TOD Consulting Engineers

Regional civil and structural engineering consultancy on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, providing design, remedial works and project management to local councils, builders, developers and infrastructure clients.

Strong regional engineering reputation, but credentials are hidden from procurement decision-makers.

TOD Consulting Engineers has built a respected technical reputation on the Sunshine Coast, with ISO 9001 certification, industry awards and RPEQ and CPEng registrations noted on the About page. Those credentials and a 5.0 Google rating are real assets, but they are buried below the hero and low-contrast, so busy procurement leads and builders cannot verify competence quickly. As a result, shortlist placements and qualified enquiries are being lost even though external links and referrals exist.

UX OBSERVATIONS

Hero image and headline prioritise ambience over competence, reducing immediate perception of technical capability and delaying buyer judgement.

Credibility assets such as testimonials, award claims and an ISO badge are present but visually de-emphasised, so they fail to convert credibility into procurement confidence.

No primary CTA or clear next step in the hero or topfold, creating friction for visitors who are ready to engage and forcing them to hunt for contact or proof points.

What this means:

With roughly 13 organic visits per month and an authority score of 8, very few procurement leads are finding the site and even fewer see the proof they need to shortlist you. At the same time the site has 391 backlinks and a 5.0 rating, but buried credentials and no clear topfold contact mean decision-ready buyers drop out before converting.

The three gaps holding you back

  • Credibility is not front-of-mind. Your ISO9001 certificate, multiple industry awards and registered/chartered engineers are documented on the About page but are visually de-emphasised and buried below the hero, so a busy procurement lead cannot verify competence quickly; this reduces shortlisting and trust-based enquiries.
  • No obvious next step for buyers. There is no primary call-to-action in the hero or topfold and contact paths require hunting, so decision-ready buyers and project managers drop out before converting despite the site having Google Analytics and clear service listings.
  • Service breadth lacks sector-specific proof. Civil, structural, remedial and project management services are listed, but sector-relevant case evidence and quantified outcomes are scattered and low-contrast, which forces buyers to infer fit rather than see clear examples matched to council, builder or developer needs.

What's possible when these gaps are closed

  1. Highlight credentials so procurement verifies instantly

    Make ISO 9001, awards and RPEQ/CPEng status immediately visible in the topfold so procurement officers can confirm competence within seconds. Presented alongside your 5.0 Google rating and 171 referring domains, this will materially increase shortlist placements by turning passive reputation into verifiable proof.

  2. Turn browsers into immediate, qualified enquiries

    Add a single primary call to action in the hero, such as Request a Project Brief or Start a Prequalification, so builders and project managers have a clear next step. With about 13 organic visits per month and 26 in the latest month, even small uplifts in on-site conversion will deliver more qualified leads to feed your local pipeline.

  3. Show sector-specific outcomes so buyers see fit

    Create three to five focused case pages for councils, builders and developers that highlight quantified outcomes and project scope so visitors do not have to infer fit. Targeted pages will help recover lost keyword visibility after the drop from 166 to 110 keywords and make the existing 391 backlinks and 171 referring domains work harder for relevant enquiries.
