Question 1

How much should I budget for ads each month?

Accepted Answer

Most local service businesses start between $1,500 and $5,000 per month in ad spend, plus management. We size the budget to your average job value and how many leads your team can actually handle — not to a number that looks impressive on a proposal.

Question 2

How fast will I see leads?

Accepted Answer

Paid campaigns typically produce their first qualified leads within 7 to 14 days of launch. The first 30 days are calibration: we gather conversion data, cut what underperforms, and scale what books jobs. Meaningful cost-per-lead improvements usually land in month two.

Question 3

Do you require a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No. Our marketing plans are month-to-month. You keep ownership of your ad accounts, pixels, and audience data, so nothing is held hostage if you ever leave.

Question 4

Do you work with competing businesses in my area?

Accepted Answer

No. Every marketing plan includes territory exclusivity — we will not run campaigns for a direct competitor in the same service area while you are a client.

Question 5

How do you report results?

Accepted Answer

You get a live dashboard showing spend, leads, cost per lead, and booked revenue attributed back to each campaign, plus a monthly review call where we walk through what changed and what's next.

Question 6

How long does a new website take?

Accepted Answer

Most marketing sites launch in three to five weeks: about a week for discovery and content, one to two weeks for design, and one to two weeks for build, QA, and launch. Larger sites with custom functionality run longer and get a dated schedule up front.

Question 7

Is SEO included in the build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every build ships with clean semantic markup, per-page titles and meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, structured data, an XML sitemap, fast responsive images, and Core Web Vitals tuning. Ongoing content and link work is a separate service.

Question 8

Will I be able to update the site myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hand over an editing setup that fits your team — content pages you can edit without touching code, plus documentation and a walkthrough call at launch.

Question 9

Do I own the website when it's done?

Accepted Answer

You own the site, the domain, the hosting account, and the code. There is no proprietary platform lock-in and no ransom fee to take it with you.

Question 10

Can you redesign my existing site instead of starting over?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We audit what's already ranking and converting, keep those URLs and content intact, and rebuild around them so you don't lose search equity in the redesign.

Question 11

What kinds of work can you actually automate?

Accepted Answer

The highest-ROI automations are usually speed-to-lead follow-up, quoting and estimate prep, appointment scheduling and reminders, review requests, invoice and document handling, CRM data entry, and internal reporting. If it's repetitive and rule-driven, it's a candidate.

Question 12

Will AI replace my staff?

Accepted Answer

No — it removes the busywork that keeps them from revenue work. Our typical deployment takes hours of manual data entry and follow-up off a team's plate so the same headcount can handle materially more volume.

Question 13

How do you keep AI from making things up to my customers?

Accepted Answer

Customer-facing agents run on your approved content with guardrails, escalation rules, and human handoff on anything outside scope. Every conversation is logged and reviewable, and we tune from real transcripts in the first weeks.

Question 14

Does this work with the tools I already use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build on top of your existing CRM, phone system, calendar, and accounting tools rather than forcing a migration. If a tool has an API or webhook, we can connect it.

Question 15

How long does an automation take to deploy?

Accepted Answer

A focused workflow — speed-to-lead, review requests, scheduling — is usually live in two to four weeks. Multi-step operations automation with several integrations runs four to eight weeks including testing and monitoring.

Question 16

When does custom software beat off-the-shelf?

Accepted Answer

When your process is the advantage. If you're paying for four tools that half-fit, exporting spreadsheets between them, or hiring people to bridge the gaps, a purpose-built tool usually costs less over three years and works exactly how you operate.

Question 17

What does a custom build cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope, so we quote in phases. Discovery and a clickable prototype come first at a fixed price, which gives you a real number for the build before you commit to it.

Question 18

Do I own the code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You own the repository, the infrastructure accounts, and the intellectual property. We document the system so any competent developer can pick it up.

Question 19

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

You choose: a support retainer where we monitor, patch, and ship improvements, or a clean handoff with documentation and training for your own team. We don't require an ongoing contract to keep your software running.

Question 20

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes — CRMs, ERPs, payment processors, scheduling tools, and internal databases. Integration mapping happens in discovery so there are no surprises mid-build.
