Frequently Asked Questions
Should I show pricing on my website?
Show ranges ('typical projects: $8k–$18k'). It filters out tire-kickers and improves lead quality.
How do I compete with cheap competitors?
Don't. Reframe against risk (warranty, insurance, licensed techs) and stop chasing price-only leads.
