Sample AI-Ready Audit: Mortgage loan officer

In plain wordsThe short version

You have strong backing from tur adipiscing el and no complaints were found against your local competitors, so the opening is there for you to win business on trust and reviews. The problem is visibility: Google Maps does not show you in the top three in any of your four towns, AI assistants never name you when people ask who to use, and you have no reviews, social profile, or website of your own yet. These gaps connect: buyers now check Maps, AI answers, and directories like Zillow before they call, and right now you are absent from most of them. The fastest fix is also the cheapest: ask piscing elit sed for sign-off to run your own Google profile and website, then start collecting reviews from past clients. From there, building out your own site and staying in touch with your roughly 300 past clients is what turns today's invisible pipeline into repeat and referral business you can see and grow.

How to read this report

Start with the story below to get the big picture in plain terms.
Check the grades to see which areas are strong and which need attention first.
Your first step is the free one: get sign-off from elit sed do eius to build your own online presence.
After that, the findings under each area are reference detail, dip into the ones that matter to you.
Where a finding says it needs your answer, that is a question for the call, not a confirmed problem.
Dollar estimates are ranges built from real numbers, not guarantees.

Your past clients: repeat and referral business worth sizing ($10,500 to $21,000 a year): depends on something only you can tell us
Buyers who ask an AI assistant for a recommendation: not priced, because AI usage has no public local volume.

Answer these and we can size the rest

How do you stay in touch with your past clients today (email, calls, a CRM, nothing regular), and how often? Unlocks: Your past clients: repeat and referral business worth sizing ($10,500 to $21,000 a year)
How many referral partners sent you at least one client in the last 12 months, and about how many clients came that way? Unlocks: Referral partners: the real estate agents who send you business
How do you track each loan from first contact to closing (a CRM, a spreadsheet, ipsum dolor sit a's system), and can you see which calls and referrals became closed loans? Unlocks: Where your pipeline and client status live
Does olor sit amet con let you run your own Google profile, website or ads, and who approves them? Unlocks: What needs t amet consectetu's OK before you do it
How many inquiries come through the website in a month? Unlocks: Website inquiries: a 3-field form, then a wait

Answer them here; the report is recalculated with your numbers.

01 · Executive summaryThis audit is about you as a loan officer in your towns, and about consectetur adipi only where it changes whether people find you.

Across seven areas we found 19 things worth discussing. The priced ones add up to $36,400 to $138,900 a year (2 lines priced, 2 waiting on your numbers). The unpriced ones may matter more. For scale, from your own numbers: one more deal a month is worth $42,000 a year (today about 6 a month). Some of the biggest levers, such as referred buyers who look you up and your past clients, cannot be priced from outside and are covered on the call. 5 of the seven areas cannot be graded from outside; they are marked provisional until you answer their questions.

This page is written for the call. Each item below is one conversation: the size of it, what it rests on, and the question that decides what to do first. Nothing here is a quote; the numbers are yours to correct on the confirmation page, and the report is redone when you do.

Priced findings, revenue per year

$36,400to$138,9002 lines, conservative to likely; 2 more waiting on your numbers

The lines overlap (a visibility win creates calls that the call line also counts) and they are revenue, not profit. Treat the total as the ceiling of what these 2 lines describe, not as money in the bank.

Graded from outside

2 of 7 areas; 5 wait on your answers. Grades are per area in section 02; there is no single whole-business grade until all seven have your inputs.

The biggest opportunities, in dollars

Conversation 1 · Sales and marketing

A website of your own, with your reviews on it

$22,900 to $100,100 a year

What would change if this number were half?

Conversation 2 · Sales and marketing

Google's map does not show you in the top three in any of the 4 towns we checked

$13,500 to $38,800 a year

Which of etur adipi, ipisci, g elit sed , ipsum would you take more work from tomorrow? That decides where the first town pages and review asks go.

Conversation 3 · Sales and marketing · not priced yet

AI assistants named you in 0 of 24 buyer questions that did not already contain your name

Which question would you most want an assistant to answer with your name?

Conversation 4 · Software · not priced yet

The website runs a platform we could not name with 0 tools visible; no business system is visible from outside

Adding up every subscription, what does the software cost a month? We compare three years of it against one owned system.

02 · Whole-business scorecardSeven areas, one honest grade each.

Scores come from what we could observe and from your answers. An area marked provisional is graded on outside evidence only and moves as soon as you answer its questions on the confirmation page.

2 of 7 areas graded from outside; 5 provisional until you answer

A: 85 and up · B: 70 · C: 55 · D: 40 · F: below 40. An area waiting on your answers is not graded yet. Each row says what moves its score. No single overall grade is given until all seven areas have your inputs.

Sales and marketing 30/100

Not in the map's top three in any of 4 towns; no assistant named you on most questions (ChatGPT 0 of 6, Claude 0 of 6, Gemini 0 of 6, Perplexity 0 of 6).

How customers find you on Google and through AI assistants, what happens when they call or fill the form, and what turns into a job. 10 findings.

Scored on: share of towns in the map top three, share of buyer questions where an assistant named the business, mobile speed, listing consistency (only what was measured counts).

Operations not graded yet

No operating system is visible from outside, and the proposal or quote is the step we cannot yet size.

Scheduling, quoting, tracking a job from intake to completion, and the handoffs in between. 4 findings.

Scored on: timing praise in reviews, inquiry form length, a scheduling tool visible, quoting method known (provisional until answered).

Customer experience 35/100

Your Google profile shows no rating yet; your own reviews were not read in this run.

Intake, communication, reviews, and repeat and referral business. 2 findings.

Scored on: rating, reply dolo, referral mentions, review velocity against the map leaders, follow-up known.

Back office not graded yet

Hours of manual intake could not be sized in this run; billing not visible from outside.

Billing, collections, bookkeeping and the hours of desk work behind every job. 0 findings.

Scored on: invoicing and bookkeeping known, hours of manual intake (provisional until answered).

Team not graded yet

How the work is shared is not visible from outside; asked on the confirmation page.

Hiring, training, and the knowledge that lives only in one person's head. 1 finding.

Scored on: share of reviews naming one person, years in business, team size and training known (provisional until answered).

Data and reporting not graded yet

The key numbers are not yet known; no record we could find ties a call to a job.

What the owner can and cannot see about the business without digging. 1 finding.

Scored on: tag manager, analytics, call tracking, a form-to-client record, close it a known.

Software not graded yet

0 website tools visible, no business system visible; spend not yet known.

Every tool the business pays for, the overlap, and what one owned system could replace. 1 finding.

Scored on: business systems visible (CRM, scheduling, reviews), spend known (provisional until answered).

03 · Findings by areaWhat we found, what it costs, and what AI could do about it.

Every finding carries its evidence. Every estimate says what it rests on and how to correct it. "What AI could do" describes a system, not a subscription: something built for consectetur that you would own.

Sales and marketing

What this means for you. This is where buyers decide whether they ever find you, on Google Maps, in AI answers, or through referrals. Strengthening it means showing up in more of the places buyers already look before they call.

high

Google's map does not show you in the top three in any of the 4 towns we checked

In plain words: Buyers in these towns search Google Maps before calling, so missing the top three is lost business you can recover.

Conservative

$13,500a year

Likely

$38,800a year

What this rests on. With the fixes working (map position 1 or 2 for every buyer term we measured, in every town you serve). Even the minimum case, reaching position 3 for the main term only, is $1,085 to $2,170 a year. Searches and map positions are measured; click and inquiry rates are published benchmarks; close tetu and deal value are yours.

Math: 270 searches a month for 7 buyer terms across 4 towns; reaching position 1 or 2 adds 32 to 47 clicks a month x 3.3% to 6.6% inquiries x 30% close x $3,500 x 12

Town by town: searches a month, your map position for "mortgage lender", and who holds the top three

Town	Searches	Ads value / mo	Your position	Top three today
dipiscing	100	$464	not in top 3	ng elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididu, m ipsum dolor, dolor sit amet conse
sit am	90	$400	not in top 3	t consectetur adip, ctetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod te, adipiscing at ing elit sed do
em ipsum do	80	$364	not in top 3	m dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do, sit amet consectetur, et consectetur adipiscing elit
ectetur	80	no price data	not in top 3	adipiscing elit , Mortgage, cing elit sed d, rem ipsum dol

What fixing this is worth, two cases

Case	Extra clicks a month	Extra deals a year	Worth a year
Minimum: map position 3 for your main search, in the towns you listed	2.6	0.3 to 0.6	$1,085 to $2,170
Google map position 1 or 2 for every buyer search, in the towns you listed	32.4 to 46.7	3.8 to 11.1	$13,472 to $38,844
Ceiling: your own Google profile at map position 1 or 2 across the counties of your listed towns (map rankings fade with distance, so this is the most it could be, not the forecast)	244.8 to 352.9	29.1 to 83.9	$101,788 to $293,488

Your own website in the regular results, positions 5 to 3, in the counties of your listed towns

55.1 to 120.4

6.5 to 28.6

$22,902 to $100,091

The forecast: the map row for your towns plus your own website across your market, together $36,400 to $138,900 a year. The minimum row is the floor and the ceiling row is the most it could be; neither is added to the forecast.

Why the last row is so much larger: the first two rows count only the towns you listed, near your office; the last counts your whole market (every county you serve). Map rankings fade with distance, so treat it as the ceiling, not the forecast.

Searches a month measured: 270 across your towns. Assumptions: map position 1 17.3%, 2 12.0%, 3 2.9% of searches (BrightLocal, Local Services Ads Click Study); 3.3% to 6.6% (Unbounce Conversion Benchmark Report, half to full).

Not priced here, and often bigger:

Buyers who ask an AI assistant for a recommendation: not priced, because AI usage has no public local volume.
Repeat and referral business from your past clients: shown on its own line as what it could be worth, and not added to the total until you tell us how you stay in touch with them today.

Sharpen this:Which towns do you actually serve, and which are most valuable? (answered)

Details and evidence

On Google Maps, pinned to each town centre, um dolor sit is not in the top three in any town measured. Those towns carry about 350 searches a month for your services (worth about $14,735 a year at Google Ads prices). Your estimated share of map-pack clicks across the area is 0.0%.

Do it yourself

Write one page per town you want work from, with real photos and a review from that town; correct your listings; ask every finished job in that town for a review.

Off the shelf

Any local-SEO agency or a listings tool will do the listings and schema part; expect a monthly fee and generic pages.

Built for you, owned by you

Town and service pages generated from your own client work and reviews, listings held in one record, and a review engine by town; one build, no monthly seat fee.

The simplest fix

Add a plain-language FAQ to each service page (services, towns, price from, timeline) and put your Google reviews on the site.

Evidence: presence/ai-answers.json (verbatim answers, dated; unchecked answers are excluded from the counts, not counted as named)

mediumneeds your answer

Calls when nobody can pick up: what happens to them

In plain words: With about 20 calls a month coming in, even a small missed-call ips can mean lost closings worth asking about.

Not priced yet. Rests on inbound calls a month (your figure: 20); share of calls that are new-job inquiries (not yet answered); close dolo on new inquiries (your figure: 30%); average job value (low to high) (your figure: $3,500 to $3,500). Correct any of these on the confirmation page and this line is recalculated.

Sharpen this:About how many calls come in a month? (answered)

Details and evidence

Published call benchmarks (measured on home-services businesses, the closest published data) put missed calls at 14% to 27%; fewer than 3% of missed callers leave a voicemail. We did not call you, so your own answer it a is not measured. You told us about 20 calls come in a month.

Do it yourself

Forward the line to a second phone when nobody is at the desk and keep a paper log of who called and when for thirty days.

Off the shelf

An answering service or a rented AI receptionist takes messages for a monthly fee; the details still get re-keyed.

Built for you, owned by you

Intake built into your own client system: calls and forms captured with what each person needs, the first appointment booked, a summary to you. Part of a larger build, not a product on its own.

Evidence: Invoca: 27% of calls to home services businesses are not answered (Invoca platform data, May 2024) (https://www.invoca.com/blog/how-much-missed-sales-calls-cost-home-services-businesses, read 2026-09-25)

Website inquiries: a 3-field form, then a wait

In plain words: This form sits on consectetur adip's site, so pass reply-speed questions to their marketing team, not yours to fix.

Not priced yet. No conservative figure, because we did not measure your reply time; the likely figure assumes the HBR average reply behaviour applies to you. Rests on website inquiries a month (not yet answered); close tetu on new inquiries (your figure: 30%); average job value (low to high) (your figure: $3,500 to $3,500). Correct any of these on the confirmation page and this line is recalculated.

Sharpen this:How many inquiries come through the website in a month?

Details and evidence

This is on dipiscing elit se's website, which you do not control: pass it to their marketing team. The longest inquiry form on the site asks for 3 fields, on a home page that takes 2.2 s to show its main image on a phone (Google's bar is 2.5 s). Of 2,241 US companies audited by Harvard Business Review, 37% replied to a web inquiry within an hour and 23% never replied. We did not test your reply time (no form was submitted).

Do it yourself

Reply from your phone within the hour for a week; count what changes.

Off the shelf

A forms tool with auto-reply sends a thank-you; it does not book anything or follow up.

Built for you, owned by you

A form that replies with next steps and a booking slot, and a follow-up sequence that runs until the customer answers or says no.

Evidence: inventory.json form fields; technical/lh_home_mobile.json; Harvard Business Review, The Short Life of Online Sales Leads (Oldroyd, McElheran, Elkington), read from a copy of the article: Of 2,241 US companies sent a web lead, 37% responded within an hour, 23% never responded, and the average response among responders was 42 hours; firms that responded within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify the lead (Harvard Business Review, March 2011) (https://thedenmangroupselling.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/the-short-life-of-online-sales-leads-harvard-business-review.pdf, read 2026-09-25)

Where your buyers look: 7 places checked, you are on 2

In plain words: You are missing from Zillow's lender directory, a place many buyers compare loan officers before choosing one.

Every place we checked, and how you show up there

Where	Matters	You there?	Note
Zillow Lender Profiles	high	no	no profile found under your name
FastExpert loan officer directory	medium	no	no profile found under your name
LinkedIn	medium	no	no profile found under your name
Nextdoor	medium	yes	Does not name ng elit sed do ei: likely a profile from a previous company.
NMLS Consumer Access	low	no	no profile found under your name

Details and evidence

Buyer is usually referred by a real estate agent, friend, or past client, or finds a lender while pre-shopping rates online (Zillow/Google/Bankrate) before or during a home search; they then compare 2-3 loan officers on m ip, responsiveness, and trust before locking in one to run the full application through closing. Before judging anything, we researched where buyers of a loan officer actually look and compare, then checked each place for you by name. Not found where it matters: Zillow Lender Profiles. Found: Nextdoor.

One record of who you are, kept current on every place your buyers look, with your reviews shown where they compare.

context

You sell under adipiscing elit 's name, so this audit separates what is yours from what is theirs

In plain words: Because the website belongs to cing elit sed do , your real leverage is your own name, your reviews, and your referral relationships.

Details and evidence

You are a loan officer at rem ipsum dolor s, and the website you gave us (um dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut) is your page on the company's site. r sit amet consec owns that site and the brand, so website fixes in this report are marked for met consectetur a's marketing team. What you control is your own reach: whether people searching for a loan officer in your towns find you by name, your reviews, your Google profile, your past clients and the people who refer business to you. That is where this report spends its time. Mortgage advertising is regulated, so most lenders require marketing or compliance approval for a personal website, ads and some social posts, and anything public must show your NMLS ID and the company's. Google sometimes suspends a personal profile for someone who works out of a company office, so it must follow Google's rules for individual practitioners. Work with referral partners stays inside RESPA Section 8: nothing of value is given or shared in exchange for referrals, and any co-marketing splits costs at fair value with your company's approval.

Referral partners: the real estate agents who send you business

In plain words: Tracking which agents sent you clients this year would show you exactly where to invest relationship time.

Sharpen this:How many referral partners sent you at least one client in the last 12 months, and about how many clients came that way?

Details and evidence

For a loan officer, a large share of new business usually comes from people who are already in front of the customer first: real estate agents, builders and financial planners. That pipeline is invisible from outside, so we cannot size it. Two numbers would: how many partners sent you at least one client in the last 12 months, and how many clients came that way.

What would change it

A partner list with the last time you spoke to each one, a monthly update that goes out on its own (market notes, your recent wins), and a heads-up to the partner when their client reaches each step with you.

Evidence: Not observable from public data; discovery.json growth levers (research); discovery.json peer playbook (research)

high

A website of your own, with your reviews on it

In plain words: A website in your own name could capture buyers researching months before they choose a lender, worth real yearly revenue.

Conservative

$22,900a year

Likely

$100,100a year

What this rests on. Your own site in the regular Google results (positions 5 to 3, never assumed to be 1) for the buyer searches across your market: 2,040 a month in sectetur adipiscing elit sed do. That count is exact phrases only, so it is a floor. Close r ad and deal value are yours.

Details and evidence

Today the only page about you is your profile on scing elit sed do's site, which you do not control and which cannot answer buyers' questions in your voice. A site of your own earns business in three ways the map number above does not count: referred buyers who look you up land on your reviews instead of a generic company page; people still researching find you months before they pick a loan officer (for example "how much house can i afford" (2,400 a month in MA), "current mortgage rates today" (50 a month in MA), "how does refinancing work" (40 a month in MA)); and AI assistants have a page of yours to read and recommend. It also stays yours if you ever change companies. It needs orem ipsum dolor 's approval and must carry your NMLS number and theirs.

Not priced here, and often bigger:

Referred buyers who look you up: the biggest effect, not measurable from outside.
Research searches: measured statewide only; how much of it a new site wins depends on content and time, so it is not priced.

What would change it

A small site in your name that shows your reviews, answers the questions your buyers search for, and sends every inquiry straight to you.

Evidence: discovery.json (research terms with statewide Google volume; your current profile page)

Operations

needs your answers

What this means for you. This covers how smoothly an inquiry moves from first contact to a closed loan behind the scenes. Much of that process runs inside systems we cannot see, which is why this report asks rather than assumes.

What customers complain about at the competitors on your map

In plain words: No complaints turned up against your competitors, so standing out has to come from your own visible reviews and reputation.

Details and evidence

No stated complaints in the 54 competitor reviews read. We could not read your own Google reviews in this run to compare. Where a competitor's customers complain about something you do well, that can be a selling line for your quotes and your website.

What would change it

Quote follow-ups and web copy that lead with the things competitors get wrong and that your reviews prove you get right.

Evidence: 54 competitor Google reviews judged one by one

Where your pipeline and client status live

In plain words: Knowing which calls and referrals became closed loans would let every estimate in this report use your real numbers.

Sharpen this:How do you track each loan from first contact to closing (a CRM, a spreadsheet, sum dolor sit ame's system), and can you see which calls and referrals became closed loans?

Details and evidence

This usually lives inside or sit amet conse's own systems or your CRM, which no outside check can see, so we ask instead of guessing. If you can tell which calls, referrals and web inquiries became closed loans, the rest of this report can be priced with your real numbers.

The simplest fix

A whiteboard with one row per client and columns for each stage (inquiry, scheduled, quoted, in progress, complete) is a real system.

Evidence: Home page source (signals.json); Home page source; intake basis labels

Worth asking: Zillow lender reviews profile

In plain words: Being listed on Zillow with reviews is standard for strong loan officers, worth confirming you have this set up.

Sharpen this:Do you have this today: Zillow lender reviews profile?

Details and evidence

Zillow is a primary shopping surface for home buyers already comparing lenders by star rating and closed-loan reviews. Top performers in your field usually have this; we could not confirm whether you do.

Evidence: discovery.json peer playbook (research)

Worth asking: LinkedIn presence with recommendations/testimonials

In plain words: A LinkedIn page with recommendations helps agents vet you quickly, worth confirming yours is active and current.

Sharpen this:Do you have this today: LinkedIn presence with recommendations/testimonials?

Details and evidence

Used by agents and repeat clients to vet credibility and share referrals. Top performers in your field usually have this; we could not confirm whether you do.

Evidence: discovery.json peer playbook (research)

Customer experience

What this means for you. This is about how people experience working with you, and whether their reviews build trust for the next buyer. It also covers how well you stay in touch with clients after closing.

Review volume and recency are what the map weighs

In plain words: No new reviews in 90 days signals inactivity to Google, which hurts your map ranking on top of everything else.

Sharpen this:After a job, do you ask for a review, send a thank-you, or check in later? How?

Details and evidence

New reviews in the last 90 days: 0 against a best of 5.; Google photos: 1 against a best of 18. Google ranks the map on volume and recency as much as on the star figure.

Your past clients: repeat and referral business worth sizing

In plain words: Your roughly 300 past clients are a ready source of repeat business and referrals if you reach out regularly.

Conservative

$10,500a year

Likely

$21,000a year

What this rests on. Rests on past clients you have contact details for (your figure: 300); average job value (low to high) (your figure: $3,500 to $3,500). Correct any of these on the confirmation page and this line is recalculated. Reactivation lor is a low placeholder (2%) with no published benchmark.

Math: 300.0 past clients x 2.0% rebook x $3,500 to $3,500 (conservative takes half the ame)

Sharpen this:How do you stay in touch with your past clients today (email, calls, a CRM, nothing regular), and how often?

Details and evidence

These are your clients, whichever company you work for. How you stay in touch with them is not visible from outside (it usually lives in a CRM or your own email), so we do not assume it is missing. If they are not hearing from you a few times a year, the figure below is what that is typically worth. Every past customer is a candidate for repeat work or a referral. No email or text-marketing tool shows up in the website's source. If you already run a mailing or a call-round, tell us on the confirmation page and this line is removed.

Do it yourself

Export contacts from your email or phone, pick fifty past clients, and send a short check-in offer.

What needs tur adipiscing el's OK before you do it

In plain words: Get written sign-off from piscing elit sed first, since a personal website, ads, and some posts need compliance approval.

Sharpen this:Does elit sed do eius let you run your own Google profile, website or ads, and who approves them?

Details and evidence

Mortgage advertising is regulated, so most lenders require marketing or compliance approval for a personal website, ads and some social posts, and anything public must show your NMLS ID and the company's. Google sometimes suspends a personal profile for someone who works out of a company office, so it must follow Google's rules for individual practitioners. Work with referral partners stays inside RESPA Section 8: nothing of value is given or shared in exchange for referrals, and any co-marketing splits costs at fair value with your company's approval. In this report, items you can do yourself today: asking past clients for reviews, LinkedIn, following up with your past-client list, staying in touch with referral partners. Items that usually need approval: a Google Business Profile in your name, a personal website or landing page, paid ads, and anything that uses the ipsum dolor sit a name or logo. Items that are olor sit amet con's job: changes to the company website.

Evidence: General industry practice; your company's own policy governs

Data and reporting

What this means for you. This is about whether you know which calls, referrals and web visits actually turn into closed loans. Having that answer would let every estimate in this report use your real numbers instead of benchmarks.

When not to hire us

If you already answer more than nine calls in ten and reply to every inquiry within the hour, the intake build is not for you; the call and follow-up lines drop to near zero and we would say so on the call.
If the past-customer list is under two hundred names, run the reactivation yourself from your email; a build does not pay back at that size.
If the owner plans to stay the only person who sells and does the work, the client pipeline is a whiteboard, not software.
If revenue is under about $500,000 a year, do the quick wins and the fix sheet first; a $10,000 system is the wrong order.

The next step is a 20-minute call with Brandon to walk through this report, plus a short personal video. Before the call, the two most useful things you can do are the quick wins above and the confirmation page, which takes about five minutes and replaces our estimates with your numbers. Questions to support@colabcontent.com.

Appendix A · Do it yourselfThe fix sheet for your own web or tech person.

8 ranked fixes, each found by this audit's own checks and each naming the file it came from, with who does it, how long it takes, the steps, and how to confirm it worked. Offered, not pushed: the same list is what the $2,997 package does for you in 14 days.

1Town pages for t consecte, ctetur, adipiscing , ing eli · Visibility

Google's map does not show you in the top three for your main service in 4 of the towns measured. A page per town, with real work from that town, is the usual first step. (Evidence: local-demand.json.)

Who: Web person plus the owner (for photos and a local line per town) · Time: 1 to 3 days

List the towns you really serve, starting with the ones closest to your base.
Change the home page title and main headline to name your home town and service (for example '<Your Service> in <Home Town>, <State>').
Add a 'Towns we serve' block to the site footer listing every town, each linking to its page.
Create one page per town at /<service>/<town>-<state>/ with a unique title, a paragraph about clients served there, real photos tied to that town, and your phone number as a tap-to-call link.
Link each town page from the home page and from each service page.

Confirm it worked: Search Google for site:<yourdomain> <town> and see the new page listed within 2 to 4 weeks. Open each town page on a phone and check the phone number is tappable.

2Put the reviews on the site and ask every finished job for one · Reputation

New reviews in the last 90 days: 0 against a best of 5. Google photos: 1 against a best of 18. (Evidence: benchmark.json.)

Who: Web person · Time: 2 to 3 hours

Add a reviews section high on the home page with 3 to 6 real Google reviews (name initial, date, text) and your star rating and review count.
Link the section to your Google profile so visitors can see all of them.
Add a photo of the owner or team next to the reviews that mention them by name.
Link every review profile (Google, Yelp, BBB, Houzz, Facebook) in the footer.

Confirm it worked: The rating and count on the site match your Google profile today. Every review link opens the right profile.

3Add LocalBusiness structured data (schema) to the home page · AI and search

The home page carries these schema types: BreadcrumbList, ListItem; none of them tells Google and the assistants the business name, address, phone, hours and service area in one block. (Evidence: inventory.json.)

Who: Web person · Time: 2 to 4 hours

Install a schema plugin or add a JSON-LD block to the site header (on WordPress, a plugin such as Rank Math or Yoast; on other platforms, a code block in the page header).
Add a LocalBusiness block (use the most specific type, for example HomeAndConstructionBusiness) with name, phone, URL, areaServed (list the towns), openingHours and sameAs links to Google, Yelp, BBB, Houzz and Facebook.
Add a Service block on each service page and FAQPage on pages that have questions and answers.
Do not mark up reviews you do not show on the page.

Confirm it worked: Paste a page URL into Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) and check LocalBusiness is detected with no errors. Validate with validator.schema.org.

4Install call and form tracking · Measurement

No call-tracking or form-tracking tool appears in the home page source, so nobody can say which calls and forms came from which source. (Evidence: technical/homepage_raw.html.)

Who: Web person plus a call-tracking account · Time: Half a day

Get a local call-tracking number that forwards to your main phone and records the source.
Use it on the website only; keep your main number on listings so your name, address and phone stay consistent.
Send every website form to one inbox and one customer list (a CRM or a spreadsheet), with a copy to the owner's phone.
Set up a goal in your analytics for form submissions and phone-link taps.

Confirm it worked: Call the tracking number from a mobile and check it rings and is logged. Submit the form yourself once and check it arrives in both places.

5Set up SPF and DMARC email authentication · Trust

The domain's DNS shows no DMARC record. Without them, mail from your domain is easier to fake and more likely to land in spam. (Evidence: technical/dns_raw.txt.)

Who: Whoever manages the domain's DNS and email · Time: 30 to 60 minutes

In your email provider's admin (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), generate a DKIM key and publish the TXT record it gives you at your DNS host, then turn DKIM on.
Check there is exactly one SPF record that includes your email provider.
Add a DMARC TXT record at _dmarc.yourdomain with 'v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:<your address>'.
After two to four weeks of clean reports, change p=none to p=quarantine.

Confirm it worked: Send an email to a Gmail address, open it, choose 'Show original', and check SPF, DKIM and DMARC all say PASS.

6Add FAQ blocks and an llms.txt file · AI and search

There is no /llms.txt and the assistants have no plain question-and-answer page to quote about your services, towns and prices. (Evidence: technical/technical.json.)

Who: Web person · Time: Half a day

Add 4 to 6 real customer questions with short direct answers to each service page.
Mark them up as FAQPage (see the schema fix).
Add an /llms.txt file listing your main pages with one line each on what they cover.
Make sure each page uses main, header, footer and article elements.

Confirm it worked: yourdomain/llms.txt loads in a browser. Rich Results Test detects the FAQ on a service page.

7Shorten 8 page titles to under 60 characters · Search

8 of the 25 page titles crawled run past 60 characters and get cut off in results. (Evidence: inventory.json.)

Who: Web person · Time: 1 day for about 100 pages

Export every page's title and description (an SEO plugin or a crawler such as Screaming Frog, free up to 500 URLs).
Write a title under 60 characters: main keyword first, town where relevant, brand last.
Write a description of 140 to 160 characters that says what the page offers and ends with a reason to call.
Paste them into the SEO plugin fields page by page.

Confirm it worked: Re-crawl: zero pages without a description, zero titles over 60 characters. Search site:yourdomain in Google after two weeks and read your results.

8Add the 6 missing security headers · Trust

The home page response lacks: strict-transport-security, content-security-policy, x-frame-options, x-content-type-options, referrer-policy, permissions-policy. (Evidence: technical/technical.json.)

Who: Web person or host · Time: 1 to 2 hours

Add these response headers at the host or with a security plugin: Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN, Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin, Permissions-Policy.
Hide the software version (remove the generator tag).
Limit login attempts and turn on two-factor login for every admin.

Confirm it worked: Check the site at securityheaders.com; aim for an A. Try five wrong passwords on a test account and check you are locked out.
