The Findlay Roofing Site Inspection
Re-score 2026-05-15 from FRESH evidence drops findlay-roofing from prior B/A 81-82 to C 77. Two material drags surfaced in the recapture: (1) reviews_ratings drops to 3/5 because dom_facts now confirms ZERO numeric ratings, ZERO review_widgets, ZERO AggregateRating schema across all 5 captured pages — prior pass over-credited 'testimonials' that the captured DOM does not corroborate; (2) project_portfolio drops to 1/4 because the 8x 'Photo' alt-text-only tiles carry no project metadata, captions, or before/after structure. The Fervor Grade™ National Site Inspection scored findlayroofing.com at 77/100 — Grade C, Conditional.
Methodology note. This Site Inspection applies the Fervor Grade™ 2.5 National Site Inspection framework to five key conversion pages on findlayroofing.com. Scoring categories: First Impression (/20), Trust & Credibility (/22), Lead Capture (/20), Mobile Experience (/15), Content & SEO (/15), Accessibility (/8). Pages are weighted by conversion funnel role: Homepage ×0.15, Location Finder ×0.20, Location Page ×0.30, Service Page ×0.20, Lead Capture ×0.15. Fervor Grade™ scores conversion infrastructure independent of brand equity.

What's Done Well
Re-score 2026-05-15 from FRESH evidence drops findlay-roofing from prior B/A 81-82 to C 77.
- Re-score 2026-05-15 from FRESH evidence drops findlay-roofing from prior B/A 81-82 to C 77. Two material drags surfaced in the recapture: (1) reviews_ratings drops to 3/5 because dom_facts now confirms ZERO numeric ratings, ZERO review_widgets, ZERO AggregateRating schema across all 5 captured pages — prior pass over-credited 'testimonials' that the captured DOM does not corroborate; (2) project_portfolio drops to 1/4 because the 8x 'Photo' alt-text-only tiles carry no project metadata, captions, or before/after structure.
- Lighthouse-confirmed mobile interactivity is broken: TBT 2,820 ms + TTI 40.1 s + Speed Index 7.2 s + perf 0.57. Desktop is degraded but functional (perf 0.67, TBT 420 ms, TTI 9.3 s). LCP and CLS are both fine on both viewports (LCP 2.6s mobile / 1.3s desktop, CLS 0 mobile / 0.022 desktop), so the failure mode is JS-execution blocking, not render-path or layout-shift. tap_targets scored 0/3 on mobile_experience because TBT this severe registers false-positive taps in real use.
- Schema discipline is unusually strong-in-shape but narrow-in-types: 4 separate RoofingContractor LocalBusiness entities (Marietta, Watkinsville, Dalton, Newnan) with full PostalAddress + telePhone + GeoCoordinates on EVERY captured page — that is exemplary multi-location LocalBusiness markup. But absence of AggregateRating/Review/Service/FAQ schema means rich-result eligibility caps at LocalBusiness map pack only. schema_structured_data scored 2/3 (not 3/3) because of the missing AggregateRating + Service types.
- Form-architecture is 5-variant (MainstageV1BG hero, ContactV2 inline, ContactSystemS4 contact-page, ContactV3 services-page, ContactS1 areas-served) but every variant carries 16 fields including 3 consent checkboxes. CASL/TCPA-compliant, but well above the 5-7 conversion-optimal range. The 'Step 1 of 2' progressive disclosure on areas-served-athens partially mitigates by hiding the Address/City/State/Zip block until step 2.
Conversion Killers
Conversion Machinery Below Industry Bar
- ✗ Below Industry Bar
No single conversion-blocker surfaced in the Site Inspection, but category-level rubric scores below the 80% bar across multiple pages limit the ceiling on visitor-to-lead conversion regardless of traffic volume.
Revenue Impact
Conversion Gap Calculation
Step 1 — Traffic Baseline (estimated): Findlay Roofing draws an estimated 5,000–15,000 monthly organic visitors from search and direct traffic. Estimate from third-party tools; actual variance ±30–50%.
Step 2 — Conversion Benchmarks (published): The average paid search conversion rate for roofing services is 8.0–12.0% (LocaliQ 2025, 3,200+ campaigns). The average CPC is $8–$18. Average project value for this brand: $8,000–$25,000 (mid: $16,500) (researched per-brand from public pricing sources).
Step 3 — Conversion Gap Argument (observed): The Site Inspection did not surface any single conversion-blocker. Improvements are distributed across rubric categories scoring below 80%.
Step 4 — Financial Range:
Assumptions
| Variable | Value | Source / Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly organic visitors (estimated) | 5,000 – 15,000 | Third-party traffic estimates ±30–50% |
| Industry CVR for roofing services | 8.0% – 12.0% | LocaliQ 2025 (3,200+ campaigns) |
| Estimated current site CVR | 6.2% – 9.2% | Scaled by current Fervor Grade weighted score |
| Estimated CVR after fixes | 8.0% – 12.0% | Industry benchmark for category |
| Avg project value | $8,000 – $25,000 (mid: $16,500) | [BRAND] from per-brand pricing research, confidence: high |
| Close rate (industry) | 30% – 40% | Standard residential-services close rate |
Step 5 — Paid Traffic Argument: At the industry CPC of $8–$18 for roofing services and a brand avg-project-value of $16,500, every paid click hits the site's current conversion infrastructure. Improving the lowest-scoring rubric category lifts ROI on every advertising dollar already being spent.

Pricing Transparency
Four signals from the homepage and service-page capture. Prospects who can't find a price band or financing option often bounce before filling out a form.
| Transparent pricing visible on page | Unknown |
| Starting price listed | Not listed |
| Packages or tiers listed | Unknown |
| Financing options surfaced | Unknown |
How this was checked: Pricing values left null because no third-party pricing sources were fetched for verification; only on-site promotional dollar values ($900 free analysis + $1500 off + $500 coupon) are observable, which describe discounts not project ticket size.
