LOCAL WEBSITE REPORT CARDS

We test local business websites—then show what customers experience.

A website benchmark is a group report card. We review public service-business websites for mobile speed, secure browsing, contact options, service information and sampled broken links. Then we turn the anonymous results into simple charts anyone can use.

Published by Web Respawn, a website design agency for service businesses. Audited businesses are never named or publicly ranked.

What this means: most audited sites covered the basic technical and contact signals. Mobile speed was the area with the biggest differences.

How we keep it fair

Every website gets the same checks.

The rules are written before testing begins. That keeps the findings comparable and prevents us from changing the method to create a better headline.
