Streetlight Local Launches Call-First Websites Built for Contractors and Home Service Businesses

New “Website Lead Engine” system helps turn website visitors into phone calls with fast mobile performance, clear calls-to-action, strong proof, and consistent business info across the web.

Boston, MA, January 31, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Streetlight Local today announced a new website offering built specifically for local service businesses that rely on inbound calls—contractors, home services, and other appointment-driven operators.

Most small businesses already “have a website.” But if a homeowner can’t quickly confirm you’re legit, see what you do, and tap to call in seconds, that site isn’t helping you win jobs. Streetlight Local’s new Website Lead Engine focuses on the basics that drive real leads: fast mobile speed, clear click-to-call design, trust signals like reviews and job photos, straightforward service-area coverage, and tracking that ties website activity to real calls and inquiries.

“Most owners don’t need more marketing buzzwords—they need the phone to ring,” said Rich Sanger, Founder of Streetlight Local. “The Website Lead Engine is built around one idea: when someone checks you out, your site should make it easy to trust you and call you—right now.”

Why this matters right now
Homeowners move fast when they search. Google reports that 76% of people who search locally on a smartphone visit a business within 24 hours, and 28% of those searches result in a purchase. At the same time, speed and trust are make-or-break: Google also notes that 53% of mobile visits are abandoned if a site takes longer than three seconds to load. And before choosing a provider, many customers look for reassurance—Pew Research found 82% of U.S. adults at least sometimes read online reviews before purchasing something for the first time.

What Streetlight Local is launching
Streetlight Local’s updated service lineup includes four packaged tiers, with website-inclusive options built on a proven Streetlight layout for local service businesses. The company also offers an optional Website Care Plan for businesses that want a modern, high-performing site with ongoing maintenance and minor edits—without committing to a full ongoing SEO or Google Business Profile program.

The Website Lead Engine is designed to help local businesses:

Get more calls from the traffic they already have with click-to-call design and conversion-focused layouts

Build trust fast with reviews, job photos, proof elements, and clear service area coverage

Reduce lead leakage with simple forms, clear contact paths, and call/inquiry tracking

Stay consistent everywhere customers check by reducing confusion from mismatched business information

A trust-first approach to reviews
Streetlight Local emphasizes real customer feedback and reputation support—especially as regulators crack down on deceptive practices. In 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission finalized a rule banning companies from knowingly buying or selling fake online reviews, reflecting the growing importance of trustworthy reputation signals for consumers.
