Review the page on a phone as well as a desktop. Use real product names, longer headings and representative customer information. Ask a reviewer to explain what the business offers and what they would do next. Record the answer rather than assuming the intended hierarchy is obvious.<\/p>\n<h3>A common mistake to avoid<\/h3>\n<p>Do not replace missing information with decorative badges or broad promises.
