TEMPLATE · CHECKLIST

The contractor landing page checklist.

Run this before a page goes live and again whenever booked estimates dip. Each box is something a homeowner would notice, or something you’d need to know which ad worked.

HOW TO USE IT

Three steps. Then make it yours.

  1. 01

    Copy

    Fill in the brackets in the first block before building, so the page has one job, one source, and one action.

  2. 02

    Make it sound like you

    Open the page on your own phone over cellular data and go through every block as if you were the homeowner.

  3. 03

    Put it to work

    Submit a test lead and confirm it reaches the CRM and your team with its source attached before turning the ads on.

Before you send anything
  • Swap every [bracket] for your real details.
  • Read it out loud. If you wouldn’t say it, change it.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Which box matters most if I only fix one thing?

Message match. A homeowner who clicks an ad for a roof and lands on a general homepage often leaves. Matching the page to the ad is usually the fastest fix.

Do I need a separate page for Google and Facebook traffic?

Often, yes. Search visitors know what they want and many prefer to call. Social visitors weren’t looking yet and need more proof first. The same job type can have two pages.

How do I test page speed without special tools?

Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone and open the page over cellular. If you’re waiting on the headline or the photos, homeowners are too. Free speed tests can show what’s slowing it down.

Is a consent checkbox for texts really necessary?

If you plan to text leads, yes. Clear consent and an easy way to opt out protect you and set expectations. Have whoever handles your compliance review the exact wording.
