Stop paying for a website that does not work: 10 fixes that turn visitors into enquiries
This is a subtitle for your new post
If your website looks fine but it is not bringing in leads, you are not alone. Most small businesses do not need a full rebuild to get better results. They need a handful of targeted improvements that remove friction, build trust, and make it obvious what to do next.
Below are ten practical fixes you can apply to turn more of your site visitors into calls, quote requests, and bookings.
1) Make your main message instantly clear
Within the first five seconds, a visitor should understand:
- What you do
- Who you do it for
- What they should do next
If your hero area is vague, you lose attention fast. Replace generic headlines with a specific promise and a clear next step.
2) One primary action per page
Your page can offer options, but it should have one primary goal. Too many buttons, banners, and competing offers create decision fatigue.
A simple rule: every key page should lead to one main action (enquiry form, booking link, call, or purchase).
3) Fix mobile first (because that is where most people are)
A site that looks great on desktop can feel clunky on mobile: oversized headers, awkward spacing, tiny buttons, forms that are painful to complete.
Mobile usability is not just “nice to have.” It affects conversions and search performance.
4) Add trust signals where people hesitate
People do not only buy what you do. They buy confidence.
Add trust signals near your key CTAs:
- Testimonials
- Review snippets
- Memberships or accreditations
- Before and after photos
- Clear process steps
Place them next to forms, booking buttons, and pricing pages, not buried on a separate testimonials page.
5) Speed up your pages
If your site is slow, visitors bounce and Google notices.
Common causes:
- Over sized images
- Too many third party scripts
- Unoptimised fonts
- Heavy animations
Even small speed improvements can lift conversion rate.
6) Make your contact and enquiry options effortless
If your contact page makes people think, they leave.
Quick wins:
- Put phone and email in the header and footer
- Use click to call buttons on mobile
- Keep enquiry forms short
- Set expectations after form submission (what happens next)
7) Improve your local visibility with Google Business Profile
If you serve a local area, your Google Business Profile is often your highest converting asset. Many businesses set it up once and never touch it again.
Regular updates help:
- Accurate services and descriptions
- Fresh photos
- Posts and updates
- Q and A
- Review strategy
8) Create service pages that actually rank and convert
A single “Services” page is rarely enough.
Each core service should have its own page with:
- A clear explanation of who it is for
- The outcomes and benefits
- FAQs
- Proof and examples
- A strong call to action
This helps SEO and makes it easier for visitors to self select.
9) Use a booking or quote system that removes back and forth
If you spend time replying to “When are you free?” messages, add a booking flow. Even a simple discovery call calendar can lift conversions because it reduces friction.
10) Track what matters (otherwise you are guessing)
If you do not measure, you cannot improve.
At minimum, you want to track:
- Contact form submissions
- Button clicks (call, email, WhatsApp)
- Booking completions
- Top landing pages
- Search queries bringing traffic
This turns your website from a brochure into a measurable sales tool.
Quick checklist you can use today
- Does the homepage say exactly what you do and for whom?
- Is there one clear action per page?
- Is mobile easy to use with clear buttons?
- Are testimonials near your enquiry points?
- Does the site load quickly on 4G?
- Can someone contact you in under 10 seconds?
- Do you have separate pages for your core services?
- Is your Google Business Profile actively maintained?
- Are you tracking enquiries and conversions?
