Every business converts differently.
My core work is home-service trades, but the same approach applies anywhere a business depends on bookings, enquiries or walk-ins. What changes is the conversion logic — below is how I’d treat each.
What I’d build, and why.
No two of these sell the same way. A dental practice needs to reduce anxiety; a law firm needs to demonstrate outcomes; a restaurant needs to get out of the way.
Med Spa & Aesthetics
Bought on results and trust. The site’s job is proof and low-friction booking.
- Before and after galleries organised by treatment
- Treatment menu with honest pricing ranges
- Online booking with practitioner selection
- Financing and package options up front
Dental & Orthodontics
People delay dentists out of anxiety and cost uncertainty. Remove both.
- New patient offer visible immediately
- Insurance accepted, stated plainly
- Meet-the-team section to reduce anxiety
- Online appointment request, not a phone-only bottleneck
Law Firms
Highest client value of any local business. Credibility does the selling.
- Case results and settlement figures where permitted
- Practice areas as separate, rankable pages
- Free consultation as the single clear action
- Attorney bios with credentials and admissions
Auto Repair & Detailing
Same trust problem as plumbing — drivers assume they’re being overcharged.
- Service menu with clear starting prices
- Quote request with vehicle details
- Certifications and warranty terms
- Fleet and commercial account enquiries
Fitness & Studios
The conversion is the first visit, not the membership. Optimise for that.
- Class schedule visible without signing up
- Free trial or intro offer as primary action
- Instructor profiles and class descriptions
- Membership tiers with honest pricing
Restaurants & Cafés
People arrive knowing what they want. Don’t make them hunt for it.
- Menu readable on a phone without pinching
- Hours and location above everything else
- Reservations or ordering in one tap
- Photography that reflects the actual food
Pet Care & Grooming
Owners are handing over family. Reassurance matters more than price.
- Booking with pet size and breed details
- Service packages with clear inclusions
- Vaccination requirements stated upfront
- Facility photos and staff introductions
Real Estate
Agents sell themselves, not houses. The site is a credibility instrument.
- Recent sales with actual figures
- Neighbourhood guides that rank locally
- Home valuation request as lead capture
- Client testimonials tied to specific sales
Different trade? Same approach.
