You may have a beautiful website—but is it bringing in leads? Many business owners unknowingly lose potential customers every day due to small design or technical issues that kill conversion rates.

Here are 5 common mistakes we see and how to fix them:

1. Slow Mobile Load Times

If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load on mobile, you’re losing visitors.
Fix: Optimize images, reduce unused scripts, and use speed tools like Google PageSpeed Insights.

2. Weak or Missing CTAs

A “Contact Us” button hidden in the corner won’t cut it.
Fix: Place bold, action-driven CTAs throughout your site (e.g., “Book Your Free Strategy Call”).

3. No Local SEO or Schema Markup

Without LocalBusiness schema and local keywords, you’re invisible to nearby customers.
Fix: Add your location, phone number, and schema code to boost local rankings.

4. Lack of Social Proof

No testimonials, reviews, or client logos? That erodes trust fast.
Fix: Add 2–3 reviews, star ratings, or video testimonials to key pages.

5. No Analytics or Tracking

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
Fix: Set up Google Analytics and tracking tools to understand visitor behavior.
