No decoder ring required

Here’s how we get moving.

01Find the actual bottleneck.

Tell us what happens from inquiry to booked work. We recommend the smallest useful next step.

02Agree on the work and cost.

We confirm the deliverables, your role, access, recurring fees and anything billed separately.

03Build it. Test it. Put it to work.

You review the agreed work. We test the customer path, hand it over and keep helping if your plan includes it.

Good questions. Plain answers.

Before you hand us the ball.

Can I start with one project?

Yes. A website, lead page, Google profile cleanup or email campaign can stand on its own. Your project may need hosting or an active platform; those costs are shown and agreed before you commit.

Do I have to buy the $99.99/month account with a website?

No. Standard Small Ball website or funnel hosting is $49/month. The optional $99.99/month DIY account includes hosting plus the broader tools. If compatible existing tools support your lead-page project, we can use them and you keep their provider fees.

I built my website myself. Can you help make it work?

Absolutely. We start with what you have: layout, message, booking path and business connections. We’ll explain what is worth keeping and scope the improvements. A rebuild is a decision we make together after reviewing the site.

Does First Response include AI or reviews?

First Response sends the configured missed-call text, alerts you and provides a booking link. You answer customer replies. Local Starter adds a hosted lead page and review requests. NJ Growth Engine includes an AI Text Agent; Garden State Advantage adds voice coverage.

What costs are separate?

Applicable phone, text and email usage and registration charges are billed at cost for DIY and First Response. Hosting-only funnel communication usage is also separate at cost. Domain renewal, business mailboxes, custom work and ad spend are separate. Managed-plan setup and usage terms are confirmed in writing.

What happens if I cancel?

Recurring services are month-to-month with 30 days’ written notice. We agree on the final billing date, access and any handoff work before you start. Your domain and Google profile remain yours; platform hosting and account access end according to your agreement. Migration is scoped separately.

Can I buy online?

For now, the buttons start a conversation so we can confirm fit and any required access. Direct checkout for standardized offers will follow once onboarding, billing and written terms are ready. You’ll see both setup and recurring costs before paying.

Do you guarantee rankings or a certain number of jobs?

We commit to the agreed work, testing and reporting. Search rankings, customer demand and booked jobs depend on factors beyond a single website or campaign. We’ll tell you what we are doing and help you understand the results.
