The highest-converting thing a home-services site can offer, and assistants look for it.

Emergency or after-hours availability stated: not checked

We could not run the live search check today.

This is the search a homeowner actually types. Checked live against Google, mobile results, Los Angeles.

Sitemap for search engines: found

sitemap.xml found

Main heading on the homepage: found

H1 present

The page's title-on-the-page. Machines weight it heavily when deciding what you rank for.

Every page has its own title: missing

2 of the pages we read share one title — to Google they compete with each other instead of ranking separately.

Duplicate titles make pages fight each other for the same search.

Pages with enough text to rank: missing

3 of the 3 pages we read are under ~150 words (/contact/, /contact, /about) — too thin to rank for anything.

Google ranks answers. A page with two sentences is not an answer.
