Want to get more eyes on your website without hiring a marketing agency? This checklist walks you through ten smart (and free!) things you can do to help people find you, trust you, and get in touch.

1 - Claim and optimise your Google Business Profile

Make sure your listing is verified, up to date, and full of relevant details: photos, services, FAQs, and your contact info.

Why it matters: It boosts your chances of showing up in local searches and maps.

2 - Add at least 5 photos to your Google listing

Show off your space, your work, or you in action. No studio needed, real photos build real trust.

3 - Ask for reviews (and reply to them!)

After each job or sale, ask your happy customers to leave a review. Don’t forget to reply with a genuine thank you.

4 - Make a basic content plan for social media

Think helpful tips, behind-the-scenes, testimonials, or common questions. One post a week is a great start.

5 - Post in Facebook Groups

Join local or industry specific groups. Don’t pitch, just be helpful and share your knowledge when it’s relevant.

6 - Write one helpful blog post

Answer a common question your customers ask. Keep it simple, useful, and conversational.

7 - Add a call to action on every page

Whether it’s “Get in touch,” “Download our guide,” or “Book now,” make it easy for visitors to take the next step.

8 - Fill out your social media profiles fully

Add contact links, a short bio, what you offer, and a friendly profile photo.

9 - Get listed in local directories

Try community directories, local business networks, or printed guides with a digital version. Free traffic gold.

10 - Set up a way to collect email addresses

Offer something helpful in exchange for an email. You can stay in touch with tips or offers later.

🎯 Done all 10? Amazing!

Pick 1–2 to focus on each week. Don’t try to do it all at once. Consistency beats perfection every time.

Get in Touch

Pop-ups

A popup is a small window or message box that appears over a website’s main content. It typically dims or covers part of the page to draw your attention.

Common purposes include:

  • Newsletter sign-ups: Inviting you to subscribe with your email.

  • Promotions & discounts: Highlighting special offers or coupon codes.

  • Important alerts: Showing urgent notices (e.g., cookie policies, system downtime).

  • Exit intent: Appearing when you’re about to leave, to try to keep you engaged.

Blog

Blogs are typically organized by topics or categories, making it easy for visitors to browse content and engage with the website.

A blog post is an article or entry on a blog. It usually has text (and often pictures or videos). Blogs can be used for personal storytelling, industry insights, or company news.

Newsletter Integration

This is a form on your website that enables visitors to sign up to a list within your email marketing application.

Examples:

  • Mailchimp

  • Brevo

  • Mailerlite
  • Campaign Monitor

Content Sections

This refers to sections on a page, not actual pages.

For example:

  • Hero section
  • CTA (Call to Action) section
  • Form section
  • Testimonial section etc…

The included page count is listed in the Tier Section of this page.

Meetings

We recognize that everyone’s schedule is unique, so we offer flexible options for our discovery meetings. You can choose between a Zoom video chat or a visit to your workplace, whichever is most convenient for you.

Additional Function

For this function, we may need to add a paid plugin or integrate an external service.

Landing Pages

Landing pages are focused on a single call to action (CTA) and are designed to convert visitors into leads or customers.

Sections

This includes a ‘Section‘ home page listing all the items, which then link to individual item landing pages. Similar to how a blog works.
