Common Questions
Should I focus on service pages or blog posts?
A single, well-optimised service page can outperform dozens of blog posts for local enquiries, because it is built to convert rather than just to inform. Internal links to proof content, such as reviews and case studies, do more for conversions than a constant stream of new posts.
When is the best time to ask for reviews?
Evening SMS requests sent between 6pm and 7pm double the review rate compared with messages sent in the middle of the day.
What should my homepage hero section include?
It should clearly state what you do, who it is for, and what the visitor should do next, all without them needing to scroll.
