Add a Proof Strip Near the Top of the Homepage

A homepage proof strip can make a small business look more credible without adding much complexity. It is a short row of trust signals placed near the main offer.
The goal is not to brag. The goal is to reduce uncertainty before the visitor reaches the contact button.
