A service site audit from promise to qualified lead

The audit connects search intent, proof, form behavior, CRM quality and visibility in search and AI answers.

Evidence status
Demonstration report
Source
Synthetic data and a public evidence pattern
Period
Synthetic 30 day window

The company, niche, domains and metrics are synthetic. Old public samples were not used as business facts.

Control snapshot

  • 1,200 sessions synthetic snapshot
  • 48 form starts 4% of sessions
  • 18 submissions 37.5% of starts
  • 10 qualified leads 55.56% of submissions

The 90 second view

  1. Clarify Separate three service intents into pages with a result, proof and next step.
  2. Measure Return qualified and won stages from CRM, not only form submit.
  3. Protect Keep the short form and working indexation.

What was checked and where confidence ends

Sources

  • Home, three services and four landings
  • Forms, thank you state and synthetic CRM
  • Search snippets, schema and links
  • AI crawler access and answer passages

Coverage

All commercial templates, 24 form and CTA states on mobile and desktop, plus key search and AI surfaces.

Limitations

Sales call quality and loss reasons are unknown, so the cause of low qualification remains a hypothesis.

Measurement confidence

Lead measured, quality not returned

1,200 sessions produced 48 starts, 18 submits and 10 qualified leads. Rates are 4%, 37.5% and 55.56%. Won stage is missing.

The three decisions above give an executive summary. The complete review register below shows the checks behind those decisions.

This page shows 24 of 24 checks in the demonstration register. A client report also links each check to its source, accountable role, and working artifact.

CheckPriorityDecisionWhat we established
01 Intent and service routesThree different buyer jobs should not lead to one broad promise.
SV-01 P1 Separate Assign a page to each of the three intents. Urgency, scale, and expected outcome differ.
SV-02 P1 Protect Keep the general hub for navigation. The hub is useful when it does not compete with landing pages on the same promise.
SV-03 P2 Clarify State the outcome and service boundary. A list of work does not explain what the client receives or what is excluded.
SV-04 P2 Map Connect query, page, and CTA. Each high-intent need should have one logical next step.
02 Evidence, trust, and citabilityAn expertise claim becomes evidence when it includes a process, limit, and verifiable fact.
SV-05 P1 Strengthen Add process and readiness criteria. Two of three synthetic pages do not explain how the outcome is produced.
SV-06 P1 Source Tie each claim to primary evidence. Schema does not replace visible content or fact provenance.
SV-07 P2 Set limits State when the service is not suitable. A clear limit improves expectations and qualification.
SV-08 P2 Maintain Add a review date and accountable role. A citable fact needs to remain current after publication.
03 CTA, form, and mobile journeyThe short form works; the gap belongs in route and quality diagnosis rather than random extra fields.
SV-09 P0 Protect Keep the short form. The form submits, and there is no evidence that more fields would improve quality.
SV-10 P1 Verify Run all 24 CTA and form states. Coverage includes error, success, validation, and mobile states.
SV-11 P1 Align Repeat the page promise beside the form. The visitor should know what happens after submission.
SV-12 P2 Measure Separate form starts, submissions, and qualified leads. The 48 → 18 → 10 sequence locates different losses.
04 CRM, lead quality, and advertisingAdvertising sees a form but cannot tell whether the lead became qualified or closed as a sale.
SV-13 P0 Import Send the qualified-lead conversion (qualified) to ad platforms. The synthetic CRM qualifies 10 of 18 submissions.
SV-14 P1 Add Define and import the closed-won conversion (won). A qualified lead is an intermediate stage, not the commercial outcome.
SV-15 P1 Protect data Send click ID and consent without PII. Signal quality does not justify sharing personal data.
SV-16 P2 Hold bids Wait for enough new signal before bid changes. Ten events are not a stable basis for aggressive automation.
05 SEO, AI answers, and bot accessIndexation and bot access work. The next step is content that can be quoted accurately.
SV-17 P0 Protect Do not block the indexed hub. The hub connects services and has no technical crawl blocker.
SV-18 P1 Answer Cover five commercial questions. Each answer should be concise, dated, and supported by a source.
SV-19 P2 Verify Compare three AI systems without a synthetic score. Record presence, accuracy, and source rather than forecasted leads.
SV-20 P2 Monitor Track access for the main crawlers. Working access is protected but does not itself guarantee a mention.
06 Experiments, accountability, and controlEvery change has an accountable role, acceptance criterion, and stop rule.
SV-21 P1 Assign Give each of the three routes an accountable role. Content, forms, and CRM cross several disciplines.
SV-22 P1 Record Define the baseline qualified-lead conversion rate. Higher submission volume without quality is not success.
SV-23 P2 Test Change one promise or proof element at a time. A controlled change allows the cause of the result to be read.
SV-24 P2 Roll back Restore the version when the qualified-lead conversion rate falls. The guardrail is set before publication.

Priority decisions with evidence

Rebuild routes

Three intents receive one broad promise

Source: landings and synthetic terms. Period: snapshot. Status: synthetic. Confidence: medium. Coverage: four pages and 600 terms.

Observation
Pages repeat generic services although queries differ by urgency, scale and outcome.
Decision logic
The gap may reduce trust. A general hub remains useful navigation and should stay.
Action and verification
The service-line manager and copywriter create intent pages. Acceptance: each target term has one primary route and the hub does not compete.
Fix measurement

The platform sees submit, not quality

Source: analytics and synthetic CRM. Period: 30 days. Status: synthetic. Confidence: high. Coverage: 18 submits and 10 qualified leads.

Observation
Submit rate is 18 / 1,200 = 1.5%; qualified rate is 10 / 1,200 = 0.83%. Ads receives only submit.
Decision logic
Optimization may buy cheap poor leads, but qualified volume is too low for an immediate bidding switch.
Action and verification
The CRM analyst and web analyst import qualified and won with click IDs and consent. Acceptance: deduplicated stages, no PII and explained variance.
Strengthen proof

Expertise claims lack a citable basis

Source: content, schema and AI sample. Period: snapshot. Status: synthetic. Confidence: medium. Coverage: three pages and five questions.

Observation
Two of three pages lack a named process, constraints or a verifiable case fact. Schema cannot replace content.
Decision logic
Search and AI have weaker evidence, although Organization data exists.
Action and verification
The subject-matter expert adds a short answer, process, constraints and proof. Acceptance: five questions have a direct answer, review date and source.

What works and should not change

Preserve the short form and indexable hub

The form submits and the hub links services without a crawl blocker.

No extra fields or noindex without an experiment and demand evidence.

Target state and change rules

01

Target state

Each intent has an evidence-backed page, forms lead to measured quality, and SEO and AI are judged through verifiable answers.

02

How we test

Qualified-lead (qualified) and closed-won (won) feedback comes first; promise and proof are then tested one at a time on a stable route.

03

When we roll back

Revert the version if qualified-lead conversion or confirmed volume falls below the agreed baseline.
