Website readiness score: how ready is your business online?

Most business owners have a vague sense their online presence is 'fine' — but 'fine' is a feeling, not a score. This tool turns it into a score out of 100, based on the eight things that actually decide whether customers find you, trust you, and get in touch.

You've got real gaps

Don't panic — every business starts here. The fastest way forward is to get the foundations in place: a proper site, your Google profile, and local SEO. We can set all of that up for you.

What you're missing (8):

  • 15have a live, secure website (with the padlock) — No website, or no padlock? That's the first thing to fix.
  • 10My site works properly on a phone — Over half of your visitors are on mobile. If it's clunky, they leave.
  • 15My Google Business Profile is set up & verified — This is what gets you into Maps and local search.
  • 10have professional photos of my work or business — Stock photos don't build trust. Real ones do.
  • 15collect and display customer reviews — Reviews are the single biggest local ranking and conversion lever.
  • 10My services and pricing are clearly listed — Mystery prices = lost enquiries. People want to know before they call.
  • 10Customers can contact or book me in under 2 clicks — Every extra step between interest and enquiry costs you leads.
  • 15show up on page 1 for my service + my town — If you're not on page 1, you're not getting that search traffic.

Answer each one honestly — yes or no — and you'll get a readiness score plus a checklist of what you're missing, weighted by how much each gap is costing you.

What the score measures

It covers the fundamentals: a live, secure website; mobile-friendliness; your Google Business Profile; real photos; customer reviews; clear pricing; easy contact; and whether you actually rank for your service plus your town. These aren't opinions — they're the levers that move enquiries.

If you're not sure you even need a website, start there.

What a good score looks like

Above 75 means your foundations are solid and the focus shifts to growth. Between 40 and 74 means you've got real gaps costing you enquiries — usually quick to fix. Below 40 means the foundations aren't there yet, and that's exactly what we set up first.

Not ranking for your service and town is one of the biggest score-killers — here's how to start fixing that for free.
