Fix-First Scorecard

Score each page by customer friction, revenue proximity, effort, and owner input. The ranked list shows what to fix Monday morning.

Completed example

Composite: North Jersey glass repair company

Recent calls show customers keep asking whether the company repairs skylights, whether photos can be sent first, and whether Bergen County is in the service area.

  1. Contact path: 10 points. Add photo instructions, tap-to-call, and response window.
  2. Homepage: 9 points. Rewrite the first screen around repair, area, proof, and next step.
  3. Service page: 7 points. Add repair-versus-replacement language.

Monday recommendation: fix contact path and homepage copy first. Do not assign a full redesign until service area and repair scope are confirmed.

1

Homepage

Check: Can a stranger tell what the business does, who it helps, where it works, and what to do next?

Fix first: Rewrite the first screen before changing the whole page.

Completed example: Example: homepage says 'quality services.' Change it to the service, area, proof point, and next step.

Score 3
2

Main service page

Check: Does the page explain the offer, fit, timing, and first buying question?

Fix first: Add a short 'This is for you if...' block near the top.

Completed example: Example: add who the service is for, when to call, and what happens after the request.

3

Contact path

Check: Can someone act from a phone without hunting for hours, area, phone, or response expectations?

Fix first: Add tap-to-call, response timing, and what to include in the request.

Completed example: Example: add 'Send photos for a same-day estimate window' above the form.

Score 3
4

Customer questions

Check: Are the repeated phone and email questions answered where hesitation happens?

Fix first: Move answers onto the page where the question first appears.

Completed example: Example: if callers ask about minimum jobs, answer it on the service page, not only by phone.

Score 3
5

Proof

Check: Is proof near the decision, or hidden in a footer, profile, or review widget?

Fix first: Put one relevant review, photo, policy, or example near the call to action.

Completed example: Example: put one job photo and warranty note beside the quote request.
