# What a customer actually looks for on a service company website.

A customer does not visit your site to admire the design. They arrive with a problem and, in the first minute, ask themselves five questions. If the site answers them - they call. If not - they leave.

Business owners often think about their site in terms of "nice / not nice". The customer thinks completely differently. They arrive with a specific problem and look for one thing: confirmation that they have come to the right place.

In the first minute, five questions run through their head. A good service website answers them one by one - before the customer even asks.

## 1. "Do you understand my problem?"

The customer is not looking for a company, they are looking for a solution to their trouble. A site that opens with "we are a dynamically growing company" talks about you. A site that opens with their problem talks to them. **The second one wins.**

## 2. "Do you do exactly what I need?"

Vague language breeds doubt. If the customer is looking for "air conditioning installation in a flat" and you write about "comprehensive HVAC services", they cannot be sure it is about them. List specific services, by name - the way the customer thinks of them.

## 3. "Roughly how much does it cost?"

No price information at all is the most common reason a customer never asks - they fear that "no price probably means expensive". You do not have to publish a price list to the penny. A range, a "from", or an example is enough: *"a typical project is X-Y"*. You give the customer something to hold on to.

## 4. "Can I trust you?"

A customer who does not know you looks for proof: reviews, photos of your work, the team's faces, concrete numbers. One real review with a name weighs more than a paragraph about "the highest quality". Show that there are people and results behind the company.

## 5. "What do I do now?"

A customer ready to get in touch needs a clear next step. One visible button - "Message us", "Book a call", "Request a quote" - and a note on what happens next. Uncertainty about "what now?" kills more enquiries than price does.

> A customer is not judging your website. They are judging whether it is worth trusting you enough to give you their phone number.

## Where to start

Read your homepage as if you were a customer with a problem, and check how many of these five questions it answers in the first screen. Usually what is missing is the price or a clear next step.
