Hi everyone,
I’m curious how much information people think a local service business should provide on its website before asking visitors to contact them.
For services where every project can be different, I think there is a balance between giving enough useful information and overwhelming visitors with long pages. Things like explaining the typical process, possible costs, project timelines, common problems, and examples of previous work can make a service page much more useful.
For example, someone searching for haus renovieren frankfurt (https://herzog-bau.gmbh/frankfurt/) probably wants more than a generic “we renovate houses” page. They may want to understand what is involved in planning a renovation, which parts of the property can be modernized, and what questions they should ask a contractor before starting.
I’ve found that pages answering these practical questions tend to be more helpful than pages that are mostly promotional copy.
What do you think works best for local service websites: detailed service guides, project case studies, FAQs, or a combination of all three?
