Errr… Um actually my website just got an extremely brutal makeover - While the last one was “pretty” it didn’t offer much quick and easy info about my company.
Tell me what you think, look for typos, tell me how ugly I am - anything you think I should change… (I may have to get a few more jobs if it’s plastic surgery)
Anyway looking for the straight shooting thoughts and comments I know you fellow WCR guys are willing to give
“Sidewalk, Driveway & Parking Lot Leaf Blowing
Lucky for our customers we still like playing in the leaves. Our price is $17.50 per 15 minutes. This service can be added on to any other service in 15 minute increments.”
What is your response on this? To me, it seems like it would be better to just give them a guaranteed quote instead of a 15 minute pricing structure. But if it has been working, may as well not change it.
Dang! If I did that, it would be at least 60 bucks or more just to give an estimate.
Do you think that turns people off from calling you to get an estimate? Or is that what you were looking for? Not traveling very far from the office, and keeping work close.
Just looking for a deterrent to people who want the estimate but are not serious about paying for the services or care about my time. Had one customer located about 60 miles round trip yank me around a bit. After scheduling they decided they wanted me to do the job in increments and not pay my fuel costs for coming back on a return trip - which they expected for free. I’m open for pricing advice lol
Haven’t done any - just added it as a service. Not knowing anything about normal / market pricing for it - Figured I needed to make around $70 an hour.
Looks good. On your slide show, put a bunch of pics of your company vehicle in front of house or commercial buildings. Action shots are always best. All in all, I think you did a really good job
My suggestion would be to increase price outside of the 15 mile radius. Add it to the quote. You might be deterring good customers as well as bad. Establish a system for bidding over the phone as well.
Looks good, Only thing I might get rid of is minimum charge of $ 125. I love the small jobs that you can fit in your schedule and pick up a quick 50 or 75 bucks for 20 minutes work. Don’t want to scare someone away who might only want the outside of large window or something done.
the look to the website is fine. The problem is that you are “wee-ing” all over yourself. “We do this” “we do that” “we offer blah blah blah blah blah” “we yada yada yada.” Not a single reference I could see on the front page to “you, Mrs. Customer.”
