Leather Tanning Website in Tashkent: A Real-World Teardown

In leather tanning, buyers almost always check the website before they call or write — they want to see the range, the volumes, a rough sense of price. We took a close look at a leather tanning website in Tashkent to show how small technical issues and missing information quietly cost a business its inquiries.

The site looks functional — there's a catalog, a company page, and the server responds fast: time to first byte is 414 ms, a solid number that keeps the page from stalling on load. But the overall audit score is 32 out of a possible top score, and the problem isn't speed — it's everything that stops a visitor from reaching out and stops search engines from showing the site to people looking for leather or leather goods.

We went through the site the way a visitor would — from the homepage, through the catalog, to the company page — and looked at what the customer sees and what Google sees.

As it is

What stops it from selling

The only ways to get in touch are a form or a phone call

What it costs the business. In Uzbekistan, customers message more often than they call — especially for a small wholesale order or a custom batch inquiry in the evening or on a weekend. Without a Telegram or WhatsApp button, these people leave no trace at all: they don't call, they don't fill out the form, they just go to whoever answers faster in the channel they already use.

What we do. We add a Telegram and WhatsApp button — in the header, plus a floating one on mobile, with a pre-filled first message. A few hours of work.

None of the five pages on the site shows a single price

What it costs the business. We went through the whole site — homepage, catalog, company page, and the rest — and found no price range anywhere, not even a rough one. For leather this matters a lot: buyers compare several suppliers, and the first ones they rule out are the ones who hide pricing — they assume it's expensive or that they're in for a long haggle.

What we do. We add a 'from-to' range by leather type and typical batch size, with a short note on what drives the final price. A day or two, together with the copy.

The link unfurls as a blank line when shared in chat

What it costs the business. When a manager or a happy customer forwards the site link on Telegram or WhatsApp, nothing shows up — no image, no title, just a bare address. Links like that get clicked less, and the people forwarding them are exactly the ones recommending you to others — so the most valuable contacts are the first to fall through.

What we do. We add an image and caption for messengers and social media so the link unfurls as a clean preview card. A couple of hours, including preparing the image.

Search engines have no sitemap to work from

What it costs the business. Without a sitemap, Google has to find catalog pages and product listings by following links, and it can take months to reach sections that aren't linked directly from the homepage. For a producer with several leather types and product groups, that means part of the catalog is simply invisible in search.

What we do. We set up an auto-updating sitemap, reference it in robots.txt, and submit it to Search Console. A few hours.

In search results, the site shows up as a bare link

What it costs the business. Competitors' listings show an address, business hours, sometimes a price or reviews — all pulled from page markup. This site has none of that, so its search result looks thinner than the ones next to it and draws fewer clicks even at the same ranking position.

What we do. We mark up the organization, address, hours, and services the way Google reads them. Half a day of work.

The Russian and Uzbek versions of the site aren't linked to each other

What it costs the business. Leather buyers search in both Russian and Uzbek — different queries, different people. Without a link between the language versions, Google treats them as competing pages and keeps showing the wrong one to the wrong person.

What we do. We connect the language versions the way Google expects. A few hours, if both versions already exist.

There's no indication of which page address is the main one

What it costs the business. The same catalog page can open under several addresses — with or without a trailing slash, with or without a campaign tag. Search engines split ranking weight between these copies instead of backing one strong page, so the catalog as a whole ranks weaker.

What we do. We set a canonical address on every page. A few hours.

What this gives

A buyer looking for a leather supplier gets the answer to the main question — how much it costs — without waiting for a reply, and decides faster whether to reach out.

Inquiries from messengers stop getting lost: getting in touch takes one tap, no call, no waiting on hold.

The catalog becomes more visible in search in both languages, and link shares arrive as a proper preview card instead of bare text.

DevUz Studio's work: from $2500, 3-8 weeks — depending on the size of the catalog and which findings make it into scope.

What this costs

Out of every hundred people who reach the site ready to get in touch, roughly 31–58 are lost at these points.

This is an estimate based on our own stated assumptions, not a measurement of someone else's analytics: we do not know this site's traffic and do not make it up. We count per hundred visitors, and the share of every item is open in our code.
