Should I be excited with 35 clicks a month and 1 lead?

• 
  Richard Hearne: Page 1 for what query? What position on page 1?
  
  Your very popular business on Yelp may be part of the reason you have nothing to your own site. Yelp are there to help Yelp, and much of that comes at the expense of the customers they have.
  
  If you wont share details then you`re wasting your own time and everyone else`s. Nobody can give you objective advice without those details.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne so you think I should post my small business with thousands of strangers all over the world?
• 
  Richard Hearne: Huh? I don`t know of many businesses that do so well lurking in the shadows. You come here looking for free advice, so have a modicum of common sense please. If you cant share details then all you`re effectively doing is having a rant.
  
  If you do share details you`re likely to get some response.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne well, I did do that like 5 years ago or something.
• 
  Richard Hearne: Oh. Let me check my notes from 5 years ago... Nope, sorry nothing there...
• 
  Jim Carroll: David Gizzarelli Aren`t you trying to get your site seen by more people?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Jim Carroll https://mobilefurnitureassemblynow.com
• 
  David Gizzarelli: I’ve had this domain for 10 years. It’s my main source of income. I get no emails, no text messages, no phone calls from this website. a few call a month from Yelp, no leads at all from Facebook or Twittter
• 
  Larry Spencer: Your website doesn`t look like a legitimate business. At least to me. You have no menu. There is no reason anyone would want to go any further than the first page. The color red is probably the least welcoming color that you could choose, in my opinion. There are no explanation of what you do other than the headline. No explanation of who you are. I see a lot of problems with user experience on you site
• 
  Suraj Gadage: David Gizzarelli without looking at the site its very difficult to understand and tell you what could be wrong. PM me if you want to provide more details or perhaps have a call to understand things better.
• 
  Richard Hearne: I`m going to bite and answer based on the info you`ve provided:
  
  >> So, I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I still get no calls, text messages, or emails from my website directly.
  
  How easy is it for visitors to find your contact details? Do you have a Local Business account set up correctly? How do you track where phone calls, emails etc. originate? How can you be sure nobody contacts you via your site?
  
  >> I’m on the fist page of Google.
  
  For what? Is it at all relevant? Is it`s your brand, does anyone know your brand to search for it? Are you sure you rank for non-personalized results? Have you confirmed that you rank for third parties?
  
  >> Why not one lead a month?
  
  How many leads do you get via Yelp per month?
  
  >> State of the Art MVC Website.
  
  Do you understand that MVC is something that works on your server, and has little or no impact on how Google or users might view your site?
  
  Does your site work on mobile? Is it a Responsive Web Design? Does it load quickly? How are you testing this?
  
  >> Should I be excited the next 10 yrs that I got 35 clicks a month and 1 lead?
  
  Really depends on what you`re selling. That 1 lead could be worth $10 or $1M.
  
  >> Can someone help me? I appreciate your comments, but everything seems to be in code.
  
  SEO isn`t only about code. It`s also about content, and links from other sites amongst other things.
  
  >> Does anyone here know anything about SEO?
  
  Sarcasm No, we`re all scammers helping for free for the voyeuristic benefits of doing so.
  
  >> Does anyone here want to help me?
  
  Yes, share more details. Use an URL shortener if you don`t want to put your URL in open view.
  
  >> I really don’t want to share anything publicly,
  
  Sigh.
  
  >> but I feel like my very popular business on yelp should have some of its own organic leads?
  
  Define "popular"?
  
  >> Oh, and also I found out this week that my website is listed on 6 different blacklist websites.
  
  What on earth is a "blacklist site"?
  
  >> One of them is getting 234 reports in the last month, 24 reports every 24 hours and I can’t remove it.
  
  Reports of what?
  
  >> Is there some authority that can help me?

• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne there are buttons on every page and a request a quote page
• 
  Richard Hearne: Even in that small screenshot it hurts my eyes. See my comments below.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne that’s my brand
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne I’ve seen much worse looking websites. I like the pictures filled with SEO also
• 
  Richard Hearne: OK, please don`t be offended. Your site design hurts my eyes. You have strong CTAs prompting people to view your various reviews, and being honest I`d do anything other than stay on your site.
  
  You look utterly unprofessional based on the site. I don`t suggest you are anything but professional - I only report back what my subjective view is based on your site. When people arrive on your site they will make a subjective determination on whether they want to stay or not within about 2-3 SECONDS. What I see in 2-3 seconds is something I do not want to look at any longer.
  
  On the SEO side - you`ve got some classic keyword stuffing down towards the foot of your homepage. That`s all I need to see.
  
  I quick review of what Google has indexed shows that you have a cookie-cutter set-up with pages for major localities. I`m going to hazard without visiting those pages that they don`t offer any addition value, and that your reason for setting them up was SEO. Terrible decision if so.
  
  A crawl of your site gets me 10 pages. So all the other stuff is orphaned from your internal architecture.
  
  If you want to do well, hire some professionals to build out a proper site, with proper content. Just like you wouldn`t want an SEO to assemble furniture, I wouldn`t want a furniture assembler to build a website. I`m guessing this has happened in your case? Don`t take this the wrong way - I`m not trying to be personal here. But your web presence is poor at best, and if you ask for objective reviews of it I think you`ll get many responses just like mine.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne Thanks. Now go look at my competitors websites. I don’t think there is anything wrong with my website. The colors are part of my brand and the pages are fairly simple. Nothing complicated or messy at all. All the SEO is 10 years of reading, watching videos, and getting advice from this group. I’ll wait for other opinions.
• 
  Richard Hearne: You can believe yourself, or you can believe someone who has nothing to gain telling you the truth. There`s no point in giving you any more advice if you`re simply going to ignore it. Sorry.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne I think you’re a CMS junkie that doesn’t understand all the code and security built into this website from scratch.
• 
  Richard Hearne: Wow. You know nothing about me. Based on your response I expect you also have very little understanding of web technologies. Stick to the furniture. If you want to do better with your web presence you need let down your guard a little, and take constructive criticism for what it is. You can choose to learn and progress or ignore and stagnate. Which you choose makes no difference to me.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne I guess this group doesn’t add much value, because everything I’ve learned in this group is in that website, advice I’ve been given, and questions answered. even if you don’t like the colors and the buttons.
• 
  Richard Hearne: You get what you pay for. Are you assembling furniture for free?
• 
  Jim Munro: David Gizzarelli You`ve just botched an interview with one of the smartest SEO`s in the world. If I were you, I would attempt to re-engage in the faint hope that he might be still interested. For what it`s worth Richard hates my site/s too. :) Also, for what it`s worth, I have read out every one of the thousands of questions ever asked on DSQ and I can vouch that not one of them was concerning site design and never in any case has our panel offered guidance on site design, even back in those heady days when Andy Wigglesworth was available to join our panel.
• 
  Richard Hearne: And just for anyone else who might read this - I can say with 100% confidence nobody here advised you to keyword stuff your homepage or to build out doorway pages on your site. Please don`t try to project your failings on the people here who try to help others.
• 
  Andy Wigglesworth: Hey Jim thanks for the mention :)
  
  David if you are genuinely interested in where your page is failing on design / clear CTAs (call to actions) and other tips then I`ll be happy to explain, but I fear you are already very protective of what you have produced and not willing to accept criticism.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Jim Munro my seo matches everything I’ve learned, read, and advice I’ve been given here. People hate my website, but I don’t think it’s my customers. They want furniture assembly and all they have to do is click a button that says Call Text Email. I thinks there is something else going on. Like no one is seeing the website at all, and it’s buy design.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Andy Wigglesworth I have four buttons in bright red that say Call Text Email. What more CTA do I need? Yet, no one in this thread has tried to call text or email me to see if it even works 🤔
• 
  Richard Hearne: David Gizzarelli Do you mean to say that these features might not even work? I thought you incorporated all sorts of incredible technology and security into this site? The buttons might not work you now say?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne ok. Thanks for all your help and advice. So far the biggest advice I’ve received is “Your colors are too bright”
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne I’ve tested everything, but everyone here is soo much more intelligent than me, so I’m waiting for the big reveal. “Your colors are too bright”.
• 
  Andy Wigglesworth: David Gizzarelli I did press the buttons to be fair, but I am on my laptop - the buttons work different to laptop vs mobile
  
  I didn`t feel the need to test your contact form?
• 
  Richard Hearne: David Gizzarelli did you even read what I took time to write?

• 
  David Gizzarelli: Andy Wigglesworth i get an email when I email myself, yes. I’ve also done SMTP tests. It says there’s nothing wrong, but I’m not sure if I believe it.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne do you see the structured data in the keywords, that describe my offerings and services? I know it looks like keyword stuffing, but those are also the services that I offer.
• 
  Richard Hearne: David Gizzarelli Do you mean the gibberish you have in plain view above your footer:
  
  "Chair Assembly, Desk Assembly, Dining Table Assembly, Tv Stand Assembly, Sofa Assembly, Couch Assembly, Bed Assembly, Loft Bed Assembly, Canopy Bed Assembly, Platform Bed Assembly, Wall Bed Assembly, Murphy Bed Assembly, Dresser Assembly, Wardrobe Assembly, Armoire Assembly, Shed Assembly, Gazebo Assembly, Storage Cabinet Assembly, Outdoor Storage Assembly, Office Furniture Assembly, Vocal Booth Assembly, Call Booth Assembly, and Modular Office Assembly. Mobile Furniture Assembly Now can assemble all types of furniture."
  
  Your inner pages are thin content at best. You`ll make a good case study for how not to build a local business website.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne yes, those are my skills and services.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne they have structured data in them
• 
  Richard Hearne: And if you are referring to your schema set-up - it`s absolutely borked:
  
  https://search.google.com/structured.../testing-tool/u/0/...
• 
  Richard Hearne: David Gizzarelli that may well be, but did you put that there for visitors or for Google? Rhetorical question.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne Im aware of the image error, but the offerings and organization have no errors.
• 
  Richard Hearne: Oh FFS. No errors doesn`t mean that they actually provide anything useful. According to your schema the page is about 2 Organizations (1 your business, the other Yelp). You include a PostalAddress with no address details and 8 Localities. You have 2 OfferCatalogues, one of which is promotional text. THe ItemListElement should have an item, but again has promo text. You use "name" for each service. In one of the OfferCatalogues you have "assembly" and "disassembly" as products/services.
  
  I could go on and on. I`ve created structured data strategies for sites with 500M+ URLs. What you have there is of limited or no use for SEO. You`ll probably tell me I`m wrong again. I`ll reply that I don`t particularly care. Free advice. Take it or leave it.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: so no one thinks it’s odd that I have this webpage on the first page of google for furniture assembly san francisco and no one is clicking the bright red buttons on every page? Do you mean to tell me that everyone is clicking on Taskrabbit and ads from the billion dollar corporations?
• 
  Richard Hearne: Take off the Yelp and other review site links for a week and see if it makes any difference. Why would anyone stay on your site when they can just hop onto Yelp, which has a decent UX?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne you’re saying don’t steer them away. Steer them to Request a Quote
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne All my 35 clicks every 90 days
• 
  Richard Hearne: 35 clicks every 90 days, says you? Your site is shit. Plain speaking now. The good news is that if you set up a site designed to provide people with useful info I`m sure you can grow that to 35 clicks a day minimum.

  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne sigh

  David Gizzarelli: I just purchased another year of SSL. Ive implemented all kinds of security. This is Microsoft’s website with a few images.

  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne taskrabbit asks for 4-5 pages of information and you have register and CC to get a quote.
• 
  Richard Hearne: And what the heck is this shit: https://mobilefurnitureassemblynow.com/Account/Register
  
  I have to register an account to get a quote? Eh, no thinks. Nobody in their right mind is going to register an account with a third-rate website (no privacy policy etc.) just to ask you for a quote.
  
  I clicked "get a quote", not register all your details on my eye-burning website.
  
  Set up a form what asks for Name, Email/Phone, and inquiry.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne well I had the option to turn off registration in the past but that didn’t help much. plus I’d like to build my customer database? all the other websites ask for a credit card to get a quote.

  David Gizzarelli: someone asked what a blacklist website is https://www.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi
• 
  David Gizzarelli: I’m wondering if all the 227 reports going to this server are all the people trying to contact me
• 
  David Gizzarelli: my website was on 6 other blacklist sites, but I removed them recently
• 
  Richard Hearne: David Gizzarelli You need to contact your hosting company and see why their IP address is being listed like this. It could also be that your site is compromised, despite your best efforts at making it secure. This may or may not impact your SEO, but regardless of this security issue, your site still is not one that I think most people would find useful, trustworthy or relevant.
• 
  Stephanie Solheim: Richard Hearne has given you the best advice here. If you truly want to improve, you should listen to what he is telling you.
• 
  Tim Capper: Here is my two cents, but I am thinking its not going to be wanted.
  
  Your business is a local business but you have not concentrated on what actually happens in local search.
  
  You say you get about 35 clicks a month - have you considered that for a local search in San Fran for "furniture assembly" presents :
  
  Gmb listings using LSA (Google Guaranteed)
  Then a local pack
  
  After all of this, then only organic results are displayed.
  
  I am going to hazard a guess and say you really want to be focusing on GMB and Local.
  
  Taking a look at your GMB listing - your posts are kind of going down the road that you website has taken - a lot of keywords.
  
  Think of it this way - If you had a shop and a customer comes in and points to this product (https://posts.gle/kjpQNCvYK35dXUhD8) and all you could say to the customer was exactly what you wrote.
  
  Would you make the Sale ?
  
  There are a shed load pages that all redirect to your home page ?

  Richard Hearne: Your either a troll or a retard. It`s incomprehensible that you would reply that you have all these things. How many voices are telling you that you site is shite, and yet still you won`t hear it. I`m getting angry with myself for even trying to help now.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Larry Spencer It’s actually 148 clicks in 90 days. As you can see recent work has improved impressions, but not position. My position dropping so dramatically worries me. I think it was adding Google Image crawler and structured data
• 
  Larry Spencer: Your post said that you only have gotten 35 clicks in a month. 148 clicks in 90 days is not very good. As far as ranking, You have no site structure with very little content. That could be an issue
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Larry Spencer Taskrabbit has a rabbit, but someone doesn’t like my Panda. Do you guys hate my Title too! Does that suck too? What about the furniture images? Are those awful too? I guess I’ve been working on websites for 10 years solving errors, learning code and I have no idea wtf I’m doing.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Larry Spencer
• 
  David Gizzarelli: awful logo. just horrible.

  David Gizzarelli: I guess this doesn’t describe what I do. I guess this description has no information in it whatsoever
• 
  Scott Hendison: Nobody wants to "register" to get a quote. I`d turn that off. You can still collect email or phone, but "register" scares people away. Id also lose the "leave our site now" buttons, and show some actual reviews instead.
  Change the CTA buttons from red to green, add a `Tap to call", and add privacy and terms of service pages in the footer. Finally, you might want to remove all that spammy text at the bottom. Even if it does help ypu rank (which I dont believe), it looks pretty silly to users..
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Scott Hendison thanks, I’ll work on it. on a side note though, if what you say is true, is everyone leaving taskrabbit, amazon, takl, and handy when they ask for a credit card to get a quote? i know I’m not these companies, I don’t have their clout?
• 
  Scott Hendison: David Gizzarelli Nor do you have their credibility & reputation (yet), so start slow... The less you ask for up front, they more inclined people are to trust you.
• 
  Neil Cheesman: David Gizzarelli - have you checked Google Search Console to see how much traffic you are getting to the website`s page(s) from the SERPS? - ie check impressions and also clicks.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman My impressions have recently improved
• 
  Neil Cheesman: Okay - then look at each individual search term which is getting the traffic (and whether on mobile or desktop) - no need to share that if you don`t want to... but you need to see what traffic is getting there and how...
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman so the high ranking keywords i need on my page is that correct?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman and the ctr
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman which key words from each column are the most important? clicks? impressions?
• 
  Neil Cheesman: `high ranking` maybe, maybe not... it IS the ones that are getting the clicks... but you can sort by impressions... and sort by clicks... and then look at the search words
• 
  Neil Cheesman: clicks are the ones you want to look at as these are the ones that are actually getting to your site
• 
  Neil Cheesman: and the highest volume clicks to start with, .. BUT.. user intent is also key...
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman ok and how can i improve the keywords that i want, but are not ranking as high?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman noted
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman i need to think what an average user would search for, not necessarily the obvious keywords, because everyone else is trying to get those results, does that sound?
• 
  Neil Cheesman: Okay... two scenarios to start with...
  And firstly, make use of the traffic that you are ALREADY getting!
  THIS is very low hanging fruit BUT they may be users with little to no buying intent... just browsing...
  1. traffic with keywords that for some reason Google is sending to a page BUT the content isn`t actually THAT relevant for the `search term`. Users arrive on the page and think wtf this isn`t relevant and they bounce back to the SERPS to try to find something more relevant... So, your choice is to make teh content more relevant and a call-to-action...
  2. Traffic IS arriving for a relevant key-phrase in terms of content but the users are not clicking anywhere... then you need to look at your content, layout, call-to-action etc as the users are not liking what they have found - for a number of reasons.
  A third option is that you are getting traffic that you might consider making another better page for - but I would go down this route after first exploring the above -
  ie... make use of the traffic you are already getting.
  IMHO
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman so I search for a tv stand and click and see a bed. that’s not good. but if I see a tv stand i might go further. so i would almost need some type of dynamic data to show for each visitor
• 
  Neil Cheesman: no, not dynamic data - the right content for multiple search terms...
  I have webpages with 1000 search terms that are generally ALL around the content of the page...
  Using this analogy "a tv stand and click and see a bed." It is hard to see why or how it could be ranking for both... but, obviously an example...
  rewind... see which search terms are bringing you traffic and does the content match closely (preferable) THAT SEARCH TERM...
• 
  Neil Cheesman: ps - while I wouldn`t say this is the be-all and end all it does have some useful points... ie what is the user intent... https://yoast.com/search-intent/
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman i’ll work on it. people tell me not to pay for seo so i’ll try to keep working on it. it’s sounds like i need an improved and detailed landing page
• 
  Neil Cheesman: ps - it is also well worth looking at stats on desktop and mobile via GSC
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman well it’s not tablets that’s for sure 😂
• 
  Neil Cheesman: I don`t profess to be an `seo expert` but have been online for about 15 years... so take my comments based on that... and be open to listen to constructive criticism from people who do make a living from seo...
  For me, I would look at the data that you already have... and try to interpret it.
• 
  Jim Munro: On second thoughts, maybe the business has no purpose in the short term. Consider that the world is undergoing ever-increasing lock-down severity, and only a rare few, if at all, would allow a stranger into their home, particular while they have all that free time available and they might value the distraction of having something to counter the boredom.

  Andy Wigglesworth: David Gizzarelli here is a very quick mock up (20mins) it has mistakes, spelling errors etc etc, but a bit of an example of the direction I would go, split your cta’s up a bit
  
  As said before, up to you what you do.
• 
  Richard Hearne: Andy Wigglesworth absolutely awesome, and I have to say if this guy comes back telling us all how perfect his site is I hope you claim copyright to your work and tell him he cant use it.
• 
  Andy Wigglesworth: Richard Hearne haha, I am sure he’ll have something to say
• 
  Larry Spencer: Andy Wigglesworth and Richard Hearne your patience is extraordinary. From a bystanders point of view and someone who is new (3-1/2 years) to SEO, thank you.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Andy Wigglesworth correct. You want my business to look like every other one page 20 minute mock-up so I’ll just look exactly like my competitors. A clone doing what everyone else is doing. Not settling myself apart.
• 
  Richard Hearne: And right on cue - gratitude for Andy Wigglesworth help. You are without a doubt the most ungrateful person I`ve come across in many moons. You reap what you sow, so good luck with your business.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne and you are the most rude and insulting person. I don’t have to be made fun of for my opinions. You make CMS webpages, I make business solutions. I appreciate the advice and your cloned expertise, but I have an opinion and I don’t appreciate being attacked over it.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Larry Spencer what does this image have to do with seo? I think you mean to compliment the ability to design a look that lacks originality, individual brand, and makes high use of stock images?
• 
  Larry Spencer: David Gizzarelli Whatever. You do whatever you want to do
• 
  Andy Wigglesworth: Yeah, I suppose you are correct... me taking 20 mins out of my day to help a complete stranger by trying to show how to separate his CTA`s and extend the page with further content and showing my lack of originality.
  
  it`s probably time to stop what I am doing with my 20+ years of experience, do some volunteer work, reflect a little on my existence a bit, maybe some yoga, try a different religion?
  
  Either way, good luck on your journey :)
• 
  Richard Hearne: Opinions are like arseholes - everyone`s got one. I certainly wouldn`t attack your opinion on furniture assembly, but your opinion on websites and web technologies blows donkeys.
• 
  Richard Hearne: Hey Andy Wigglesworth will we start a furniture assembly website focused on San Fran and see if we can rank better?
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne it’s quite funny because I never came here saying my ‘website’ was anything special. I shared a few photos this morning after taking some advice from this group and applying it, just hoping to share some progress. I’m not done. I’m still working on the website. You no longer have to register to request a quote. I removed the reds and images that seemed un-necessary. I thought we were working together here.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne as to my ranking? In San Francisco, my business name is on top of Yelp. For Furniture Assembly Im on the first page in the 4th position.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne
• 
  Richard Hearne: That`s some other-world black magic shit you got going on there. You should get into enterprise SEO. Pays very well. Leave furniture assembly behind. You`re a wizard at this SEO and interweb stuff.
  
  I went onto ikea.com and downloaded some assembly manuals earlier. I`m sure I`ll crack this sooner or later...
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne I don’t quite understand this comment, but I’m guessing it’s another petty insult.
• 
  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne so, after being talked into sharing my small business on this group, Yelp HQ has mysteriously removed my business listing from their search results. I have a feeling it`s something to do with the people in this group. Thank your for your help with SEO, sorry if you`re offended by my opinions. If you have done something to me, please don`t be a pussy and do it to my face so I can respond. Leaving this group of hackers, insults, and small business destroyers.
• 
  Richard Hearne: If you didn`t already know what type of business Yelp is, you do now. I`m very sorry for you if they have indeed removed your business.

  David Gizzarelli: Richard Hearne For the last five or six years my business has been the top hit on yelp for the search term furniture assembly I have always been on top.

I’ve done several searches I do not see my business name listed, though the business is still there

  Jim Munro: David Gizzarelli I think you have misunderstood. Andy has created and placed here a unique design for you. It`s not a publicly-available theme.

  Neil Cheesman: Just a quick follow up and I don`t wish to re-comment on things that others have commented on.
  The page speed site is a bit slow... via https://www.webpagetest.org/
  3+ secs - needs to ideally below 2 sec.
  And for me, this is crucial - IF users are visiting the website and not clicking then you have to consider USER INTENT - for this, you look at the search terms that people are using to get to the site - are they getting to the site and finding what they want or not...
  Re The Business Model
  I don`t know if things are different in other countries but in the UK if I buy something that needs self-assembly, then either a) I get the people that sold it to me to assemble it for free - within the cost or B) I do it myself and possibly C) I look online to see if anything can help... (usually Youtube) but just about everything I have ever bought comes with instructions or I get them. For me, there is no market for paying someone to come and assemble - but that is just me.
  So, when people arrive at your site - are they looking for help, just browsing etc...
  So, why are you not selling items?
  Or have a youtube channel with videos on `how to assemble` and monetize that channel (once you have the number of subscribers)
  To conclude, in this Covid 19 times - things are tough...

  David Gizzarelli: Neil Cheesman thanks, I also do handy work. My customers don’t want taskers, they want pros. But I’m trying to improve my CTA, so yea.
