Not technical? Start here. Copy this prompt into ChatGPT or Claude (the free versions work) and it walks you through the whole guide, one step at a time, in plain English. It asks before it assumes anything and checks with you before anything that costs money, reaches a real customer (like changing your live website) or deletes something. The rest of the page is the same guide, written out, if you'd rather do it yourself.

Hi! Please be my patient guide for this step-by-step guide from Receipts Group: "More calls from the Google clicks you already get: the page check"
The guide is here: https://receiptsgroup.com/guides/google-clicks-to-calls (open it if you can; if you can't, everything you need is below).
About me: I run a home-service business and I'm not technical. Use plain words and short sentences.A call from Google goes through four places, and the check looks at the two in the middle, because that's where most of them get lost.
Checks 1 to 3 live between the page and the next step. If the page doesn't match the search, or the step isn't there, the click stops at the page.
Sign in with your Google account and see if your site is already there. Search Console is free, and a lot of website companies and agencies set it up for you, so check before you add anything.
It's the report called Performance (Search results). Google's help page for it has an Open the Performance report link that takes you straight there (it's in the sources). It shows the past three months by default, which is what you want: enough clicks to see a pattern.
Click the Pages tab above the table, choose the Clicks number at the top, and sort the table by clicks. The top row is the page getting the most clicks from Google. Write down its address. (If it's your homepage, that's fine, check it. Then do the next page down too.)
Click that page's row. That filters the whole report to just that page. Now click the Queries tab: these are the searches that led people to it. Write down the top 5 to 10 and their clicks. They're what the page has to answer.
Then click the Devices tab, still filtered to that page. It splits the clicks into desktop, tablet and mobile. That's why the next part happens on your phone.
The report has an export button that downloads the table, if you want the list of searches in a file. Writing the top 5 down works just as well.
Google leaves some searches out to protect people's privacy and only keeps the most important rows, so the searches you see won't add up to the page's total clicks. You're looking for the pattern in the top few, not every last click. The newest data is usually 2 to 3 days behind, too.
Type the page's address into your phone's browser, the way a customer lands on it. Don't scroll yet. Whatever fits on that first screen is what most people see before they decide whether to stay.
Read your top search, then read the top of the page. Does the headline or the first few lines say the thing they searched: the service, the problem, the town? Somebody who searched for a leak repair and lands on “Quality Craftsmanship Since Whenever” has to go hunting. Yes or no.
Before you scroll: is there a call button, a phone number, a booking button or a short quote form on screen? If there's a number, tap it. Your phone should offer to call it. If nothing happens, it isn't a tap-to-call link, and that's a fix for your website person. Yes or no.
Look at the searches again and ask what that person wanted to do next. A step can be right there and still be the wrong step. Yes or no.
Examples to show the idea, not from anybody's site. Your own searches decide which row you're in.
A page can answer the search and have a big button up top, and still lose the call because the button asks for something they didn't come for. Traffic loves a page with nowhere to go. Give it the right place to go.
One row per page. Writing the date range and the fix date down is what lets you compare later.
The score sheet
THE PAGE CHECK: one row per page you check
Page the page's address
Date range the dates you looked at in Search Console
Top searches the top 5 queries and their clicks
Mobile clicks from the Devices tab, out of the page's total
Check 1 Yes / No does the top of the page say what they searched?
Check 2 Yes / No is a call, book or quote step on screen
before you scroll? does the number tap to call?
Check 3 Yes / No does that step match what they came for?
The one fix the first check that failed, and what you'll change
Fixed on the date the change went live
Calls what callers told you, two weeks before and after
(no names or phone numbers)One change at a time, so you know what did it. Here's the fix for each:
If somebody else edits your website, here's the note. Fill in the brackets.
The note to your website person
Hi [name], one change on this page, please:
[page address]
On a phone, before you scroll, I want:
[the new headline, or: a tap-to-call link to our number, or: the button to say "..." and go to ...]
People find this page searching for things like [top 2 or 3 searches], so the top of the page should match that.
Nothing else on the page needs to change. Can you tell me the date it goes live?
Thanks,
[your name]Here's the catch: Search Console counts clicks, not calls. It can't tell you which clicks picked up the phone. So the simple, free way: for two weeks before the fix and two weeks after, ask every new caller how they found you and write it down (no names or numbers in the sheet). It's rough, but it's a count of calls, which is the thing you actually care about.
You can also compare the page's clicks before and after in Search Console: it lets you compare one time frame with a similar one. Just remember that's still clicks.
Example (made up): a roofing company's roof repair page is its most-clicked page. The top searches are all some version of “roof leak repair” plus a town. On the phone, the top of the page says “Roof Repair” in big letters, and the only button says “Learn more about our story.” The phone number is in the footer.
Example (made up). Invented to show the check, not anybody's results.
The first failed check is 2, so that's the fix: a “Roof leaking? Call for a repair” button with a tap-to-call number at the top. That one change happens to fix check 3 too. The page ranked great the whole time. It just had nowhere to go.
Do the whole check on one page: your most-clicked one. It costs nothing but about half an hour. Then have Claude or ChatGPT grade check 1, because it's the one that's easy to fool yourself on when you wrote the page.
Paste in the top searches and the words at the top of your page. Before you paste: take out any customer names, phone numbers and email addresses. In Claude you can also choose whether your chats help improve its models: Settings → Privacy → Help Improve our AI models.
Prompt: grade check 1 · lines 1-4 of 14. Copy all copies the whole prompt; read it in full on the page.
Please help me check whether one page on my website answers what people searched to find it.
Here are the top searches from Google Search Console that bring people to this page, with their clicks:
[paste the searches here, one per line]Good: a yes or no for each search with a reason, and a headline and button that use the words people actually searched. Bad: it adds things about your business you never gave it (“25 years of experience,” “guaranteed”), or promises more calls. Tell it: “Use only what I pasted.”
Checked 2026-10-18 on claude.com/pricing and Google's Search Console help. Prices change, so check before you buy.
Your website company or agency has it under their account. Ask them to add you under Settings → Users and permissions → Add user. Only an owner of the property can add users.
A newly added site can take up to a week to show data. Come back next week.
Normal. Search Console's data is usually 2 to 3 days behind, and the newest day can still change.
Also normal. Google leaves some searches out for privacy and only keeps the most important rows. Work from the top few.
Check it anyway, against its searches. A lot of those are probably your company's name, so the step that fits is your number and your hours. Then check the next page down, which is usually a service.
Check the Devices tab: if most clicks are mobile, the phone is the test that counts. Things that sit at the top on a computer can end up three scrolls down on a phone.
It's plain text, not a tap-to-call link. Your website person makes it one (a tel: link). Then tap it again to check.
Clicks are clicks, not calls. Keep asking callers how they found you, and give it a couple of weeks before you decide.
Tell it: "Use only what I pasted. One headline and one button, nothing else." Never put a claim on the page you can't back up.
That's fine. Everything it needs is in the walkthrough prompt. Tell it to keep going without the link.
Google moves things around now and then. Look for the same names (Performance, Pages, Queries, Devices) or use the Open the Performance report link on Google's help page in the sources.
What each page backs up is listed at the end of the full guide.
Getting found was the hard part, and Google did it for free. Three checks on your phone, one fix, and don't waste it on a Learn More button.
Seeing which pages actually turn into calls, not just clicks, is what the dashboard in our SEO builds shows.
