Your site still lists a service you no longer offer.

Strangers book work from stale service pages. Match the live offer list to Google and the truck, or keep turning down jobs you quit.

Someone finds your site and books the job you used to take. You dropped that work last year. The page still says yes.

They are not wrong. Your site told them you still do it.

The live menu and the site should match

You know what you take. Your truck knows. Google categories should too. The stranger only has the page.

If Services still lists fence repair, water heaters, or commercial roofs after you quit those jobs, you get calls and forms for work you'll turn down. That wastes their time. It also makes every other claim on the site feel soft.

Same problem with a dropdown, a homepage strip, or a Google Business category that still advertises the old offer.

Pull the page. Then check the three places people land

Delete or rewrite the service page the same week you stop taking the work. Don't wait for a redesign.

Then walk the rest of the trail with a phone in hand.

  • Homepage list of what you do
  • Menu and footer links
  • Google categories and short description
  • Lettering on the truck or van when it still names the trade

If one place still says yes and another says no, strangers trust neither. They call the shop whose list already matches the truck.

Say what you still take. Say what you stopped

You don't need a long apology. One clear line is enough. We no longer offer X. We still take Y and Z in Clovis and Fresno. Point them to the live pages.

If a partner or another shop now handles the old work, say that only when it is true and named. Vague redirects feel like a brush-off.

Fix the list. Then stop decorating

New colors won't fix a service you quit. A short, true offer list and a fat call button will.

Open the site once a month. Ask one question. Would I book myself for something I no longer do. If the answer is yes, take that line down today.

If you want a site whose services stay honest without becoming another night project, talk with Hexacomb. You run the business. We take care of your website.

What should the site be bringing in?

New business, or one whose website went quiet. Say what you do, the towns you cover, and drop the link if you have one. I write back from Clovis, usually within a day. The first note is about your jobs, not a list of packages.
