Case Study · Towing · Nashville, TN
Nash Towing's Homepage Shows Raw WordPress Shortcode Instead of Services — {"cpt":"service","style":"1"...} — and Their Blog Link Goes to a Theme Demo Site.
Nash Towing — Nashville, TN · nashvilletowinginc.com
81 Google reviews, 5-star Yelp, operating since 2016 — and their homepage is showing visitors WordPress plugin code where the services section should be.

The Evidence
A failed WordPress plugin renders its raw JSON shortcode as visible text on the homepage. The services section shows plugin configuration code instead of Nash Towing's actual services.
Nash Towing has been operating in Nashville since 2016 with 81 Google reviews and a 5-star Yelp rating — real proof of satisfied customers. Their homepage is showing those customers raw WordPress plugin code where the services section should be.
The Business
Nash Towing (Nashville Towing Inc.) has operated in Nashville since 2016, building a solid reputation with 81 Google reviews and a 5-star Yelp rating. That's meaningful social proof in a competitive market — real customers who were satisfied enough to leave reviews.
The problem is that a new visitor to nashvilletowinginc.com doesn't see the reviews first. They see raw JSON configuration code in the services section — and if they try to read the blog, they get routed to a theme developer's demo site.
What We Found
Raw WordPress Shortcode Rendering as Visible Text
A WordPress plugin failed to render properly — leaving its raw JSON configuration string as visible, readable text on the homepage where the services section should appear:
{"cpt":"service","style":"1","columns":"3","show_title":"yes"...}
— Visible on the homepage of nashvilletowinginc.com instead of service listings
Anyone who visits the site sees plugin configuration code instead of what Nash Towing actually offers.
“View More Blog” Links to a Theme Demo Site
The “View More Blog” button routes to grevo-demo.pbminfotech.com — the theme developer's demo site, which has nothing to do with Nash Towing. The URL was never updated from the theme's default. A visitor who clicks to read more ends up on an unrelated demo page.
Placeholder Blog Content and Broken Elements
Blog posts are dated 2026 with demo content that was never replaced with real Nash Towing posts. A broken “0% guaranteed” element — an unfinished template fragment — is also visible on the page.
What We'd Fix
A Services Section That Shows Services
Clean service listings — towing, roadside assistance, recovery — with actual descriptions. No raw plugin code, no broken shortcodes. A visitor lands on the site and immediately understands what Nash Towing does.
Reviews Front and Center
81 Google reviews and a 5-star Yelp rating are genuine competitive advantages. Lead with them — make social proof the first thing a prospective customer sees, not an afterthought buried below broken code.
Working Blog and Internal Links
All internal links routing to actual Nash Towing pages — not theme demos. Blog posts with real Nashville towing content, properly dated, that build SEO authority over time.
Nashville Towing SEO
Structured for “Nashville towing,” “I-40 towing Nashville,” and “emergency towing Nashville TN” — so a company with real reviews actually shows up in the results that matter.
Spec Redesign Deliverables
- ✓Clean services section — no plugin code, real service listings
- ✓81 Google reviews and 5-star Yelp prominently featured

The Opportunity
Nash Towing has done the hard work — building a reputation with real customers who left real reviews. 81 Google reviews and a 5-star Yelp score is a genuine competitive advantage in Nashville's towing market.
A website that shows those reviews, clearly lists the services, and doesn't route visitors to a theme demo site would convert meaningfully better than what's live today — with zero changes to the underlying business.
