, service area, and neighborhoods need to appear throughout the site.
- No trust signals. License numbers, reviews, and years in business build confidence.
- Bad mobile design. The majority of local trade searches happen on phones.
- No structured data. Without schema, Google and AI assistants can't confidently recommend you.
