A phone has a very short patience window.
On a small screen, a customer is trying to answer practical questions: Do you do what I need? Are you near me? Can I trust you? Are you open? How do I call or book?

- A visible call, booking, or quote action
- Services and service area explained in normal language
- Hours, reviews, and real proof before the visitor has to go digging
- Forms and buttons a human thumb can actually use
Mobile-first is not a checkbox.
