Small Business — No Website

Hey is this [Business]?

Ok good, so I was on Google earlier, wasn't sure if you guys were open — I couldn't find a website.

Oh okay gotchu — so I actually run a local business in [hometown], I build custom sites. I'm making free demo sites to show local businesses and I built one for you today. If you don't like it no worries, I'll take it down. If you do like it we can add your logos, pictures, whatever you want on it. I can actually show you now while we're talking. Would you rather me email it or text it to ya?

Ok I'm sending that over now — let me know when you got it.

Ok perfect. Obviously this is just a starting point without your real info on it — to show you the foundation of what your site would look like. Anything you want changed — your logos, real photos of your work, colors, copy, layout — we handle all of it. The biggest value you'd get from having a website is being at the top of a Google search when someone googles [their service] in my area. That's possible through SEO, which is essentially specific keywords on the site that trigger that.

By being at the top, this brings new leads into your website. Not only do you get new leads, but every time someone fills out the form on your site you'll get an email — so you'll be able to see exactly how many leads are coming directly from the site. With a few leads, this would pay for a whole year of you owning it. Does that make sense?

Our plans start out at $49 a month with a one-time $297 to get it live — that's our Starter. If I'm being honest with you, most the businesses we work with go for the mid-tier package — that's $149 a month plus a $497 setup — because they can have up to 10 pages, which doubles the amount of SEO we can provide with it. Simply put, double the leads. The mid-tier also includes us managing your Google Business Profile every week and unlimited small edits whenever you want changes — so you're not paying us extra every time something needs updated.

So the highest tier is $249 a month plus a $997 setup. You get a lot more — up to 25 pages, 2 brand-new SEO pages built every single month so you keep climbing in Google, an automated review engine that texts your customers after a job and asks them to leave a Google review (this is what actually moves you up the Maps rankings), and a real-time analytics dashboard that shows you exactly how many leads are coming in, where they're coming from, and which pages are pulling the most traffic — so you can double down on what's working.

Ok, is that because you guys aren't really looking to expand? Or is it more of a budget issue?

The biggest value you'd get from having this website is being at the top of a Google search when someone googles [their service] in my area. That's possible through SEO — essentially specific keywords on the site that trigger that. Right now when people need a service and search yours, they're lucky if they see a Facebook page pop up, or even Yelp. Being the first business they see on a search is something Facebook can't guarantee. That's why companies miss out on thousands a month.
