Selection before inspection
The sample was selected before scoring on October 19, 2026, Pacific time. We used the first eleven distinct commercial sites returned by combined San Diego and Sacramento towing-website discovery, excluding government and social results and the known family-connected RJ Towing business. We added four distinct commercial Phoenix results. Search ordering is a discovery artifact; it is not evidence of traffic, market share or quality. Some selected URLs are contact pages and others are homepages.
Observed page structure
The browser returned usable page data for 13 of 15 selected URLs. 10 had one or more tel: links in the rendered DOM; 4 had at least one form element. Two navigations timed out in the inspection environment and were excluded from both feature denominators. A form count can include search or newsletter controls. A telephone link may be hidden. Neither observation establishes that the contact route is usable, correctly routed or monitored.
| Observation | Count | Denominator |
|---|---|---|
| Selected landing pages | 15 | 15 selected |
| Usable observations | 13 | 15 selected |
| At least one tel: link | 10 | 13 usable |
| At least one form element | 4 | 13 usable |
| Navigation timeout | 2 | 15 selected |
What an owner can test next
For your own website, use this as a starting checklist: inspect the link destination, tap it on a phone without placing an unwanted call, confirm the intended business number, and trace the receiving route with your team’s permission. Test the form separately using an agreed test record. Check keyboard access and service-area wording. A page with no tel: link may still show a readable phone number; the coding observation alone does not justify calling the business unreachable.
Limits and reproducibility
Repeat the same chosen URL, viewport and observation definitions after a change. Keep timeouts separate from a negative feature finding. Our viewport was the existing desktop browser size recorded in the dataset, not a controlled mobile-device experiment. We made no calls, submitted no forms, measured no loading speed and verified no operator claims. The sample cannot estimate prevalence across the towing industry or show that one contact design produces more jobs.
Inspect the observation register
The downloadable register lists the selected and final URLs, the recorded viewport, feature presence and unavailable observations. It contains public-site references only. The worksheet below helps you reproduce the same limited checks on your own site.
