FAQ
Can the website handle different rates for residential vs. commercial?
Yes. We build separate logic paths for residential clients (instant booking) and commercial clients (detailed RFP/Estimate request forms) to ensure accurate lead routing.
Will this integrate with my existing ZenMaid or Housecall Pro account?
Absolutely. We specialize in embedding the native booking widgets of these platforms while skinning them to match your brand's aesthetic perfectly for a seamless user experience.
How does the AI quote generator work?
The AI is trained on your specific pricing variables (e.g., $30 per bathroom, $50 per pet). It interacts with visitors to provide a ballpark estimate and captures their contact info for follow-up.
What happens if we change our service areas?
The site is built with a dynamic service area manager. You can add or remove zip codes in the backend, and the booking engine will automatically update its availability logic.
Do you handle the domain and hosting migration?
Yes, we handle the entire technical transition, including setting up SSL certificates and ensuring your existing SEO rankings are protected with proper 301 redirects.
