Three types of project I say no to in the first call, even when the money is good.

Someone shopping purely on price. Someone who wants a $500 site that ranks on Google. Anyone whose business I cannot explain to my mum in one sentence.

Saying no is the cheapest form of risk management. The wrong client costs four times what a good client earns - in time, in revisions, in stress, and in the site that goes out under your name.

If you're picking the cheapest quote, I'm not the right call. The cheapest quote is almost never the cheapest outcome.

Which one of these is your site missing?

There are 800+ family lawyers in Brisbane fighting for the same search terms. The ones who pick a lane win.

A 'family lawyer Brisbane' competes against 800+ practices. A 'property settlement lawyer Brisbane' competes against maybe 40. Lower competition, higher intent, and clients who are less likely to price-shop because they came looking for a specialist.

The page structure: specialist pages handle the SEO work while the practice still services the full family law remit. You do not have to turn away generalist work to rank as a specialist.

Worth a read if your firm's homepage tries to be everything.

Most roofers I see undersell the work because their site has stock photos of tile. The photo set that fixes it lives on the phone in your pocket.

Stock images of clean tiles do nothing for a homeowner looking at a 30-year-old roof. A drone shot of a rusted Logan tile roof next to a clean Colorbond replacement does everything.

The brief: take the photo before you start, take it again when you finish. Same angle, same time of day. Build out 8-12 pairs. Caption each one with the suburb and the type of work - tile to Colorbond, gutter replacement, ridge cap re-bed.

The before/after page is your social proof, your portfolio, and your ranking signal in one. 90 seconds per job and your phone's camera. No agency required.

The cheapest CTR lift in Google Ads is free. It is sitting in the assets tab.

Sitelinks: four extra links under your ad. Use 'Services', 'Pricing', 'Areas We Cover', 'Reviews'. That is four more chances to match what the person clicked for.

Callouts: short non-clickable trust statements. 'Licensed since 2011.' 'Same-day callouts.'

Call extension: your phone number on mobile. For tradies, this is the single most valuable asset in the account.

Location extension: pulls your Google Business Profile address and builds local trust on the search results page.

Most accounts use three of the nine available. Setting up the other six takes one afternoon.

Cumulative Layout Shift happens when images, ads, or embeds load without reserved space. The page jumps. Content moves. Users click the wrong thing.

CLS is one of the most fixable Core Web Vitals. It is also the one Google penalises most on mobile.

The fix: set width and height on every image element, reserve space for ads and embeds before they load, and never lazy-load anything above the fold. Most WordPress and Webflow sites can resolve a CLS problem inside an hour.

Open Google PageSpeed Insights on your site now. If CLS is showing as 'needs improvement', your page is shifting. The report will name the exact elements.

Worth a read if your site is doing this.

Pick the wrong primary category on your Google Business Profile and you will be invisible for the searches you most want to rank for.

Google weights the primary category far heavier than secondary categories. An 'Electrician' primary will outrank an 'Electrical contractor' primary for 'electrician near me', even when both businesses do the same work.

Search the exact term you want to rank for. See what category the top 3 businesses are using. Match the most common one as your primary.

That one change is often worth more than months of other SEO work.

AI Overviews started appearing above the Map Pack for service searches in Australia around March 2026. The honest read on what that means for a local business with $0 to spend on it.

Six weeks of traffic data across 40 local service sites: roughly 1 in 3 local service queries now show an AI Overview before the 3-pack. AI Overview referrals are still under 4% of total Google traffic.

Your Google Business Profile and your top two service pages still do most of the work. AI Overviews pull from the same sources that already rank you.

Optimise for it on the side. Do not rebuild your site for it.

When you ring Web Engine, you get the person who wrote your homepage, set your tracking, and is watching your ad spend that week.

Most agencies hand you to a junior after the sale. Not because it's a bad idea in theory - but because handoffs are where details die. The person who built it knows why every decision was made. The person who inherited the account does not.

One person across web, SEO, ads, and tracking. No account manager. No 'I'll have to check with the team'.

If any of this sounds familiar, the full breakdown is on the Playbook. Link in bio.

Your physio practice can ask for Google reviews. You can't put them on your website. Most clinics get this backwards.

A Google review left on Google is fine. Copying it onto your homepage as a 'patient testimonial' breaches Section 133 of the National Law under AHPRA.

The system that works: ask for the review as part of your discharge process, not three days later via follow-up text. At the right moment, the patient's experience is still fresh and they are more likely to write something useful.

For the website: embed a live Google review widget. That pulls reviews from Google in real time - a different legal status to republishing a testimonial.

If you're a plumber covering Ipswich, your site needs to be loud about 24/7 callouts. The 3am customer with water everywhere isn't reading 'quality service since 2008'.

Most plumber sites read like a business card written for a 9-5 office. The after-hours customer is on their phone, panic-tapping into Google, looking for one thing: a giant phone number and the words '24/7'.

Four things the hero needs to do. State the after-hours number. Name the suburbs (Ipswich, Goodna, Booval, Bundamba). Add an emergency callout page that mentions hot water, burst pipe, and blocked drain by name. Stick a tap-to-call button to the bottom of the mobile screen.

Run a 3am test on your own site tonight. Open it on your phone in the dark and ask if you'd ring this business in a panic.
