First impression
What someone thinks in the first three seconds. Is it clear what you do, who you serve, and what to do next — or does the visitor have to work it out?
What we check
Ten minutes, ten things that decide whether a visitor becomes a customer
Most sites don't fail because they're ugly. They fail because they're slow, hard to use on a phone, invisible in search, or impossible to contact. Here's what we look at before we call you.
Speed & performance
Real load times and Core Web Vitals, not a vanity score. Slow pages lose visitors before your homepage finishes rendering, and Google notices too.
Mobile experience
Most of your traffic is on a phone. We check tap targets, readable text, forms that work with a thumb, and whether your phone number is actually tappable.
Search visibility
Whether you show up for the searches your customers actually type — your services plus your town — and where you sit against the businesses that outrank you.
Google Business Profile
Claimed, verified, and complete, or half-finished? For local businesses the map pack often sends more calls than the website does.
Contact paths
How many clicks to reach a human, whether your forms still deliver mail, and whether anything is silently dropping leads on the floor.
Trust signals
Reviews, real photos, real names, and clear proof you're a going concern. This is what separates a site people call from a site people close.
Security & upkeep
SSL, broken links, out-of-date software, and stale content. A site that looks abandoned reads as a business that might be.
Content & clarity
Whether your pages answer the questions buyers ask, in their words — or talk about you in yours.
Competitive position
A side-by-side against two or three competitors in your market, so you can see exactly what they're doing that you aren't.
Nine in ten people start their search for a local business online. In rural Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas markets, that search usually ends at a Google result and a quick look at your website — and the businesses winning that moment aren't the biggest ones. They're the ones whose website and listing are complete, fast, and easy to act on.
How it works
Four steps, and only one of them is yours
We keep the walkthrough to ten minutes by doing the work up front. You spend two minutes on the form; we spend the rest.
- 01
Send us your site
Fill out the form below — business name, website, and how to reach you. About two minutes.
- 02
We do the review
We audit the site and your online visibility on our own time, before the call, so the call isn't spent watching us poke around.
- 03
10-minute walkthrough
A short call or Zoom where we tell you what's working, what's costing you customers, and what we'd fix first, second, and third.
- 04
The notes are yours
We send the findings in writing. Fix them yourself, hand them to your current developer, or hire us. Entirely your call.

What you get
You walk away with a list, whether or not you hire us
The audit isn't a teaser. It's the actual findings, written down, in the order we'd tackle them.
- A plain-English summary of how your site performs today
- Real load times on desktop and mobile, and what's slowing you down
- A mobile walkthrough of the pages that matter most
- Where you rank for the searches your customers actually use
- A review of your Google Business Profile and map-pack visibility
- Every broken link, dead form, or missing contact path we find
- A side-by-side look at two or three competitors in your market
- A prioritized fix list — what to do first, second, and third
- An honest read on what you can fix yourself versus what needs help
- Written notes emailed to you afterward, yours to keep
No cost and no catch. If the fix list is short, we'll tell you that too.
Who it's for
Built for the people who are already working hard enough
We work with rural and small-city businesses and organizations across Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and the surrounding states. If your website is the last thing on a very long list, this is for you.
Local business owners
You're running the business, not the website. You just want to know whether it's helping or quietly costing you calls.
Chambers & EDOs
Your site is the front door for members, prospects, and site selectors. We'll tell you what they see when they arrive.
Cities & public agencies
Residents need to find information fast, and accessibility isn't optional. We check both.
Tourism & downtown groups
Visitors decide in seconds whether your town is worth the drive. We'll show you where that decision is being lost.
Nonprofits
Donors and volunteers give up fast on a confusing site. We'll find the friction between interest and action.
Anyone with a site they inherited
Built by a relative, a former employee, or a vendor who vanished? Start with an honest inventory of what you actually have.

FAQ
Free audit questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No card, no contract, no obligation. We review your site, walk you through what we found in about 10 minutes, and send you the notes in writing. If you take that list and fix everything yourself, that's a perfectly good outcome.
Is it really only 10 minutes?
The walkthrough is. We do the review beforehand on our own time so the call isn't spent watching us click around — you get straight to the findings. If you want to keep talking after the 10 minutes, we're happy to. If you don't, we hang up.
What do you need from me?
Your website address and your business name. That's it. Everything we review is publicly visible — no logins, no admin access, nothing installed.
What if I don't have a website yet?
Then the audit looks at what people find when they search for you today — your Google Business Profile, your social pages, directory listings, and what your competitors have that you don't. That's usually the more urgent conversation anyway.
Is this just a sales pitch?
It's an honest review with a real offer at the end of it. Plenty of the sites we look at only need two or three fixes, and we say so. We'd rather be the people who told you the truth than the people who sold you a rebuild you didn't need.
Will you try to sell me a whole new website?
Only if you need one. Most sites don't — they need a speed fix, a mobile fix, a working contact form, and a Google Business Profile that isn't half empty. When a rebuild genuinely is the right call, we'll explain exactly why.
How soon will I hear back?
We reach out within one business day to schedule the walkthrough, and we get through most audits within a few days of that.
I'm a chamber, city, or nonprofit — does this apply to us?
It does, and we do a lot of this work. Chambers, EDOs, visitor bureaus, and city offices all live or die on whether people can find and use the site. The review is the same; the audience we judge it against is your members and residents.
