- Quick-service restaurants: 13. Their website should show today’s hours, the menu and photos that look like what customers get.
- Plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: 8. Their website should show emergency availability in plain words, the towns you cover and license information.
- Law offices: 5. Their website should show what kind of cases you take, where you practice and how a first consultation works.
