Customers decide whether to trust your business in roughly seven seconds. They almost never tell you what tipped them either way.

The seven-second checklist

  • Real photos of real people
  • Specific outcomes, not vague claims
  • A clear, professional voice
  • Working contact paths — WhatsApp, email, calendar
  • Recent activity (case studies, articles, dates)
