Your website is

The Problem

Three reasons your site isn't working for you.

01 / 03

It loads too slowly.

53% of mobile visitors leave if a page takes more than 3 seconds to load. A slow site kills rankings and drives customers straight to your competitors.

02 / 03

It's invisible on Google.

If you're not on page one, you're not in the game. Most sites have fixable SEO errors that nobody's flagged — costing you traffic every single day.

03 / 03

It doesn't convert visitors.

Getting traffic is only half the job. If your site doesn't guide people towards calling, booking, or buying — it's an expensive brochure. Nothing more.

How It Works

Three steps. No complications.

Step 01

Submit Your Site

Enter your URL and email address above. Takes under a minute. We handle everything from there.

Step 02

We Audit It

We review your site across six key areas and send a plain-English report within 48 hours. No jargon.

Step 03

We Fix It

If you want us to resolve what we find, we quote you fairly. No locked-in contracts. No inflated fees.

What We Check

Six areas. Zero fluff.

Page Speed

Core Web Vitals, load times, image optimisation — we score your site and flag every bottleneck.

SEO Health

Meta tags, heading structure, indexing, local SEO signals — we find what Google can't see.

Design & UX

Visual hierarchy, trust signals, navigation clarity — we assess whether visitors know what to do next.

Copy & Messaging

Is your offer clear within five seconds of landing? We check headlines, CTAs, and overall clarity.

Mobile Experience

Over 60% of traffic is mobile. We test on real sizes and flag broken layouts and unclickable elements.

Conversion Paths

Forms, CTAs, contact pages — we check whether your site makes it easy to become a customer.

Example Audits

The problems we look for.
And how we'd fix them.

These are example audit scenarios showing how Abel & Co. approaches common website problems across different types of businesses. They are not client projects or claimed results.

01 / 03

Trades & Home Services

Local Plumbing Business

Concept Audit

What We Found

  • No clear action above the fold. Visitors can see what the business does, but aren't immediately guided towards calling or requesting a quote.
  • Too many competing services. Every service has equal visual weight, making it difficult to understand which problems the company specialises in.
  • Weak local search signals. Service areas aren't clearly communicated and location-focused copy is limited.
  • Mobile contact journey takes too long. Phone numbers and enquiry actions are buried further down the page.

What We'd Change

  • Build the hero around one primary action. Make “Request a Quote” or “Call Now” the obvious next step.
  • Prioritise high-value services. Group secondary services and lead with the work customers most commonly search for.
  • Strengthen local SEO structure. Add clear service-area content, location signals and properly structured service headings.
  • Improve mobile conversion paths. Keep contact actions visible and reduce the number of taps needed to make an enquiry.

Primary Goal

Turn mobile visitors into calls and quote requests faster.

02 / 03

Hospitality

Independent Restaurant

Concept Audit

What We Found

  • Booking information isn't prominent enough. Customers need to search the page before finding how to reserve a table.
  • Menus are difficult to access on mobile. PDF menus or small links create unnecessary friction for visitors.
  • Opening hours and location lack visibility. Essential visit information sits too far down the page.
  • The homepage doesn't sell the experience. The messaging describes the restaurant but gives little reason to choose it over nearby alternatives.

What We'd Change

  • Make booking the primary CTA. Put a clear reservation action in the hero and navigation.
  • Replace awkward menu journeys. Present menus in a mobile-friendly format that's quick to browse.
  • Surface essential visit details earlier. Show opening hours, location and contact information without forcing users to hunt for them.
  • Rewrite the homepage around the experience. Communicate atmosphere, food style and what makes the venue worth choosing.

Primary Goal

Reduce friction between discovering the restaurant and making a booking.

03 / 03

Professional Services

Independent Accountancy Firm

Concept Audit

What We Found

  • The messaging is too generic. Phrases such as “professional advice” and “tailored solutions” don't explain why a prospect should choose this firm.
  • Services are listed without context. Visitors see what the firm offers but not who each service is for or what problem it solves.
  • Trust signals appear too late. Qualifications, experience and credibility aren't established early enough in the journey.
  • The enquiry process feels high-commitment. Generic “Contact Us” messaging gives prospects little idea what happens after they get in touch.

What We'd Change

  • Sharpen the positioning. Explain exactly who the firm helps and the financial problems it is best placed to solve.
  • Turn services into customer outcomes. Connect each service to the business need behind it.
  • Move credibility higher up the page. Surface qualifications, experience and relevant trust indicators near the main proposition.
  • Lower the barrier to enquiry. Replace vague contact prompts with a clear, low-pressure consultation or callback offer.

Primary Goal

Make the firm easier to trust, understand and contact.
