💻 The Website Basics Google Rewards (Even a One-Pager)

What your website must say for Google to connect it to your listing and rank you in the blue links: title, town, services, structured data, speed.

The title and the town

Your page title should say what you do and where: 'Hair Salon in Mandeville — Braids, Cuts & Colour | Name'. Put the town in the first paragraph. Most Jamaican sites say 'Welcome to our website' and rank for nothing.

One page per service

A page for each thing people search — 'braids Mandeville', 'colour Mandeville' — beats one page listing everything. Each page: title, a few honest paragraphs, prices, photos, a WhatsApp button.

Speed, mobile, and the invisible layer

Under three seconds on a phone (test at pagespeed.web.dev). Structured data — the machine-readable layer that tells Google and AI assistants 'this is a business, here, with these hours and reviews'. Every Ezy site ships with it; on other builds ask for 'LocalBusiness schema'.

Link it all together

Website → Business Profile → website. Same name, address, phone everywhere (NAP consistency). Mismatches confuse Google and cost rankings.

✅ Do this now — step by step

  1. Rewrite your homepage title to say what you do and where: 'Hair Salon in Mandeville — Braids, Cuts & Colour | Name'.
  2. Put your town in the first paragraph and your address, phone and hours in the footer, exactly as on Google.
  3. Create one page per service you want to be found for, each with a title, honest paragraphs, prices, photos and a WhatsApp button.
  4. Test speed at pagespeed.web.dev on mobile; if you're over 3 seconds, compress images or ask for a rebuild.
  5. Add LocalBusiness structured data (every Ezy site ships with it; otherwise ask your developer) and link the site from your Business Profile and back.

⚠️ Mistakes to avoid

🇯🇲 How it plays out in Jamaica

Ways Car Rental's page titles name the vehicle and 'Montego Bay'; each car has its own page with prices and a booking button. It appears in both the map box and the blue links for 'car rental Montego Bay' — twice on page one.
