THE BRIEF
We pay for Google ads that send people to our landing page, but very few call. Can you tear it down and tell us what to fix? We want phone calls, not form fills.
Scenario: Owner of a garage door repair company getting traffic from Google ads
Package: Landing page teardown and fixes · $45 · 4 hrs
Your page has one job: get the call. Right now the phone number is the 9th thing on the page. Everything else moved down or out.
WHAT I SAW ON A CRACKED OLD PHONE
I opened your page on a 6-year-old phone with a cracked screen, on a slow connection, the way a lot of people with a broken garage door are seeing it at 7 a.m.
- 6.2 seconds before anything showed up.
- A slider with 4 images. The first one says "Welcome."
- The phone number is below the slider, the "About us" section and a form.
- The form asks for 7 things.
THE FIXES, IN ORDER
- Phone number at the top, as a tap-to-call button: "Call now: (555) 0161." Above everything, including the logo on mobile.
- Delete the slider. One photo of a technician at a garage door, and one line: "Same-day garage door repair. Most jobs fixed in one visit."
- Price range right under the headline: "Spring replacement from $189." People with a broken door want to know if it's $200 or $2,000.
- Three trust lines, not a paragraph: "Licensed and insured · 4.8 stars, 620 reviews · 1-year warranty on parts."
- Cut the form to 3 fields: name, phone, what's wrong. Move it below the call button.
- Compress the images. Your 4 slider images were 9 MB together. One photo at 180 KB does the job.
- Same phone number in the page footer, as a button.
WHAT I MOVED DOWN OR OUT
- "About us" moved to the bottom.
- The blog links and the newsletter signup: gone from this page.
- The menu: hidden on mobile. Nobody needs it on an ad page.

AFTER THE CHANGES
I rebuilt it in a test copy. Load time on the same phone: 1.8 seconds.
Paste it in, then send me the link. — Sam
