5 Website Mistakes Costing Contractors Thousands
Slow load times, buried phone numbers, and four more silent conversion killers we find on nearly every contractor site we audit.
"Small website friction points compound into huge revenue losses. Fixing basic user experience flaws instantly increases your call volume."
The 5 Silent Killers
1. Uncompressed 10MB camera photos on mobile pages.
2. Hidden tap-to-call buttons.
3. Generic stock imagery instead of real technicians.
4. Outdated copyright dates and broken links.
5. No clear statement of service boundaries.
Key Takeaways
- Uncompressed image files cause 3+ second delays on mobile networks.
- Lack of clear licensing and insurance badges reduces homeowner trust.
- Hard-to-find contact buttons drive visitors back to search results.
