Key findings
- The homepage stacks Google review chips for both metros (4.9 / 26,002 reviews in St Louis and 4.9 / 2,651 reviews in Nashville), pairs that proof with the 40-year tenure line, and surfaces the ACCA Residential Contractor of the Year recognition on the HVAC service page — that trust stack is doing most of the conversion work above the fold.
- The dedicated contact-page form asks for 21 fields including full street address, city, state, ZIP, and consent state — well over the 3-5 fields most service-call intake forms benefit from, and a likely cause of mid-funnel drop-off when visitors choose to call instead.
- Accessibility evidence shows three repeated issues across the inspected pages: a low-contrast pink label on the contact form, an empty Nashville neighborhood link with no screen-reader text on the locations page, and a heading-order jump from H2 to H4 inside the office cards on multiple pages.
Quick wins
- Cut the contact-page form to five fields (name, phone, email, ZIP, what you need help with) and move address collection into the post-submit confirmation or scheduling step — the long form is the largest single lift available in the lead-capture category.
- Add an inline 'Get a Quick Estimate' form (name, phone, service needed) inside the homepage hero panel alongside 'Book Online' so visitors who do not want to enter the scheduling flow have a same-screen lead-capture path.
- Darken the italic 'Message' field label on the contact form (currently #f0506e at 3.45:1 against white) to a color that clears the 4.5:1 contrast threshold, and add an aria-label or visible text to the empty Nashville '12 South' neighborhood link so screen-reader users can identify the destination.
- Promote the office-card city names (currently H4) to H3 so the heading outline on the contact page and HVAC page no longer skips from H2 to H4 — a one-class CSS change with no visual impact and an immediate accessibility win.
