What actually breaks

No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 15 of them.

15 of the 28 photography studios we opened in Oakville share the same fault: no enquiry form anywhere on the site. 13 have a second one on top of it — no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.

If you own one of these 28 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 15 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.

Who you are up against

from the top five.
