Your small business website is your digital storefront. In Ireland, where customers often research online before buying locally, having the right content on your site is key to winning trust, ranking on Google, and converting visitors.
1. A Clear Value Proposition
The first thing visitors should understand is what you offer, who it’s for, and why they should care — in under 5 seconds.
Tip: Add a bold heading like “Affordable Web Design for Irish Startups” right near the top of your homepage.
2. Local Trust Signals
Irish customers love to support local. Show that you're based in Ireland with a local phone number, .ie domain, and mentions of your service area (e.g. “Serving Cork, Limerick, and Galway”).
Bonus: Add “Registered in Ireland” or a CRO number in the footer.
3. Mobile-Friendly Design
Over 60% of Irish website traffic comes from phones. Your site must load fast, display well on mobile, and have easy-to-click buttons and contact options.
4. Contact Details Front and Centre
Don’t bury your contact info in the footer. Add it to the top header and homepage — phone, email, and preferably a contact form.
Tip: Include a map if you have a physical location.
5. Customer Testimonials
Social proof is powerful. Even one or two quotes from happy Irish clients can boost trust.
Tip: Ask your customers to leave reviews on Google and embed them directly on your site.
6. Services or Products with Descriptions
Be specific. List your services or product range with short explanations, pricing (if possible), and visuals. People scan quickly — make it easy to understand.
7. About Page with a Personal Touch
Irish customers like to know who they’re dealing with. Share your background, why you started the business, and what makes you different.
Optional: Include a photo of yourself or your team.
8. Booking or Contact Form
Don’t rely only on phone calls. A contact form, callback request, or simple quote form encourages action from shy or busy visitors.
9. SEO Essentials
Each page should have a proper title, meta description, keyword-friendly headings, and fast loading speed. It’s what helps your site appear on Google.ie.
10. A Blog or Resource Section
Want to rank higher and earn trust? Share advice. It doesn’t need to be fancy — a few posts with helpful tips (like this one) will show expertise and help SEO.
