Once a month, fill in your own website's contact form and check that the email actually lands.

Forms break quietly. A plugin updates, a mail setting changes at the host, an address forwards to somebody who left the company — and the form still shows a thank-you message to the person who filled it in. Usually nobody finds out until a customer mentions they gave up waiting.

It takes a minute. Do it from your phone while you're at it.

Troy has its own page on our site now — local SEO and AEO for businesses along the Big Beaver and Crooks corridor, handled out of Rochester Hills.

Search in Troy doesn't behave like search a few miles north. The office parks and the Big Beaver retail pull different searches than a neighborhood service business does, and the three map results get decided search by search.

One in-house team, no hand-offs. No guarantees either — rankings, calls and leads, reported plainly.

Google shows three businesses in the map results, and they aren't simply the three closest. The set also changes with where the person searching is standing — results in Troy aren't the results in Royal Oak.

We've written up how those three get chosen, in plain language, for Michigan service businesses.

What an owner controls is narrower than most people assume: categories, service area, the accuracy of the listing itself. The distance between your front door and the person searching isn't something you can change.

Branding work keeps going after the logo is approved. The photos, the video, the typefaces, and the files somebody will need two years from now all have to be decided too.

Our new guide on multimedia branding goes through what a local business should get made first, who should own the source files, whether video slows your site down, and how to keep everything consistent once more than one person is posting.

Center a subject in a photo and the shot goes still. Nudge it a third of the way across the frame and it starts to look deliberate.

That's the whole rule of thirds. Our old post on it is two years old, needs no updating, and is still one of the pages people find us through every week. Worth a look before your next round of storefront or product photos.

Nonprofit websites carry a weight that business websites don't. The person landing on one is often having a hard day.

Child Safe Michigan's site is up on our work page now. The job wasn't to look clever. It was to make the handful of things a visitor came for impossible to miss, and to leave a small staff a site they can update themselves without calling us first.

That second part matters more than people expect. Nobody at a nonprofit has a free afternoon to spend fighting a page editor.

A question we'd rather ask than guess at.

If you've hired someone to build or rank your website in the last few years — what actually decided it? A referral from someone you trust? A site of theirs you'd already seen and liked? Price? The fact that somebody picked up the phone?

We ask because the answers almost never match what agencies think they're being judged on. If you've been through it, tell us which one it was.

Royal Oak is a walk-in town, and that changes what a website has to do there.

Someone is standing on Main with their phone out, deciding between you and the place two doors down. They are not reading your About page. They want hours, whether there's parking, and a number that dials with one thumb.

There's a page up now for the web design and local SEO work we do in Royal Oak, including why the map listing usually matters more than the homepage.

Most Google Business Profiles go wrong on the boring stuff, and always in the same order.

Categories before photos. Hours that match the sign on your door before any posting schedule. A service area that matches where you actually drive. Reviews answered, even the three-word ones.

Our checklist runs in the order that actually moves things, so you can work down it and stop when the returns fall off. Written for an owner with fifteen minutes and a phone.

Websites don't fail all at once. They age.

The photos start looking like a different decade. The plugin that ran the contact form stops being maintained. Something breaks on phones and nobody notices for two months because nobody on staff opens the site on a phone. The person who built it is unreachable. You start apologizing for it in meetings.

We wrote up five signs a site is past due for a rebuild. If you read the list and three of them describe your site, it isn't an emergency — but it is a fall project rather than a next-year project.
