If you’re anything like the True Mtn team, you hit the ground running this year. New projects, exciting clients, and fresh updates already have us on a roll for 2025. It’s the perfect time to channel that momentum into your website. With just a few tweaks, you can make sure your site is ready to impress visitors, attract more traffic, and help you crush your goals this year. Let’s dive into some easy, practical ways to give your website the boost it deserves.
1. Show Off What’s New for 2025
You don’t want potential clients to land on your website when it’s showing outdated information, services, hours, or locations. Your website should be a reflection of what’s happening in your business right now. Whether you’ve launched new services, expanded your local reach, or hit some exciting milestones, make sure your audience knows about it! A quick update on your homepage, such as a banner or an announcement, can grab attention right away and let customers know you’re still relevant in your industry.
Don’t stop there! You can also update your “About” page with recent highlights or write a blog post sharing your big plans for the year. These are easy ways to keep your site feeling fresh while connecting with your audience. If you’re stretched for time (like most business owners), our content booster is perfect for helping with blog posts, making updates, and custom photo and video.
2. Give Your Visuals a Glow-Up
Let’s be honest: visuals can make or break a first impression. If your site’s images are feeling a little tired, now is the perfect time to swap them out for fresh, high-quality photos. Ideally, you can include custom images of your projects, or even your workspace—something that makes your brand feel real and relatable.
You can also tweak your site’s design for a fresh vibe. Adjust your color palette, update fonts, or add some seasonal elements to keep things relevant. Even small changes can make a big impact on how your site feels. And if you’re not sure where to start, check out How to Make Your Website Speak Your Brand’s Language for some inspiration.
3. Boost Your Local SEO Game
If your business serves a specific local area, focusing on local SEO is where it’s at. If you want to show up when someone searches for “Landscaping in Plano” or “Pool Installation in Greenwood,” that’s where City Service pages come in. These behind-the-scenes pages target specific areas you serve, making it easier for people nearby to find you.
Don’t forget about your Google My Business profile! Update your hours, add some new photos, and make sure everything is accurate. Each True Mtn website is tailored to provide the best possible SEO results.
4. Keep It Fresh with New Content
Fresh content is the secret sauce for your website. It lets search engines know that you’re active, energizes your site, and keeps visitors coming back. Start the year with a blog post that answers common customer questions or shares some timely tips. For example, a roofer could write about “How to Spot Roof Damage After Winter Storms” or a deck builder could share “5 Ways to Prep Your Deck for Spring.”
You don’t have to stop at blogs. Updating your FAQs, showcasing a recent project with a case study, or adding a new testimonial from a happy customer are a few other easy ways to add new content. Need more ideas? Our post on Quality Content and SEO is a good place to start!
5. Speed It Up and Simplify
A slow, clunky site is one of the quickest way to lose visitors. Take a few minutes to test your site’s speed and fix any issues. Compress oversized images, ditch outdated plugins, and streamline your navigation so visitors can find what they need fast.
And most importantly, don’t forget mobile users. If your site isn’t easy to use on a phone, you’re probably losing potential customers. A few quick adjustments can make all the difference in keeping visitors happy (and sticking around longer). If you’re feeling stuck, we’d be happy to help optimize your site for speed and simplicity.
6. Brag a Little—You’ve Earned It
Your website is the perfect place to show off your expertise. Whether it’s featuring glowing reviews from happy clients or showcasing your certifications and awards, make sure visitors know why you’re the best choice. Adding a “Why Choose Us” section to your homepage is an easy way to let your reputation do the talking.
Have a standout project you’re especially proud of? Highlight it with some photos and a short write-up on your homepage. You can also dedicate individual blog posts to new projects as you finish them up. These updates build trust over time and make potential customers feel confident that they’ve found the right business.
What’s the Payoff?
Refreshing your website might not seem like it belongs at the top of your priority list, but it can make a huge difference. Here’s what you can expect:
- More Visitors: Better SEO and visuals bring potential customers to your site.
- Higher Engagement: A fast, user-friendly site keeps them there longer.
- Increased Trust: Fresh content and testimonials show you mean business.
- Room to Grow: Easy updates like these help your website grow right along with your business.
