Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our AI-powered contractor marketing platform, pricing, and how we help you get more jobs.

1 General

What is ContractorSmartSite.ai?
ContractorSmartSite.ai is an AI-powered marketing platform built specifically for home service contractors. We combine lead capture automation, high-performance websites, and local SEO into packages designed to help you get more jobs and stop missing the ones that come in. Our two core offerings are Smart Site AI Basic and Smart Site AI Pro.
Who is this for?
We work with home service contractors — roofers, plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians, remodelers, fencing companies, and more. If you're a contractor who wants more leads, faster response times, and a professional online presence that actually drives business, our platform is built for you.
How is this different from a traditional marketing agency?
Traditional agencies charge $3,000-$10,000/month, lock you into long-term contracts, build slow WordPress sites that score 40-60 on PageSpeed, and hold your website hostage if you leave. We charge $497-$1,250/month with no contracts, build lightning-fast sites scoring 95+ on PageSpeed, give you full code ownership, and use AI to respond to leads instantly 24/7. See our pricing comparison.

2 Smart Site AI Basic

What's included in Smart Site AI Basic?
Smart Site AI Basic ($497/mo) includes everything you need to capture and convert more leads: AI Voice Agent that answers calls 24/7, missed call text-back, automated lead follow-up via SMS and email, automated review requests, reputation management dashboard, weekly social posting to Google Business Profile, Facebook, and Instagram, plus a mobile app to manage leads, conversations, and your pipeline. Learn more about Smart Site AI Basic.
What are AI voice minutes?
AI voice minutes are the time our AI Voice Agent spends on phone calls answering and qualifying your leads. The AI picks up the phone when you can't, gathers project details, and qualifies the lead so you can call back the best opportunities first. We pass the cost through at exactly what we pay — no markup.
How does the AI Voice Agent work?
When a potential customer calls and you're unavailable, the AI Voice Agent answers within seconds. It greets the caller naturally, asks about their project, collects key details (type of work, timeline, budget range), and qualifies the lead. You get an instant notification with a full summary so you can prioritize callbacks. It works 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays — so you never miss a job.
What's the missed call text-back?
When you miss a call, our system automatically sends the caller a text message within seconds letting them know you received their call and will get back to them shortly. This keeps the lead warm and prevents them from calling your competitor. Studies show that responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to convert a lead — our system responds in under 30 seconds.

3 Smart Site AI Pro

What's included beyond Smart Site AI Basic?
Smart Site AI Pro ($1,250/mo) includes everything in Smart Site AI Basic, plus: a high-performance SEO website built on Astro + Vercel, monthly SEO services, a website chat widget integrated into your dashboard, monthly performance reporting, and monthly 1:1 strategy calls with our team. It's the complete system to both get more leads and capture every one that comes in. Learn more about Smart Site AI Pro.
What does monthly SEO include?
Our monthly SEO is hands-on and comprehensive. Each month you get: 8 new pages/posts targeting local keywords your customers are searching for, citation building across directories like Yelp, Angi, and industry-specific sites, Google Business Profile optimization (posts, photos, Q&A, category updates), ranking reports so you can see your progress, and competitor monitoring to stay ahead of other contractors in your area. This isn't set-it-and-forget-it SEO — it's active, ongoing work to build your local authority.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Unlike most agencies that hold your website hostage, you own the code. Your site lives on GitHub and deploys through Vercel — both accounts you have full access to. If you ever leave, we'll do a complete transfer so you walk away with everything. No vendor lock-in, ever.
What happens if I cancel?
You have options. You can keep your website running on our infrastructure for a reduced $99/month hosting-only fee, or we'll do a full transfer of your Vercel and GitHub deployment so you own and control everything independently. Either way, the website you paid for is yours. SEO and AI services would stop, but your website and all its content stays with you.

4 Pricing & Billing

How much does it cost?
We offer two packages: Smart Site AI Basic at $497/month with a $500 one-time setup fee, and Smart Site AI Pro at $1,250/month with a $3,250 one-time setup fee. AI voice minutes are an additional pass-through cost (see below). View full pricing details.
Is there a contract?
No. Both Smart Site AI Basic and Smart Site AI Pro are month-to-month. There's no long-term commitment required. We earn your business every month by delivering results. If it's not working for you, you can cancel anytime.
How much do AI voice minutes cost?
AI voice minutes are passed through at exactly what we pay — no markup, no hidden fees. The cost covers the AI processing time for handling phone calls. Most contractors see $30-$75 per month depending on call volume. High-volume businesses may see more, but you only pay for what you use. You'll always have full visibility into your usage.

5 Results & ROI

How quickly will I see results?
Smart Site AI Basic starts working from day one. The AI Voice Agent answers calls immediately, missed call text-back fires instantly, and automated follow-up sequences kick in right away. You'll capture leads you were previously missing starting on your first day. For Smart Site AI Pro, your website launches within 2-3 weeks of onboarding, and SEO results build over 30-90 days as Google indexes your content and local authority grows.
What kind of ROI can I expect?
Most contractors see a positive ROI within the first 1-2 booked jobs. With average contractor job values of $5,000-$50,000+, even one additional job per month delivers significant return on a $497-$1,250 monthly investment. Our clients consistently report that the leads they were previously missing — the ones that went to voicemail or called a competitor — now convert into paying jobs. Read our case studies.
Do you have case studies?
Yes. We have documented results from real contractors using our platform. You can see how our clients have increased their lead capture rates, improved their online visibility, and grown their revenue. View our case studies here.

6 Technical

What tech stack do you use?
Our websites are built with Astro, a modern static site generator, and deployed on Vercel's edge network. This combination delivers 95+ Google PageSpeed scores out of the box — compared to the 40-60 scores typical of WordPress sites built by traditional agencies. Faster sites rank higher on Google and convert more visitors into leads.
How fast are the websites?
Our sites consistently score 95-100 on Google PageSpeed Insights across both mobile and desktop. That means sub-second load times, no layout shift, and a smooth experience for every visitor. Speed is a direct Google ranking factor, and our tech stack gives you a measurable advantage over competitors still running on slow, bloated platforms.
Can I keep my current domain?
Absolutely. We build your new site and point your existing domain to it. There's no need to change your domain name, your email, or anything else. If you don't have a domain yet, we can help you choose and register one as part of onboarding.
