No website or one that looks out of date
A tired-looking website makes homeowners think twice about calling.
Your website has no photos of your work
Painting is visual. A website without finished room photos is like a portfolio without any pictures.
Happy customers but no reviews to show

Excellent finish but no online proof
Your paint finishes are immaculate, but without photos and reviews online, homeowners can't see the quality.
