Cedar & Sage Coffee — Example
Coffee shop · Warm · editorial. Every step below is inspectable, and anything we weren't sure about is labelled rather than smoothed over.
What we started from
- Owner-supplied: business name, that they roast their own beans, and that they open early on weekends.
- Found by us: a Google Business Profile, a mostly-inactive Instagram, and an old one-page site with a broken contact form.
Verified sources — and the contradictions we didn't paper over
- Weekday hoursVerified
Value: Mon–Fri 7:00am–6:00pm
Source: Google Business Profile + door signage photo
- Sunday hoursContradiction — held back
Value: held back
Source: Profile says 8:00am–1:00pm; Instagram bio says 'closed Sundays'
Two sources disagree, so we did not publish a Sunday time — we asked the owner instead of guessing.
- In-house roastingUnverified — not published yet
Value: not rendered as a claim yet
Source: Owner statement, no third-party corroboration
Kept out of the live copy until the owner confirms it in the approval step.
Concrete conversion diagnosis
Phone number is an image, not a tap-to-call link
Evidence: 0 of the site's mobile visitors could call in one tap; 71% of the profile's traffic is mobile.
Fix: Render the number as a real tel: link in the header and contact block.
Hours are buried below three scrolls
Evidence: 'What time do they open?' is the top question in the profile's Q&A — answered nowhere above the fold.
Fix: Move a verified hours panel into the first screen.
Contact form posts to a dead endpoint
Evidence: Submissions 500 and are lost; the owner never sees them.
Fix: Replace with a working request form wired to email + the owner dashboard.

Owner approval diff
Nothing launches until the owner signs off. Here is exactly what they changed — corrections and removals, not just additions:
Open Sundays 8:00am–1:00pm
→ Sunday: by the owner — 8:00am–12:00pm
Why: Owner resolved the source contradiction; we published only the confirmed time.
Family-owned since 1998
→ (removed)
Why: Owner could not substantiate the year, so we cut the claim rather than ship an unverifiable one.
House-roasted beans pulled to order
→ House-roasted beans pulled to order (owner-confirmed)
Why: Owner confirmed the roasting claim in review, so it moved from unverified to published.
Launch — a human accountable, not a button
Went live at cedarsage-coffee.example. Went live after the owner approved the diff. The domain is registered to the owner, not to PitchSite.
