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. The visitor needs an understandable offer, relevant evidence and a working next step. Visual polish should make those elements easier to evaluate, not push them farther down the page.<\/p>\n<h2>Your next step<\/h2>\n<p>For website project prioritization, keep the review tied to the original problem.
