Prove It Works by Using It

✓ How To Do It

1. Make a short list of everything that must work. Include each form, each phone number, each booking link and each payment page.
2. Submit each form from a phone on mobile data, not your office wifi. Use a clearly marked test name and your own email.
3. Check that the message arrived where it should. Look in the inbox, the lead system and the alert. If any one is missing, the form is broken.
4. Call each number and listen. Check the greeting, the ring and who picks up. If you use a tracked number, check the call shows up in the log.
5. Click every button on the first screen of your most visited pages. A dead call button costs real money.
6. Test after every host move, domain change, plugin update or deploy. Those are the moments things break.
7. Look at what the visitor sees too. A form that fails silently is the worst kind. It should show a clear error or a thank you.
8. Do not trust a 200 alone. A page can return 200 and still show an error, as the form lesson explains.
9. Record the date, the tester and the result in a log. Keep it simple, one row per check.
10. Run the list again once a month, and set a calendar reminder so it does not depend on memory.
