Full Example (Källa)

Vision statement:

"Create a professional web presence that clearly shows the breadth of our services - from lawnmowers to tour buses - to build credibility with summer tourists while filtering out calls we can't help with."

Key insights documented:

  • Primary audience is summer tourists who need fast help (time-sensitive, stressed)
  • Owner wants efficiency not growth - already at capacity
  • AutoExperten certification is key trust signal
  • Current phone calls are repetitive - website should answer common questions
  • Service breadth (lawnmowers → tour buses) is unique selling point
