Software development pricing

Whichever matches what is actually broken. If people are not finding you at all and you are a licensed trade, start with the map and ads package — it does not touch your website, so it is the fastest to show something. When they find you and go elsewhere, the problem is the site and the tracking, which is the $6,850 build. And when the phone rings with nobody free to answer it, start with the receptionist. Most people need one of the three, not all of them.

No, and that is the one to understand before you sign. Local Services Ads bills you per lead, directly from Google to your own account, and that is separate from what you pay us. Our fee covers getting you verified, building the profile, and the review and category work that decides where you rank. The lead spend is yours to set and yours to cap.

Because each location is genuinely separate work. Each one needs its own Business Profile, its own verification, its own reviews and its own service areas. Two locations is close to twice the job, not the same job spread thinner, so pricing it per location is the only honest way to do it.

It bills per minute of conversation, on your own account rather than through us, because the whole prompt is re-sent to the model on every turn of the call. We give you a monthly estimate against your real call volume before you commit. It is never zero, and it goes up if your marketing works, so we would rather you saw that number early.

Ongoing marketing. It buys the website, the analytics, the CRM wiring and the receptionist — a finished thing, handed over. It does not include monthly SEO, content or campaign management, which are quoted separately because they run for as long as you want them to rather than ending at a handoff.

Yes, and the receptionist is the common pair with either of the others. If you take the build, the receptionist is already in it, so you would not buy both.

So you can tell whether we are in your range without booking a call. The retainer figure is the real one, and the slider gives the number for the hours you want.

Maintenance, bug fixes, an on-call development team, and two hours of feature development a month. Unused feature hours roll over for one month.

They roll into the next month, once only. The rollover exists so you can combine two months into one useful piece of work, not so hours accumulate indefinitely.

Above that level you are buying a substantial share of an engineer's time, and the right arrangement depends on what you are building. That is why the slider says contact us rather than showing a number.

The retainer keeps existing software running and improves it monthly. On-demand covers a defined piece of work with an end point: a build, a rewrite or an integration. Many clients have both.

We tell you before spending them and you decide. The options are the rollover hours from last month, a one-off top-up at the same rate, or a permanent increase. We do not exceed the hours and invoice afterwards.

You get a monthly summary of what was done, what it took and what is queued next. Maintenance and bug fixes are not billed against your feature hours.

Sometimes not, and we will say so. If nothing is changing or breaking you may only need the maintenance floor rather than feature hours. Dependencies and platforms still change underneath you, but that is a smaller commitment.

No. There is no local premium and no travel charge within an hour of Franklin. Further out the work is remote and priced identically.

Not the agreed figure. It changes only if you change the scope, which is quoted before anything is built. We do not discover a cost midway and pass it on.
