No way to book or enquire on your website (the after-hours problem)
Plenty of local business websites have exactly one call to action: a phone number. That works for the visitor standing in the street at 11am. It does nothing for the one on the couch at 9pm — which is when a lot of browsing for restaurants, salons, stays and quotes actually happens.
Why it costs you customers
An after-hours visitor who can't book, request a time, or at least leave their details has only one option: remember to call tomorrow. Many won't. The next business in their search results with a booking button gets them instead.
For accommodation and experiences, the stakes are higher: people plan trips at night and book the place that lets them finish the job in one sitting.

Imagine it is 9pm and you want to book yourself in. Can you finish — or at least hand over your details — without calling?

How to fix it
Name, contact, what they want, send. Every platform has a form block. Route it to an inbox you actually read, and say on the page how fast you reply ("we answer within a day").
Restaurants: a booking widget or even "text us on…" beats nothing. Tours, stays and activities: Rezdy, Checkfront, FareHarbor and similar embed straight into your page. Salons: your booking system (Timely, Fresha…) almost certainly has a "book now" link — put it front and centre.
A button that opens a pre-filled email ("Booking enquiry — [your name]") costs nothing and still beats a bare phone number at night.
Put the booking action in the first screen and repeat it at the bottom. The single most common layout mistake we see is a beautiful page where the only "book" link hides in a menu — on mobile, if it is not visible, it does not exist.
