Next month and open fixes

Planned for month 4:

  2. Add the 2 missing home-improvement directory listings and the certified-installer listings.
  3. Compress gallery images to cut mobile load time from 6.1 seconds to under 3.

Still open from the audit, in priority order:

  1. Add location details to photos from the 10 most recent jobs.
  2. Add FAQ answers to the roof replacement page.
  3. Ask the manufacturer to confirm the certified-installer listing.
