What most owners never see

## The hidden issues costing local businesses customers

Most website problems stay hidden from the owner until a customer complains, or quietly goes to a competitor instead.

### Leads lost in silence

Contact forms and tap-to-call buttons that quietly stop working after an update. Nobody tells you; they just call someone else.

### Overpaying for hosting

Paying $30 to $100 or more a month for slow, outdated hosting, when a custom website speed optimization service can move your site to fast, modern cloud hosting for a fraction of that cost.

### Missing from AI answers

What ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews tell people about your business, if they mention you at all, and whether your site has the structured data that AI search engine optimization and discovery depend on.

### Security and reputation risks

Expired security certificates, outdated plugins, and missing backups that leave your site open to malware and downtime.

What I uncover

## Five areas, checked by hand

This isn’t an automated scan with your logo slapped on it. As a local web developer, I examine your site the way your customers, Google, and AI assistants do, testing the exact bottlenecks that affect local lead generation.

### Performance & mobile

Load speed, Core Web Vitals optimization opportunities, and how every key page looks and works on phones and tablets.

### Lead flow & forms

Contact forms, quote and booking links, and tap-to-call numbers, actually tested by hand.

### Security & health

Security certificates, software and plugin updates, spam exposure, and whether backups exist and work.

### Search & AI visibility

Page titles, meta descriptions, your Google Business Profile, and your [schema markup (JSON-LD) implementation](https://rmartincreative.com/extras/schema-markup-json-ld-seo-ai#what-schema-markup-actually-is), so search engines and AI models understand your services accurately.

### Hosting & costs

Your domain, email, and hosting setup, including hidden fees and anything you're paying for that you don't need.

### You get the full report

Every suggested edit, change, and explanation, listed in priority order, with an honest assessment of whether you need a few local website updates and fixes, or whether a complete site rebuild makes more sense.

Common questions

### Is the health check really free?

Yes, completely. There's nothing to buy, book, or sign up for, and no pushy sales calls or follow-up pressure afterward. You get the full report with all suggested edits, changes, and explanations. What you do with it is entirely up to you.

### What do I get at the end?

A full written report in plain English: what's working, what's at risk, and every suggested fix explained in priority order, with a recommendation on whether [website updates](https://rmartincreative.com/services/website-design-development/website-updates) or a [full overhaul](https://rmartincreative.com/services/website-design-development/website-overhaul) makes more sense.

### What do you need from me to get started?

Just your website address. I'll take it from there.

### Do you need my passwords or admin access?

No. Everything is checked from the outside, the way a visitor, search engine, or AI assistant sees your site. If you'd like a deeper look at hosting or backups later, we can talk about access then.

### What platforms do you check?

Any of them: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, GoDaddy and other site builders, or a custom-built site. Just send your website address.

### How long does it take?

Most health checks are completed and sent back within a few business days.
