#2 - Make sure your homepage is geared to service first-time visitors. This means you need to focus on what the needs of these people looking for your services are. Are there types of emergencies they’d encounter? Are there types of trouble-shooting calls they’d need us for? And are there types of new equipment or installation work they’d be seeking?

#3 - Make a clear-cut call to action on your homepage for visitors to take, whether it's filling out a form or calling your toll-free number.
