The problem

Plenty of small business websites look respectable. They still quietly lose enquiries.

A site can be tidy, modern and still make people hesitate. Slow pages, buried contact buttons, weak trust cues, patchy accessibility and thin service copy all chip away at enquiries.

Most owners do not need another vague agency pitch. They need a clear Website MOT that points at the leaks, explains them plainly and shows what to fix first.

What the Website MOT checks

The practical checks that affect whether people trust you, find you and get in touch.

Each report is designed to feel like an expert review, not a pile of automated scores with no business context.

SEO basics

Titles, headings, metadata and service-page signals that help Google understand what you do and where you do it.

Page speed

Heavy pages, image issues and delays that make visitors leave before they enquire.

Mobile experience

The phone-sized reality: cramped layouts, tiny buttons and awkward enquiry journeys.

Accessibility

Contrast, structure and usability problems that make the site harder to use and easier to abandon.

Trust signals

Evidence that you are credible: reviews, reassurance, contact detail clarity and proof that you are a real business worth contacting.

Contact flow

How easy it is to call, message or request a quote without friction, doubt or unnecessary steps.

Local search

Signals that matter when nearby customers search for the service you offer.

Content clarity

Whether your pages clearly explain what you do, who it is for and why someone should choose you.

Calls-to-action

Whether the next step is obvious, visible and persuasive instead of buried or easy to miss.

Analytics basics

A quick check that key actions can be measured properly rather than guessed at later.

What your GrowthCheck report includes

A report structure you can actually picture before you pay for it.

Automated checks combined with expert review, focused on the issues most likely to affect trust, visibility and enquiries.

Why this matters

You are not buying a vague audit.

The aim is to give you something concrete enough to brief a developer, challenge weak advice or decide where to spend effort first.

How GrowthCheck approaches it

  • Automated checks combined with expert review.
  • Plain-English findings, not developer-only language.
  • Priority focused, so you can see what matters now and what can wait.

Example report

A sharper Website MOT than “your SEO needs work”.

GrowthCheck shows what is wrong, why it may be costing customers and what deserves attention first.

Mini report preview

Three issues worth fixing first

Fictional example

Your main CTA is below the fold

Fix this week

On smaller screens the first obvious way to get in touch appears too late, which increases drop-off before people decide to enquire.

Service pages are too thin for Google

Fix this month

Core services have limited detail, weak internal linking and not enough location context to compete well when local customers search.

Mobile contact journey has too much friction

Monitor

Too many fields and unclear reassurance around response times make the form feel heavier than it needs to.

For a quick website health snapshot.

Best for owners who want a practical first pass before deciding whether a deeper review is needed.

Request Starter

Professional GrowthCheck

Recommended

£149

For a detailed expert-reviewed report with prioritised recommendations.

Best for businesses that want a more complete picture of what may be holding the website back and what deserves attention first.

  • Includes everything in Starter, plus deeper review across performance, accessibility, trust, calls to action, contact flow, local search and analytics basics.
  • Includes clearer prioritisation and practical recommendations in plain English.
  • Expected turnaround: typically within a few working days after we receive your website details, with more depth than the snapshot.
Request Professional

Premium GrowthCheck

£399

For businesses that want deeper analysis, competitor comparison and a 30-day action plan.

Best for owners who want a fuller decision-making document rather than just a snapshot of issues.

  • Includes the detailed report, deeper expert review, competitor comparison and a more tailored 30-day action plan.

Why GrowthCheck?

GrowthCheck was created to give small businesses the kind of practical website review normally reserved for larger digital teams.

It is led by an experienced web engineering leader who has worked on high-traffic digital products and understands the parts of a website that actually affect performance, accessibility, analytics, reliability and customer journeys.

The aim is straightforward: an engineering-led review, plain-English recommendations and prioritised fixes without jargon or the pressure of a long agency retainer.

GrowthCheck is not here to make simple problems sound complicated. It is here to show what is working, what may be costing enquiries, and what deserves attention first.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions most buyers ask before they commit.

The aim is clarity, not hard sell. If GrowthCheck is a fit, this should make that easier to judge.

Is this just an SEO audit?

No. SEO is part of the review, but GrowthCheck also looks at performance, accessibility, trust signals, calls to action, contact friction, mobile usability and analytics basics. The goal is to show why the website may not be generating as many enquiries as it should, not just list search tasks.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No. The report is written for business owners in plain English. If something technical matters, it should be explained clearly enough for you to understand why it matters and what needs doing.

Will you fix the issues for me?

GrowthCheck is focused on review and prioritisation rather than promising to implement everything directly. The report should give you a clearer brief for your developer, designer or agency, and it may also help you decide what is worth tackling first yourself.

How long does a GrowthCheck take?

It depends on the tier. Starter and Professional are typically turned around within a few working days. Premium usually takes a little longer because it includes deeper analysis and comparison work.

What kind of businesses is this for?

It is designed for UK small businesses that rely on their website to generate enquiries, bookings or quote requests, and want a practical review without generic agency language.

Do you use automated tools or expert review?

Both. GrowthCheck uses automated checks where they are useful, then combines them with expert review so the findings have context and the recommendations are more practical.

Can I use this with my existing web designer or agency?

Yes. In many cases that is the most useful way to use it. The report should help you brief existing partners more clearly, challenge vague advice and agree what is worth fixing first.

Will this guarantee more leads?

No. No honest review can guarantee more leads, rankings or sales. What GrowthCheck can do is show where the site may be making trust, usability or visibility harder than it needs to be, so decisions are based on something more solid than guesswork.

What happens after I receive the report?

You should have a clearer sense of what is working, what is weak and what to fix first. From there, you can use the report to prioritise improvements, brief your current web partner, or decide whether a bigger change is actually justified.
