5 things quietly costing you customers online
Most local businesses are losing customers online without realising it. Here are the five we see most often — and they're all fixable.
- A slow site, or one that's awkward on a phone. Over half your visitors are on mobile; if it's fiddly, they leave.
- No clear way to contact you. If your number isn't one tap to call, you're losing the impatient ones.
- Thin or no Google reviews next to competitors with plenty.
- A dead social account. An empty or stale feed makes people wonder if you're still trading.
- Not showing up when people search your service plus your suburb.
The good news
None of these need a big budget to fix. Most are a weekend's work or a quick project, and each one directly wins back customers you're currently handing to the competition.
The takeaway
Fix your mobile experience, make yourself one tap to contact, build reviews, keep socials alive, and show up for local searches. Small changes, real customers.
