Can you add lead and booking automation to the site?
Yes. Adding lead follow-up automation and appointment reminders brings the total to $445 a month, saving $149 a month compared to buying both plans separately.
Automation replies to every form, missed call and DM in under a minute, 24/7, in English or French. It also sends booking confirmations and reminders by text and email, and requests a review 48 hours after every job.
Text messaging for automations is billed by the provider, typically $20 to $40 a month extra.
Do you own the site and domain?
Yes. The domain, content and your accounts are yours from day one. The site itself is yours once the 12-month term is complete.
The domain costs about $20 a year and stays in your name. See website cost in Toronto for a full breakdown of what you pay and when.
