WEBSITE CHECK FOR CONCRETERS
Driveways, paths and slabs are quoted jobs. See whether your website makes asking for a quote easy on a phone.
Job type, suburb and rough size up front saves a round of phone tag.
Large image files are the most common reason a page is slow to show.
List them in text. A map picture alone tells Google nothing.
GETTING AHEAD OF THE OTHERS
Concreting is quoted work, and the customer is usually collecting two or three quotes for a driveway, a slab or a path. The website that makes asking easy, and shows finished jobs like theirs, tends to get the first site visit.
Job type, suburb, rough square metres and access for a truck. Those four answers let you reply with a real next step.
Plain, exposed aggregate, coloured, stamped. Customers search for the finish, and a photo under each heading shows you do it.
Site visit, quote, booking, pour, and how long before they can drive on it. A short timeline settles first-time customers.
As text, by suburb or council area. A picture of a map alone gives Google nothing to read.
It’s the free listing with your name, hours and reviews that shows in Google Search and Maps. Keep your name, number and areas the same there as on your website, and link the two.
Send the customer your review link the day you finish. Real reviews only: fake or paid ones break Google’s rules and Australian consumer law.
TEN MINUTES, YOUR OWN PHONE
The free check measures speed, search basics and security. These are the things only you can test.
CONCRETERS ASK
Only if you’re comfortable holding to it. A “from” range with what changes it (access, thickness, finish) is a fair middle ground, and leaving prices off is fine if asking for a quote is easy.
A simple, fast, one-page site with your services, areas and number is enough for a builder or their client to see you’re a real business. It doesn’t need to be big.
Google’s phone speed test counts 90 or more as good and under 50 as poor. On 12 November 2026 we measured 13 Melbourne concreters’ websites. At least half scored 62 or more on the phone speed test, and 2 scored 90 or more. See the scoreboard. Scores move a few points between runs, so go by the pattern rather than one number.
Not on its own. A fast site takes away a reason to give up and ring someone else, and it gives everything else on this page a better chance of being seen. The work still has to be good, and no website check measures that.
