Opinions please
« on: November 25, 2012, 08:46:30 pm »
There's been a few posts about websites lately and to be honest my enquiries have slowed down a bit. I've noticed people have blogs and different links on their website and was wondering if that helps in any way. To very computer literate so any advice in simple terms if possible please. All opinions welcomed, many thanks.

Google is changing all the time what worked a few months back will now not work very well for some, you have a lot of images on from page good content is key
If you want a blog have one they work massively well if used right

Some things that need fixing your site:

1. There are some layout/display issues in firefox, eg words partially outside boxes or across photos.
2. The photo's - stock photo's simply DO NOT SELL your service. If you want to turn website visitors into customers you need REAL photo's of you!
3. Every page has the same title. Page titles are very important to your SEO, so make each different (Relevant to the page) and include keywords in ALL titles
4. Keywords - you've used your services as keywords (Window cleaning, gutter cleaning etc) but your geographic keywords are very sparse. You need to list all the towns/area's/villages/districts you work in,.. generic references like "South east Kent" aren't good enough for Google.
5. "Soffit and ???" needs finishing!
6. Your testimonials page is blank - a blank page is worse than no page at all!
7. Your "contact us" page is blank!!!!!
8. The "Our Services" and "Methods" buttons don't do anything, you have to drop down to the sub-menu. The main link button should go somewhere.
9. You've no "Privacy Policy" (good for google ranking) and no "cookie policy" (which UK law in an uncertain & confusing way supposedly requires)
10. The whole site is too wordy. The average person spends approx 20 seconds on a webpage - make sure that your pages show main selling points above the fold & displayed for quick & easy reading.

What your site looks like doesn't get you visitors, so that's not the issue.

Your starting point is to identify your keywords. What will people type into Google to find a window cleaner in the areas you target? You then need to write your site content so that it is rich in those keywords without spam. To start choose one and work on that. From a quick look at your site I can't even see what area you cover.

Edit: Clicked again and the welcome screen says se London and Kent. People probably will search more using locale. E.g "window cleaner bromley"

True - but if your site looks rubbish, the issue may end up being failure to turn those visitors into customers,..

But he isn't getting visitors and the only thing someone searching for a windy wants is a phone number to call f or a quote. The rest is just nice to have.

not getting visitors part is true but the other part is not strictly true. Some people need certain things which they research online first which is getting more and more get it wrong no call and a waisted visitor that will not return easily
