CLIENT AUDIT·LOCAL SERVICES·7 FINDINGS · 4 HIGH SEVERITY·CLIENT AUDIT·
Client work / Full UX & CRO audit

Their homepage was quoting Albert Einstein as a customer review.

A £329 audit for a West Midlands cleaning company. Two journeys, seven findings, four of them high severity — and not one needed a rebuild.

The business

A local cleaning company with a decent site.

Clean, mobile-responsive design and a competitive, well-laid-out price list. On the surface, nothing looked broken.

The problem

Cleaning is a high-trust purchase.

Customers are handing a stranger their house keys. Most check “who are these people?” before they call — and the site had almost nothing to answer that.

What I found // The four high-severity issues

Every one of these was a content or settings fix.

01 / TRUST

The only testimonial was a placeholder

The homepage review slider showed the theme's demo quote — attributed to Albert Einstein — three times. The Testimonials page was empty. Fix: add 3–5 real reviews from their Google profile.

02 / FIRST IMPRESSION

Service tiles still had template text

The first thing visitors read under the hero was leftover WordPress demo copy about “multi-language support”. Fix: one real sentence per service.

03 / MOBILE

No call button on a phone

The “Call” button vanished into an unlabelled menu on mobile — where most “cleaner near me” searches happen. Fix: a persistent tap-to-call button, and a proper label on the menu.

04 / CONTACT

The map showed an error to everyone

An expired map key meant every visitor to the Contact page saw “Oops! Something went wrong.” Fix: renew the key, or swap to a free embed.

Plus three smaller ones: no prices for the two services the homepage promoted hardest, a “Send Message” button that silently did nothing for many visitors, and an About page copied word for word from the homepage.

What they got

Journey scorecards · seven ranked findings with evidence · an impact-vs-effort matrix · a 30-day action plan. Five of the seven fixes could ship in a day.

An honest caveat

“Directional estimate only — no analytics or enquiry-volume data was available for this desk audit. Treat as a conversation starting point, not a guarantee.”

I won't sell you a number I can't stand behind.
