Red flags worth acting on
Mobile bounce is high and tap-to-call is buried - you're paying for traffic that can't convert.
Service lines changed but the site still lists old offers - ads and GBP point to mismatched pages.
Organic traffic flatlined while competitors added city and service URLs.
Redesign without losing SEO
Redirect maps and preserved URL slugs matter - especially for pages that already rank.
We audit equity before launch, not after traffic drops.
How to shortlist a web design partner
Look at shipped local-business sites, not just a homepage mock. Ask whether the studio still owns conversion paths, tracking, and redirects after launch.
US agency directories such as Designrush help you compare web design and development firms before you book a call.
Then score message match, mobile CTAs, and SEO architecture - visual polish alone is not a redesign brief.
