Not sure which plan? That's what the 15 minutes is for.
Named vendors, sourced numbers. Ask these on any sales call and watch what happens.
Townsquare Interactive advertises around $250/mo; customers report real bills of $450-$900/mo, plus $129/mo hosting charges after cancelling (BBB complaint record). Hibu retainers commonly land around $2,300+/mo all-in, roughly $28,000 in year one (Hibu review).
My answer: what you see above is the whole bill.
Hibu and Scorpion clients report they don't own their own sites. Scorpion runs $3,000-$10,000+/mo on 12-24-month contracts (Scorpion pricing guide).
My answer: you own the domain, the site files, and every account. In the contract.
Twelve to twenty-four months is common with the national vendors. See the Scorpion terms above.
My answer: month to month, 30 days' notice.
Angi and HomeAdvisor charge $15-$120+ per shared lead; contractors report effective costs over $1,400 per booked job, and HomeAdvisor paid a $7.2 million FTC settlement in 2023 (guide to Angi leads).
My answer: flat monthly. The leads are yours.
Worth asking everywhere. At a big shop, the person on the sales call is rarely the person building the site.
My answer: me. You have my cell.
Squarespace runs $16-$99/mo (pricing breakdown) and it's fine if you'll actually build and maintain it yourself.
My answer: if you have the evenings and the patience, do it, genuinely. Most people making $200/hr on service calls don't.
Of the vendors I reviewed around here, none publishes package pricing.
My answer: you're looking at them.
Builds take a 50% deposit to hold your start date. One build at a time means the date is real. The balance is due at launch, after you've clicked through the live site yourself. All of it sits in a one-page agreement you can read in five minutes.
Care, Growth, and the AI Front Desk go on card autopay, month to month. No 12-month term, no early-exit fee. Cancel anything with 30 days' notice and you keep your domain, your site, and every account.
Two content edits a month (swapping photos, updating hours, changing a paragraph) at roughly 30 minutes each, capped at one hour per month total. Unused time doesn't roll over. New pages and redesigns are quoted separately, in writing, before I touch anything.
No pitch deck, no follow-up sequence if you say no.
