CardFree · No card · No catch
If your site can't earn its keep, I'll tell you before you spend a dollar.
A free audit of your site and your local search standing. Plain language. No forty page PDF nobody reads. Hudson Valley trades, small businesses, and anyone tired of agency speak.
What you get
Six concrete findings, sent in one email.
The deliverables are the same whether you hire me or not.
Speed reality check
What your site actually loads on a phone over a real cell connection. Three seconds is the cliff. I will show you which side you are on.
Mobile honesty
Whether the site works on a phone or costs you calls. Specific issues. Not a nod that it looks fine.
Local search gap
Where you rank for the searches that matter (town + service), what's outranking you, and the cheapest fixes to close the gap.
Conversion path review
What a first-time visitor actually does on your site. Where they bounce, where they bail on the contact form, and what to change first.
One-page action plan
A ranked list of fixes. This week. This month. This quarter. No forty page PDF nobody reads.
Just as important
What's not in the audit
- Generic Lighthouse PDFs you could run yourself in 30 seconds.
- Vague 'increase engagement' recommendations with no numbers.
- A sales call disguised as a 'discovery session.'
Why I do these for free
Most owners I talk to have been burned by a template agency, a disappearing freelancer, or a “marketing partner” that billed monthly and shipped nothing. A free audit lets you see how I think before any money changes hands. If the audit is useful and you want me to do the work, good. If not, you keep the findings either way.
Quick answers
- Is it actually free?
- Yes. No card. No trial. No funnel. I look at your site, write what I find, and send it. If you want me to do the work after, we talk price then.
- What's the catch?
- A real look takes me one or two hours. A few people each year hire me after one. That is the math. Most do not. That is fine.
- How long does it take?
- 3–5 business days, sometimes faster. If you need it sooner for a deadline, mention that in the form.
- Do you only audit sites you'd want to rebuild?
- No. Half the audits end with 'your site is fine, here are three small fixes.' I'd rather tell you that than sell you a rebuild you don't need.
- Who do I talk to?
- Me. You reach a person. Usually Joe.
- If I hire you after, who owns the code and accounts?
- If you want the files and the hosting login, I hand them over. I won't lock you out.
