Your AI builder says the site is ready. Before you share it, spend an hour on these checks. They catch the problems that quietly cost you visitors and leads.

Forms and contact

  • Send a test message through every form and confirm it arrives
  • Check the email does not land in spam
  • Click every phone number and email link on a phone

If messages do not arrive, see why form emails go missing.

Google can find it

  • The site is not set to hide from search engines
  • Each page has its own title and description
  • The site is added to Google Search Console with a sitemap

More on this in why sites do not show up in Google.

It works on phones

  • Open every page on a real phone
  • Nothing scrolls sideways and every button is easy to tap
  • The menu opens and closes

The content is yours

  • No placeholder text left anywhere
  • Every claim is true, with real numbers and real photos where possible
  • AI images checked for mistakes, like odd hands or fake text
  • Copy reads like your business, not like every other site

The basics are in place

  • A privacy policy and the pages your country requires
  • Analytics set up, with cookie consent if you need it
  • A backup schedule
  • Speed checked on mobile with PageSpeed Insights

Want someone to check it for you?

Send the address through the repair form and mention it is a pre-launch check. You get a list of what to fix, and a fixed price if you want it fixed for you.

Built by AI?

Fixed by hand.

If your project has the problem this post describes, a specialist can look at it and send a fixed estimate.
