Leak map

Fix order
A practical 1-2-3 priority list: what to repair first, what can wait, and what is not worth buying yet.
Operator notes
DNS, hosting, email, analytics, schema, sitemap, and ownership issues translated into simple risk flags.
Interactive sample lens
Website 68
Finding: Visitors should know who you help, where you work, and how to contact you before they scroll.
Fix: Sharpen the hero, repeat the CTA, and place service-area proof above the fold.
Google 72
Finding: Profile categories, service language, photos, reviews, and website pages have to reinforce the same promise.
Fix: Clean categories, add service proof, and route profile visitors to the right landing page.
Lead path 54
Finding: The form can exist and still be untrusted if delivery, fallback contact, and ownership are unclear.
Fix: Verify inbox delivery, add direct fallback language, and document who owns follow-up.
Ownership 81
Finding: Domains, DNS, analytics, forms, hosting, and access should never live in a mystery vendor box.
Fix: Map the stack, flag lock-in, and keep the business in control of critical accounts.

Local Visibility Audit
Prepared by Tim Gelhardt · Southern Oregon Web
Website clarity
68Main offer is real, but the first mobile screen asks visitors to think too hard.
Google profile
72Categories and photos need to line up with the services people actually search for.
Lead path
54Form exists, but delivery proof, fallback email, and follow-up ownership are unclear.
Trust proof
61Reviews and testimonials are scattered instead of placed where decisions happen.
Fix the mobile CTA and make the service area obvious above the fold.
Contact form exists, but ownership and delivery path are not documented.
Repair the lead path first, then tune Google profile and service-page signals.
THE TIM READOUTTim Gelhardt
Klamath Falls operator. 23 years inside real IT systems.
Founder diagnostic
I look at your site like a
system, not a brochure.
Tim Gelhardt reads the whole chain: search result, Google profile, homepage promise, service page, proof, contact form, inbox delivery, and ownership. The audit names the leak before anyone sells you a rebuild.
Where trust leaks
Vague offers, weak proof, buried CTAs, slow pages, thin service pages, and mismatched Google signals.
What is technically risky
DNS, email, hosting, forms, analytics, schema, access ownership, and vendor lock-in.
What to fix first
The smallest repair that improves calls, confidence, or ownership before buying a bigger package.
Local proof wall
Receipts beat agency fog.
The site now shows the operating system behind the work: performance checks, owned contact paths, schema, service pages, audit findings, and proof that can be verified instead of vibes that have to be trusted.
Verification log
✓ HTTP 200 live domain
✓ Schema present
✓ Sitemap generated
✓ Contact path owned
✓ CLS 0
✓ Accessibility 100
RACK WORK
Hands on the network, not a stock-photo laptop.
Real small-business IT work: cabling, rack cleanup, documentation, and systems thinking before the marketing layer gets sold.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Clean wiring is the same discipline as clean websites.
A local visibility system should be understandable, labeled, and owned — the digital version of a rack you can trace without guessing.
OPERATIONS
Server rooms taught the operator habits.
DNS, email, forms, hosting, backups, access, and monitoring are operations problems first. The website is only one piece of the chain.
LIVE BUILD
Next.js 15 + Vercel
Static pages, service routes, schema, sitemap, and owned contact infrastructure.
DELIVERY
Contact path tested
The form is treated like operations plumbing, not a decorative box.
SEARCH
Metadata + schema
Every page has a clear purpose, local signal, and crawlable structure.
SPEED
Measured after launch
Photo warmth stays, but performance gets checked against real Lighthouse data.
OWNERSHIP
No vendor fog
Domains, DNS, email, forms, hosting, and analytics belong in the handoff.
TRUST
Proof compounds
Reviews, screenshots, before/after notes, and audit findings become visible receipts.
Clean site, but generic proof and a checklist-style hero.
Diagnostic dashboard, local photography, service landing pages, and live verification.
Real client proof and deeper case studies as the first projects ship.
Before / After / Fixed
Make the value visible before the sales call.
The work is not just prettier pages. It is a cleaner local system: search signal, trust proof, mobile decision path, contact delivery, and ownership.
Vague brochure site
Generic promise, buried CTA, no local authority path, and proof scattered away from the decision.
Lead-ready local system
Clear offer, audit CTA, service pages, Klamath Falls authority, blog signals, FAQ schema, and owned contact path.
The leak map gets visible
Customers see what is checked, why it matters, and how Tim finds the cleanest first repair before a rebuild.
