Stop Guessing, Start Auditing
You don't need to be a developer to know if your website is broken. You just need to look at it through the eyes of a customer.
Take 10 minutes and check these 5 critical areas:
1. The 3-Second Test (Mobile)
Pull out your phone, turn off WiFi, and load your website. Did it take longer than 3 seconds? If yes, many of your visitors are leaving before it loads.
2. The "Above the Fold" Test
Without scrolling, can a visitor immediately tell:
- What you do?
- Who you do it for?
- How to contact you?
If your phone number isn't clickable in the top right corner, fix it today.
3. The Trust Test
Scroll through your homepage. Do you have real photos of your team, or just stock photos? Do you have recent, verifiable testimonials?
4. The Contact Form Test
Fill out your own contact form. Did you get an immediate confirmation email? Did you get a text message? If the lead just goes into a black hole, your prospects feel ignored.
5. The Service Page Test
Do you have a dedicated page for each of your main services, or just one generic "Services" page? Dedicated pages rank better on Google and convert better.
Did your site fail any of these tests? Run your site through our free Website Grader.
Frequently asked questions
How can I quickly audit my small business website?
Check five things on your phone: load speed, whether visitors instantly see what you do and how to contact you, real trust signals, what happens after a form is submitted, and whether each main service has its own page.
Why does each service need its own page?
Dedicated service pages rank better on Google and convert better than one generic "Services" page because they answer a specific search directly.
What should be on a small business website audit checklist?
Check five things: mobile load speed, whether the top of the page says what you do and how to reach you, real trust signals, what happens after a form is submitted, and a dedicated page for each main service.
How do I test my website's mobile speed myself?
Turn off WiFi on your phone and load your site. If it takes longer than about 3 seconds, many visitors are leaving before it finishes loading.
What should visitors see above the fold on my homepage?
Without scrolling, a visitor should see what you do, who you do it for and how to contact you. A clickable phone number in the top corner is one of the easiest fixes.
Do stock photos hurt my website's credibility?
They can. Real photos of your team and recent, verifiable testimonials build far more trust than generic stock images.
What should happen after someone fills out my contact form?
They should get an immediate confirmation, ideally by email and text. If a lead disappears into a black hole, prospects feel ignored and often move on.
Is there a free tool to grade my website?
Yes. Run your site through CasperB2B's free Website Grader, or book a 15-minute fit call to walk through what to fix first.
Before you book
Common concerns, answered
“How will I know it's working?”
Marketing is quoted as a monthly scope with clear deliverables you can see every month.
“What will this cost me?”
You get a fixed, written quote before any work starts. Nothing begins until you've seen the full price and signed the scope. How pricing works.
“I've been burned by an agency before.”
Your signed scope lists exactly what's delivered, so there's no guessing. Monthly plans are month-to-month, with no long-term contract.
“Will I actually reach a person?”
Yes. Founder Jared Casper reviews every new request and you get a personal reply within 1 business day. Or call or text 1-207-222-7737.
