Decisions we need from you

Summary

The foundation is solid. Nine service pages, seven industry pages and an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube are already in place, and the existing news content is indexed and worth keeping. What follows is 35 specific actions across search visibility, content, page speed, design and the platform itself, each one tied to why it actually matters, either for how search engines and AI platforms read the site, or for how easily a visitor turns into an enquiry.

How to read this documentSections 04 to 08 cover the full list, organised by area, each item badged by priority. Section 03 looks at the enquiry path the site should be built around. Section 09 sets out the two decisions we need before work begins, plus the complete action ledger.

Priority fixes

The five Critical items across every category. If nothing else moves forward straight away, these are the ones actively working against the site right now.

01

Fix duplicate H1 tags

Two H1s per page splits the heading signal Google uses to identify what the page is about, on both the homepage and the contact page.

From: SEO
02

Add a dedicated email delivery service

Without one, form submissions sent through standard hosting mail can land in spam or fail to arrive at all.

From: Platform & Plugins
03

Larger phone and menu icons on mobile

Undersized tap targets are a mobile usability fault Google's mobile-first index accounts for directly.

From: Design & UX
04

Rebuild the contact page layout

The contact page is the last step before an enquiry. A layout that's hard to use on mobile costs completed enquiries.

From: Design & UX
05

Reprioritise the main menu order

Menu order signals importance to visitors scanning quickly and to search engines crawling internal links.

From: Design & UX

Enquiries & CTAs

How clearly the site points toward a phone call or a contact form changes how nearly everything else gets designed, from the header down to the footer. Before any of that gets built, we need one clear answer: calls or contact form?

Why this decision comes first

A site trying to drive both equally usually drives neither well. Visitors respond better to a single, obvious next step than to a menu of options competing for attention, and design decisions from here, header layout, button placement, the contact page itself, all follow from knowing which one that step is.

If calls lead

The number becomes the priority

The phone number becomes the dominant, hard-to-miss element in the header, with a tap-to-call button prominent on mobile. Supporting content is built to move a visitor toward picking up the phone rather than filling out a form.

If the form leads

The form becomes the priority

The form itself, and the path to it, becomes the focus: fewer steps, clear placement on every page, and a contact page built to convert rather than just to inform.

Where this gets decidedThis is confirmed in "What we need from you" section in the action plan.

SEO

How the site is read by Google, and increasingly by the AI platforms people are starting to search through instead.

Critical

Fix duplicate H1 tags

Search engines use the H1 to identify a page's primary topic. Two H1 tags on the homepage and contact page split that signal and weaken relevance for the main keyword each page is meant to rank for.

High

Noindex Tags and Author archives

These archive pages carry no unique content of their own. Leaving them indexable spreads crawl attention across pages Google would rather ignore, ahead of the pages that should actually rank.

High

Rankings and keyword audit

Establishes exactly what the site currently ranks for and where the gaps are against the terms people actually search, so every other change here is targeted rather than guessed at.

High

Fix heading structure on internal pages

Search engines, and increasingly AI answer engines, read heading tags as a content outline. Inconsistent structure makes it harder for either to understand what a page is actually about.

High

Rewrite meta descriptions, titles and keywords

This is what search engines display in results, and often what AI tools pull first when summarising a page. Sharper, keyword-aligned copy improves both click-through and how accurately AI represents the business.

High

Yoast settings review, including llms.txt

A full technical SEO settings review, plus adding an llms.txt file, a standard that tells AI crawlers what they're allowed to read and index on the site as AI-driven search grows.

Moderate

Alt tags across the site

Alt text is how search engines and screen readers understand an image. Every untagged photo or icon is content that's invisible to image search and accessibility tools alike.

Moderate

Content optimisation and internal linking

Longer, more thorough page content with correct heading hierarchy and more internal links gives search engines more to index and more reasons to rank a page for a wider set of terms.

Content

What's actually on the page. Five additions that give the site more to rank for and more reasons for a visitor to stay on it.

High

Add a Careers page

Gives the practice a page that can legitimately rank for jobs and careers searches, and signals a growing business to visitors and search engines alike.

High

Rebuild the News page layout

Splitting the page into a quick-update block, a live social feed and existing posts underneath keeps the page fresh in Google's eyes without disturbing posts that are already indexed and ranking.

High

Redesign individual news posts

Links through to related articles keep both visitors and crawlers moving through the site rather than leaving after one page. Dropping the visible date stops older, still-relevant posts from reading as stale.

High

Build out FAQs

FAQ content is one of the clearest ways to earn a featured snippet in Google, and structured question and answer content is exactly the format AI answer engines prefer when summarising a business.

High

Unpublish the /portfolio/ pages

Generic, templated pages with no real content dilute the site's overall quality signal to Google. Draft status keeps them off the site until there's genuine content to put there.

Page speed

Google uses mobile page speed as a ranking signal, and it's one of the clearest levers on whether a visitor sticks around long enough to make an enquiry.

Next stepA fresh test on PageSpeed Insights will confirm exactly where the site sits today and what's holding it back. That result is what shapes how this work gets prioritised against everything else.
The four numbers to focus on
MetricWhat it measuresTarget
Performance ScoreOverall mobile speed out of 10070 or above
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)How long the main content takes to appearUnder 2.5 seconds
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)How much the page shifts around while loadingUnder 0.1
Total Blocking Time (TBT)How long before the page is interactiveUnder 200ms

Replacing the current speed optimisation plugin, covered under Platform & Plugins, is the first concrete step toward hitting these targets.

Design & UX

How the site behaves once someone's on it. Thirteen changes across mobile usability, layout, and how the site presents itself to a new visitor.

Critical
Critical

Larger phone and menu icons on mobile

Undersized tap targets are a mobile usability fault Google's Core Web Vitals and mobile-first index both account for, and the first thing a mobile visitor struggles with before reading a word.

Critical

Rebuild the contact page layout

The contact page is the last step before an enquiry. A layout that's hard to use on the device most visitors arrive on directly costs completed enquiries.

Critical

Reprioritise the main menu order

Services and Industries carry the commercial weight of the site and should sit ahead of Our Story, both for visitors scanning quickly and for the internal links search engines crawl.

High
High

Fix responsive gaps site-wide

Layout gaps on mobile are a direct usability fault, and with most local search traffic arriving on mobile, also a Core Web Vitals and mobile-first indexing concern.

High

Redesign the footer and social icons

The footer sits on every page. Getting its structure and social presence right reinforces trust site-wide rather than only on the pages a visitor happens to land on.

High

Add images to service cards

Consistent visual weight across every service card keeps the page scannable and matches the standard already set on the Industries page.

High

Live Google reviews feed on homepage

With 70 five-star reviews already sitting there, a live feed is far stronger social proof than static quotes, and it refreshes itself without needing a content update each time.

Moderate
Moderate

Refresh the mobile off-canvas menu

The current mobile menu is quite basic, and it's often the first real interaction a mobile visitor has with the site, setting the tone for everything that follows.

Moderate

Shrink header and logo on scroll

Reclaims viewport space on smaller screens once a visitor starts scrolling, so more of the actual content is visible at once.

Moderate

More imagery across internal pages

Internal pages currently read as text-heavy. More imagery breaks up the page and keeps a visitor engaged longer, itself a positive engagement signal.

Moderate

Update the copyright year in the footer

A footer that still reads 2021 is a small but visible signal to a visitor that the site hasn't been looked after recently.

Moderate

Redesign "Clients We Work With"

Linking each client logo through to something relevant turns a static trust signal into another path for a visitor to explore the site further.

Low
Low · Future-proofing

An easier way to manage staff profiles

We can build an easy way to add, remove and edit staff profiles in the back end of the site, while keeping the exact same consistent styling on the front end. A future-proofing step worth taking if the team is likely to grow or change often, so updates don't need a developer each time.

Platform & plugins

What runs under the hood. Aimed at speed, security and reliability rather than anything a visitor notices directly.

Critical

Add a dedicated email delivery service

Without one, form submissions sent through standard hosting mail can land in spam or fail to arrive at all, the single point of failure between a completed enquiry and it actually reaching an inbox.

High

Replace the security plugin and configure it properly

Our security plugin licence gives us extra configuration and monitoring capabilities beyond what's currently running, letting us harden the site properly rather than relying on default settings.

High

Consolidate the contact form plugins

Replacing the two separate form plugins with a single, more capable one gives us an easy-to-access entry log in the back end, so every submission is tracked in one place rather than split across two systems.

Moderate

Replace the speed optimisation plugin

Directly addresses the targets set out in Page Speed, with a caching setup we can tune and support properly rather than working around a third-party black box.

Moderate

Convert images to WebP

Smaller image files load faster, feeding directly into the Performance Score and Largest Contentful Paint targets covered in Page Speed.

Also required
Setup

Secure a licence for the Revolution Theme

The site is built on the Revolution Theme framework. A valid licence is required to keep it eligible for framework updates and support going forward.

Setup

Add the site to ongoing monitoring

Uptime and security monitoring, the same programme we run across our other client sites.

Setup

Set up tracking accounts

Take over or create accounts for Analytics, Search Console and rank tracking, so performance is measurable from day one rather than something we're guessing at.

Action plan

Every action from this review in one list, organised by area and priority.

What we need from you

Two decisions before work begins.

Question 01

Calls or contact form?

If phone enquiries are the priority, the number becomes the dominant call to action in the header. If online enquiries matter more, the contact page rebuild and form placement take precedence instead.

Question 02

Is WooCommerce required?

Store functionality is currently running with no clear purpose visible on the site. Confirming if the commerce functionality is required shapes both the Priority Fixes list and a chunk of the Platform work.
