The roast
Selling websites to invisible businesses while being invisible yourself—bold strategy.

Clear value prop and decent service packaging, but zero hard proof, no lead capture form, and a Gmail address screaming 'I don't eat my own dog food.' You're leaving 40% of inbound on the table.

What works

  • Crystal clear ICP targeting
    H1 'We Build Websites For Local Businesses That Are Invisible Online' is specific, problem-aware, and speaks directly to the pain. No jargon, no fluff. Visitor knows in 3 seconds if this is for them.
  • Smart service unbundling with transparent pricing
    $1,000 website + $299/mo blog + $30–50 hosting is refreshingly honest. Most agencies hide pricing like it's a state secret. This builds trust and pre-qualifies budget fit before the call.
  • Low-friction preview offer
    'Get Your Free Website Preview' is a smart pre-commitment mechanism. Lets prospects see the work before paying, which lowers perceived risk for skeptical local business owners.
  • Testimonials with names and verticals
    Mike R. Charter Fishing Captain, Sarah T. Salon Owner—these feel real because they're specific. Not just 'John D.' Generic testimonials are worthless; these pass the sniff test.

What's costing you money

  • No lead capture form anywhere on the page
    high
    Six CTA buttons all say 'Get Your Free Website Preview' but there's zero visible form in the HTML. Either the form is buried behind a click (friction) or it's JS-rendered and didn't load in the scrape. Either way, you're losing leads who won't click through.
  • Gmail address on a web design agency site
    high
    [email protected] is the digital equivalent of a plumber showing up in a rusted van. You sell professional websites but don't have a professional email domain. Instant credibility hit for anyone paying attention.
  • Zero portfolio, case studies, or before/after examples
    high
    You promise to make businesses visible but show no proof you've done it. No screenshots, no traffic numbers, no 'we ranked X business for Y keyword.' Testimonials are good; portfolio is mandatory for a design agency.
  • Vague results in testimonials
    medium
    'customers actually tell me they found me on Google now' and 'my site keeps climbing on Google' are feel-good but not proof. No rankings, no traffic %, no revenue lift. Specificity sells.
  • No clear next step after the preview
    medium
    What happens after someone gets the preview? Do they book a call? Sign a contract? Pay a deposit? The funnel ends at 'if you love it, we launch it'—but HOW? Ambiguity kills conversions.
  • Missing OG image
    low
    When this link gets shared on LinkedIn or Facebook, it shows up as a blank card. You're in the business of making businesses look good online—your own social share should be dialed.

Exact fixes

  1. 1
    Embed the lead form directly on the homepage above the fold
    high impact
    Replace one of the six redundant CTA buttons with a visible 3-field form (Name, Phone, Business Type). Reduce friction by 80%. If the form is JS-gated, inline it so it's scrapable and indexable. Test: Unbounce/Webflow inline forms convert 2–3x better than click-through.
  2. 2
    Add a 3-site portfolio section with before/after screenshots and one metric per case
    high impact
    'Destin Charters: Ranked #1 for 'deep sea fishing Destin' in 90 days, 40% more bookings.' Show the work. Even if you only have 3 clients, that's 3x more proof than you have now. Host images on the domain, not externally.
  3. 3
    Replace Gmail with a branded domain email ([email protected])
    medium impact
    Takes 10 minutes in Google Workspace or Zoho Mail. Costs $6/mo. Instantly makes you look like you practice what you preach. This is table stakes for a web agency.
  4. 4
    Rewrite testimonials to include one hard number each
    medium impact
    'Mike R. went from zero Google presence to 12 inbound calls in the first month.' 'Sarah T.'s site now ranks on page 1 for 'salon Miramar Beach' and gets 200 visits/mo.' Specificity = credibility.
  5. 5
    Add a 2-sentence explainer of what happens after the preview
    medium impact
    'Love your preview? Book a 15-min call to finalize details, pay the $1,000 setup fee, and we'll have your site live in 7–10 days.' Clarity removes hesitation. Spell out the path.
