Service area checker: how it should work on your website

Ways to build it

The visitor journey
Step by step, and what the website must do
- 1

Matching is forgiving of spelling and accepts postcodes.
- 2
Sees whether they are covered
The answer is a clear yes, no or "call us", not a vague map.
- 3
Continues to quote or booking
Covered visitors go straight to the next step with their location filled in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a map enough?
A map helps, but many people cannot tell from a map whether their street is covered. A direct check is clearer.
What about edge-of-area jobs?
Offer a "call us" answer for areas you sometimes cover, so those jobs are not lost.
Do we need a page for every suburb?
Not by default. A page earns its place when you have something specific to say about that area; otherwise the checker covers it.
