  For a business that is the 'best', then the less is more principal could / should apply to all that text.

  Got to say that took my eye as well. There's no delicate way to put this - your not the best in your region. Why on earth would you make a claim like that?

  I have to agree with Dave not a good advert for a company.

  I can't imagine what use this on the bottom of the page,

  Having already declared that you are the 'best', why this text on your 'About us ' page

  With over 30 years in the landscaping business we are no strangers to this industry, delivering quality time and time again, don't just take our word for it, ring or email us for a quote and were sure you will not be disappointed.

  were should be 'we are'
  

  Your 'about us' pages fails, it tells us nothing more than you tell us on the front page.

  I doubt anyone in the photo in the 'About Us' section has 30 years experience!

  I agree with most people, you should cancel all these websites, everything, delete it all, and have just one site. Are you set up with various company names/bank accounts/registered with Companies House as several different businesses? If not, you're calling yourself the ONeill 'group'. Makes me a bit confused.

  On the home page you have a contact form. i think this should be in the contact us page, also i personally HATE the part where you have to enter the two words to prove your human, not unique to your site i know but i cant stand them. 

  Also someone else has mentioned the photo in the about us page, i notice no uniforms? i think this looks unprofessional, and they do all look young, little bit like a holiday snap.

  But im no expert

  Just a point on your price for brush cutting, is that the normal price for this service?  £45 call out then £75 per hour?  If so i need to get me one of those

   

  thats as for as i have got for now,

  Craig that price doesn't relate to brushcutting, it's wood chipping. I assume Benjamin has a big expensive chipper if it takes up to 15", the prices must account for this equipment cost so it sounds reasonable as it also includes waste disposal.

  Craig Downey February 18, 2012 at 7:28pm

  fare enough... i have never done this type of work so not sure what it normally costs

  Hello dave to put it simply its an advertising technique, when a person looks for companies to get quotes from they on average get 3 so a company stating that they are the best are more likely through sheer curiosity, most companies say professional but people see that all the time nowadays people want more out of a company so simply stating the best makes you stand out, just a note this is not the case in all situation there are loads of companies stating there the best, they most of the time are not, but they do stand out of the crowd that bit extra.

  Hello Rhianne thank you for the advice, when a potential client looks a the homepage of a website i see one thing, if that page fails to give enough infomation within 30 seconds they leave, so far my website statistics show me that, when people leave my website they dont leave from the homepage they usually leave from the contact us page or an imformation page, so that shows me that my homepage is working, drawing people in and keeping them, gaining the imformation then leaving i have had 4 jobs from my website since i first being published 2 being long term contracts and 2 being one off jobs, so in my book i must be doing somethink right. 

  I am aware that google frowns on repetitive text in multiple webpages, but i am also aware that if cleverly done can boost your traffice alot.

  I have to agree, there is far too much on the homepage.

  I wondered if you know that having multiple websites originating from the same business is frowned on by Google.

  You will have to be extremely careful in creating content that is not duplicated.

  Have fun ..... it'll be extremely time-consuming to keep multiple websites fresh, that's for sure!
