A professional website is one of the few business purchases you can evaluate with simple arithmetic. Here is the math we walk through with every client.
Step 1: What is a customer worth?
Take your average job value and multiply by how often a customer returns. A landscaper with a $300 average visit and four visits a year has a $1,200 customer. A contractor with a $5,000 average job has a $5,000 customer.
Step 2: What does an extra customer a month cost you today?
If you rely on referrals alone, the answer is "the ones you never hear about." Buyers research online before they call anyone — and if your site is slow, dated or invisible in search, you are losing leads you never knew existed.
Step 3: Compare
A custom build priced in the low thousands that produces even one extra customer a month pays for itself within a quarter for most service businesses — and keeps producing for years. A care plan then keeps it fast, secure and current for less than the cost of one recovered job.
Why cheap sites cost more
A $30-a-month builder site that produces nothing is not cheap — it is a $360-a-year expense with zero return. Price only makes sense measured against results.
