This isn’t “my opinion vs your current provider.” This is a neutral way to open trusted third-party tools and compare two URLs side by side:
Your role: drive the mouse, click calmly, and translate the reports into simple language.
| Area | Current Site | Your Build |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile speed | Lower scores | Higher scores |
| On-page structure | Messy / inconsistent | Clear headings & hierarchy |
| Dog-friendly / local signals | Not obvious to Google | “Dog bar in Chandler” made explicit |
| Future changes | Locked to current provider | You can iterate & adjust quickly |
Then you say: “Let’s verify each of these claims using tools that neither of us own.”
The only reason the new version doesn’t currently outperform the official site on Google search results is because it is not the primary domain. Google heavily favors:
Your rebuilt version is currently on a temporary test domain, which has:
Because of this, Google cannot treat it as the “real” site yet. That’s the only reason it won’t appear higher in search — not because of its quality.
Once the official domain points to the rebuilt site, it inherits:
– the ranking
– the authority
– the backlinks
– the history
– the Google Business profile
– the Maps listing
and immediately outperforms the current version.
This is Google’s own lab test. Use it to show mobile & desktop performance, Core Web Vitals, and basic SEO checks.
Under the hood, this just opens https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=YOUR_URL in a new tab. You can say: “This is Google’s tool, not mine. Let’s see what it says about both versions.”
These are trusted third-party tools. You paste both URLs into them and they generate the reports. That way, the choice is based on outside data, not just what you say.
Google’s official page for checking mobile/desktop speed and Core Web Vitals. You can run both URLs here if you want to stay inside this UI.
Shows load time, waterfall, blocking resources, and detailed Lighthouse metrics. Great for showing “what’s slowing this down.”
One-click SEO grade with clear issues & suggestions: on-page, technical, mobile, and off-page signals.

Script you can use: “Let’s put your current site and my rebuilt version into these tools. Whichever one consistently scores better is the one we should point your official domain to.”
You can literally walk through this step-by-step while you click:
That keeps the conversation calm, fair, and data-driven — and makes it much easier for them to say yes without feeling like they’re “choosing sides.”
