Client Overview
The Challenge: Outdated Website Holding Back Growth
When this established Yeovil home services company approached us in early 2024, they were frustrated. Despite having excellent customer reviews and 15 years of experience, their online presence wasn't generating the leads they needed to grow.
Problems with Their Old Website:
- Outdated Design: Built in 2018, looked unprofessional compared to competitors
- Poor Mobile Experience: Difficult to navigate on smartphones and tablets
- Slow Loading Speed: Taking 8+ seconds to load, losing potential customers
- No Local SEO: Not ranking for "Yeovil" + service searches
- Unclear Messaging: Visitors couldn't understand what services they offered
- No Clear Call-to-Actions: No obvious way for customers to get in touch
