Your Website

Almost everyone researches a business via their website before they consider doing business with them. Does it answer all the questions:

  • Name, address, phone number, social profiles
  • Products and services and why this will meet any needs
  • Special offers or capacity to fulfil your needs
  • Pricing or examples of pricing
  • Why is your business unique
  • How are you locally driven or supportive
  • Testimonials
  • Guarantees

Remember that your website is out there and visible 24/7 so it needs to be answering questions and driving people to get in touch with you.
