Your customers are searching. Without you. Every day people in your area type “double glazing near me” and “window installers [town]” into Google — then pick from the three firms in the map pack and the handful on page one. If you’re not there, you don’t exist for that job. It went to a competitor, and you never even knew it was up for grabs.
Window companies get a raw deal from Google. A site built years ago by someone long gone. A Google Business Profile that’s never been touched. No reviews coming in, thin local coverage, and content that says nothing Google can rank. So you end up renting leads from national brokers — the same enquiry sold to four other installers — instead of owning the searches in your own patch.
When we audit a window company’s site, we tend to find the same handful of issues every time. A Google Business Profile half-filled in and never optimised. No reviews flow, so the map pack favours competitors who ask. Service pages that target nothing, location pages that don’t exist, and a site so slow on a phone that Google buries it. Missing or broken schema, so Google can’t even tell what you do or where.
None of that is hard to fix. It just takes someone who knows what they’re looking at, doing the work month after month — the on-page, the profile, the citations, the content — so the rankings compound into a pipeline you own outright.
