    Your website is a salesperson, not a brochure

    If your site doesn't help a stranger decide to call you in 10 seconds, it's costing you. Here's the simple framework we use.

    A brochure tells you what a company does. A salesperson helps you decide whether to buy. Most service-business websites are brochures. The good ones behave like salespeople.

    The 10-second test

    Open your homepage on your phone. In 10 seconds, can a stranger answer: what do you do, who is it for, and what should I do next? If not, that's the leak.

    • Headline names the outcome, not the service.
    • Subhead names the customer.
    • One obvious next step above the fold.
    • Proof (reviews, photos, badges) within easy reach.

    See where your funnel actually leaks.

    A 90-minute Growth Checkup, plain English, no pitch.

    "Clarity beats clever every time."
