    5 Website Mistakes Costing You Jobs Right Now

    Your website shouldn't just look pretty; it should act as your best salesperson, working 24/7 to turn visitors into leads. If your site isn't generating calls, you might be making these common mistakes.

    1. No Clear Call to Action (CTA)

    Don't make visitors guess what to do next. Your phone number and a "Request an Estimate" button should be prominently displayed on every page, especially the header.

    2. Slow Load Times

    Homeowners are impatient. If your site takes more than three seconds to load, they will bounce. Optimize your images and use a fast hosting provider.

    3. Not Mobile-Friendly

    Over 60% of local searches happen on mobile devices. If your site requires pinching and zooming to read, you're losing customers.

    4. Lacking Social Proof

    People trust people. Feature real testimonials, before-and-after photos, and trust badges (like BBB or local associations) prominently.

    5. Hidden Contact Information

    Your contact info should be impossible to miss. Put it in the header, the footer, and on a dedicated contact page.
