hahahaha. I see it now. My main problem is getting the pictures to appear properly, and then also look good on mobile. gah, tweaking the aspect ratio and tweaking and placement gets so tedious.

Have you submitted your sitemap to Google? Have you had Googlebot crawl your site for errors? Have you run a mobile compatibility test?
ALL these things are imperative before you pay for any âboosterâ claim products.
I meant to add - the top of your site looks modern and clean, the âcall to actionâ is well placed.
âŚit just seems to get worse as you scroll. The colors, the inverted block text etc.
Having all the pics just load up like that will slow-load on some phones etc and so Google WILL de-rank you in preference to a faster loading site (competitor) which conforms to mobile standards.
One pic, linked to a gallery would be much better.
Are you using the correct view ports or do you have a fixed desktop resolution?
Iâve learned a lot since I made my site, itâs functional and keyword heavy - but Iâm page one, rank one where I live, so Iâve no need to pretty it up.

I made this site over the holiday for something to do:
www.themassageman.com.au
Itâs much more modern than mine and took only a few hours to make.
(I linked some software on this post a few weeks ago)
You donât have to change any photo size, ever. Please do some research on âviewportsâ and then try and see how Wix supports viewports and make the changes 
Also, run a Google Mobile compatibility test from your Google Console. It will literally give you a pass or fail - and a list of what you need to do 
You canât ignore these things as no matter what keywords you use, how nice you get your site - Google wonât rank a fail site against a pass site.
Another tip, ALWAYS click through your site when you see how your are ranking. If you get friends to do it, get them to pause, look at a page and then click through to another one. Google will learn your bounce rate from quick visits and assume nobody is interested.

Steve is right, traffic is always overlooked for SEO. Facebook ads can get a lot of traffic to your site. Sometimes a Facebook ad campaign can be âsuccessfulâ just by getting a few hundred website visitors, even if conversion is low

I like the pictures right at the top. First thing I see. Yep. Pressure washing is a visual thing. I have a dirty house and I am imagining it clean. I go to your website and there are a bunch of pictures of dirty stuff coming clean. I instantly know Iâm in the right place.
Now for the bad news:
I donât know about all the SEO, but as a human, I feel like the words add nothing. Itâs filled with platitude after trite platitude, interspersed with cliche buzz words.
Your mission is to be the best? Yeah. No kidding.
You go above and beyond? Wow, thatâs original.
Literally nobody is looking for that garbage. Talk is cheap. That could be any company in the world.
Educate me. Share with me. Connect with me. Give me something to think about. Or just shut up.

Make your phone # at the top more visible/bolder & make it clickable to call. Add some more keywords and pages. First things I notice.

Thanks for the input. OUCH lol. I feel that, Iâm thinking of changing some of that to more along the lines of âwhat is house washing? well its blah blah blahâ
For SEO some of it is important, to get the keywords in their and still make it look like a sentence instead of âpressure washing services pearland house cleaning experts best deal huge savings residential power washing blah blah etcâ
I will be doing future editing on that thanks

Thanks for the tips! Yes i finnaly figured how to get search analytics running, and google search console and it ran some bots, and did some site map stuff( i am still learning, dont really know what any of that is) and it says its working well, no errors or anything. the booster was actaully FREE! And it worked, it came with my premium sub with wix.com. I checked out the directories and yep, I was added to about a dozen different sites, with a decent landing page and back links. Canât hurt I guess.
Yeah the text looks bad⌠I was trying stuff out. I will go back and do a re-vamp here soon, get rid of the block text. I also will see about having a gallery, but It doest seem to slow load too bad, at least I dont think so, and google hasnt reported anything.
I have no idea what view ports are⌠looks like its research time on that.
Thanks for the tips!

No worries. Google console is very important.
Basically, you submit your site map. Then have google crawl both your desktop and mobile site. Submit them both for indexing.
Be aware, you only get a fixed amount of submissions per month, but you do have to crawl the site if you make changes. (Text, pages, pictures - anything)
Itâs a balance while you are making your site, but you donât have to do it anymore once you are happy with it.

Oh, the viewportsâŚ
Basically they are for different screen resolutions like phones, tablets and desktops.
A proper viewport setup will remove objects and rearrange things for different screen sizes. Not just squash the same info onto a smaller page.
If youâre mobile friendly, thatâs great - but it might change as google are preferring mobile to desktop these days. Keep an eye on it
A quick example would be my old website, it is a squashed version of my desktop site. Still mobile friendly, but doesnât look good on a phone compared to a proper viewport setup like my massage website.
Look at both and youâll seeâŚ
