Headway in Midland

I graded 541 Midland business websites. Here is what I found.

I run ShoreGrade, the public report card for this region's business websites, and I fix what it finds: web design, missed calls, systems that don't talk, and senior technology judgment without the full-time hire. All of it starts with a free hour in your Midland business.

The most common problems are not exotic. Of the 541 Midland sites graded:

26% have no meta description, the one line Google shows under a search result.
24% have no main heading, so search engines cannot tell what the page is about.
14% have no favicon, the small icon browsers and Google show beside the name.
