Don Hammel Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hello All, I recently took the dive into the Home Inspection business and I wanted to see if I could get some honest feedback on my website. Also curious if there is a way to "push" for good Yelp reviews. Thanks in advance! www.theinspectionteamllc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Breslawski Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Who's the guy in the picture? Who is on the inspection team? Where do you do business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I don't know what you expect anyone to say about it, because it's the same old, same old content used by every Tom, Dick and Harry home inspector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Tarter Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I hate to say this but it's horrible, the dark black and white format is a complete turn off. I take it this is a DIY site, I suggest having a professional make you a site if you want to see some benefit from it. I had HomeGauge make my site and I am happy with it, I will be updating/redesigning it later this year. Don't take offence to this as my first websites were horrible and I haven't updated my current site in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Possibly the worst home inspection website I've ever seen. Nothing about it makes me want to hire you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hi Don, The above is very honest feedback. People visit sites to see and meet the inspector they might be hiring. Who is your "team"? What are each of their qualifications and experience? It doesn't even mention what area. It doesn't show a location to indicate it's a legit business. No need to tell people why a home inspection is needed. They already know and are searching for a competent candidate. There's nothing in there that would ever result in your site showing up in a search - ever. Also, your meta tags are useless for search indexing. Typo and punctuation. Flyers stapled to phone poles might get better results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ghent Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Do you write reports for "Peace of Mind" or to identify conditions? Where do you ply your trade? Do you have spell check or a thesaurus? concealed defects that make exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have satisfied customers, I would direct them to Google reviews rather than Yelp. Yelp might decide your reviews are fraudulent if you decide agains paying them to promote your business listing. Yelp is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNewhouse Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'd suggest adding some information about your qualifications. What makes you a good choice when a buyer is looking for an inspector? What services do you offer, if any, aside from general inspections? And how about a sample report? Show people what they're paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorBuck Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well, if you want honesty, just ask inspectors. I am no marketing genius, but the website definitely needs some love. The lay out is wrong. The call to action should be above the fold. The color scheme doesn't really work. I would suggest reading "Marketing Made Simple" by Donald Miller to start out. He goes in to pretty good detail there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
