7 Website Tweaks to Improve Conversions This Summer

Danielle Speciale • June 22, 2025

Summer is peak season for many local businesses—from contractors and landscapers to med spas, pool companies, and HVAC pros. But if your website isn’t converting visitors into leads, you’re leaving money on the table.


At PS Digital, we help Long Island businesses turn their websites into lead-generating machines. Here are 7 high-impact tweaks you can make this summer to boost conversions, build trust, and grow your sales pipeline—without a full website overhaul.

1. Speed Up Your Site on Mobile

📱 Over 60% of traffic comes from mobile, and users won’t wait more than 3 seconds for your site to load.


Quick Fixes:

  • Compress large images (try TinyPNG or WebP format)
  • Minimize unused plugins or scripts
  • Enable browser caching and lazy loading


Pro Tip: Use Google PageSpeed Insights to find what’s slowing your site down.

2. Reposition Your Calls-to-Action (CTAs)

Your "Book Now," "Call Today," or "Get a Quote" buttons shouldn’t be buried. Clear, repeated CTAs help guide visitors toward taking action.


What to Do:

  • Add a CTA above the fold on every key page
  • Use contrasting colors to make buttons pop
  • Test new CTA copy: "Get My Free Estimate" may convert better than "Submit"

3. Refresh Your Lead Forms for Simplicity

A long or confusing contact form is a conversion killer. Summer is busy—make it easy for visitors to reach out. If your contact form has "optional" fields, this may decrease the changes they will actually complete them.


Tips:

  • Place form fills above the fold
  • Keep forms short: Name, Email, Phone, and Message is enough
  • Add a dropdown for “Type of Service” if needed


4. Add Trust-Building Content

Reviews, certifications, and recognizable logos reassure visitors they’re making the right choice.


Add to Your Pages:

  • Customer reviews (embed directly from Google or Facebook)
  • “As Seen In” or partner logos
  • Licenses, insurance, or accreditation badges
  • “Family-Owned Since…” timeline or story


Local angle: If you serve Long Island, mention your neighborhood presence: “Proudly serving Nassau and Suffolk County for over 15 years.”

5. Use Local Visuals Instead of Stock Photos

Generic stock photos make your site look impersonal. Authentic images of your team, company or behind the scenes build connection and credibility.


Try This:

  • Use photos of your team, trucks, or completed projects
  • Capture real customers (with permission) or local landmarks
  • Add seasonal photos—think green lawns, pools, patios for summer

6. Test Your FAQ Section With Schema

FAQs help with SEO and conversions. They reduce hesitation and qualify your leads—especially when structured correctly.


How:

  • Write clear answers to common questions (pricing, timeline, warranty)
  • Use FAQ Schema Markup so answers appear in Google results
  • Link to relevant service pages within answers for SEO benefit

7. Create Seasonal Landing Pages or Offers

If you offer services that spike in summer (A/C installs, pool openings, outdoor remodeling), create a dedicated landing page with a time-sensitive offer.


Landing Page Checklist:

  • Headline that includes the season (e.g., “Beat the Heat with Our Summer A/C Specials”)
  • Brief benefits list
  • Visual proof (photo or short video)
  • Trust signals + limited-time CTA (e.g., “Offer ends August 15”)

Small Tweaks, Big Results

Sometimes you don’t need a full website redesign to see more conversions. Just a few strategic changes—focused on speed, clarity, trust, and local relevance—can dramatically increase your leads.


And if you don’t have the time to test and implement all this yourself? That’s where we come in. PS Digital offers custom packages for full website redesigns and landing pages. At PS Digital, we help Long Island businesses turn browsers into buyers. If you’re ready for more summer leads without guesswork, let’s talk.

September on Long Island: Celebrating National Days and Local Events September is a special time on Long Island, where the last whispers of summer blend with the early hints of fall. It’s a month filled with opportunities for fun, community, and celebration. As we transition into autumn, it’s the perfect time for businesses to engage with their audiences by tapping into both national days and local events. Here’s a look at some of September’s highlights and how your brand can make the most of them. 1. National Self-Care Awareness Month (September) With the hustle and bustle of life, especially as kids head back to school and the holiday season approaches, self-care is more important than ever. September is National Self-Care Awareness Month, a perfect opportunity for brands to promote wellness. Whether you’re in the beauty, wellness, or health industry, this is the time to share tips, products, and services that encourage your audience to take time for themselves. On Long Island, this could also tie into local spa days, wellness retreats, or even quiet walks through the beautiful parks like Caleb Smith State Park Preserve. You can create content around local self-care spots or partner with nearby wellness centers for promotions. 2. Long Island’s Fall Festivals September on Long Island is synonymous with vibrant fairs and festivals that celebrate the changing seasons. The Long Island Garlic Festival at Garden of Eve Organic Farm in Riverhead is a favorite, offering a unique mix of garlicky goodness, local vendors, and family fun. The Long Island Fair at Old Bethpage Village Restoration is another must-visit, showcasing the region’s agricultural heritage with traditional games, crafts, and delicious fair food. These events provide a fantastic opportunity for businesses to get involved. Whether it’s through sponsorships, setting up a booth, or simply creating content around these local traditions, connecting your brand to these beloved events can boost your visibility and community engagement. 3. National Grandparents Day (September 8) Grandparents are the pillars of many families, and this day is dedicated to honoring them. If your brand has a family-oriented focus, consider creating a campaign that celebrates grandparents. Whether it’s through heartwarming stories, discounts, or special events, there’s a lot you can do to show appreciation. Why not encourage your followers to take their grandparents to one of Long Island’s picturesque spots? A day out in places like the Bayard Cutting Arboretum or a stroll along the Port Jefferson Harbor would make for perfect content and a special experience for families. September is a month brimming with opportunities, both nationally and locally, to engage with your audience. From celebrating self-care to diving into Long Island’s rich cultural events, there’s no shortage of ways to connect with your community and make a lasting impact.
