First: type their number (or name) in the 🔎 search box at the top — their card pops up with what you sent and their details, so you know exactly who it is before you answer.
Quick pitch: “Hi, it’s Marc with FiveStar Sites. Your reviews are some of the best around, and I noticed your website could be working a lot harder to bring you calls. I already built you a fresh one from your reviews, free to look — want me to text it right over? If you love it, it’s just $35 a month, cancel anytime.”
If they’re interested, go to the green If they say YES steps above.
“How much?”
“Honestly, a web designer would charge $3,000 to $5,000 for a site like this, plus a monthly fee. I keep it simple: just $35 a month — I host it, keep it updated, and get you on Google. See it first, free, cancel anytime. That’s less than one job.”
“Too busy / not interested.”
“Totally fair — that’s why I built it first. Takes 30 seconds to look, I can text it right over.”
“What about the domain?”
“Most owners already have their web address, and we just point it at the new site at no extra charge. If you need a brand new one, we can register it in your name for a small yearly fee. Either way the $35 covers hosting and updates.”
“Is this a scam?” (only if they ask)
“Fair question. No money up front, the preview’s free and built from your own public Google reviews. You only pay if you keep it, and you can look us up at fivestarsites.net.”
What a domain is: the customer's own web address, like theirbusiness.com. Most already own one, and we point it at the new site at no extra charge. If they need a new one we register it in their name (a small yearly fee), always so they own it. The $35/month covers hosting and updates.
1Ask what they want. First choice is their business name + .com (for example bluepoolservice.com). If they already own a domain, get the exact spelling and where they bought it (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
2If they don't have one, help pick a clean name. Short, easy to say, matches the business. Prefer .com. If the plain name is taken, add the city or service — napleshandyman.com, capecoralpools.com. No hyphens or numbers.
3Check it's available. Send Marc (or the laptop) 2–3 name choices. Claude checks availability and price in seconds — most .com names run about $12–20 a year.
4Register it. Done from the laptop, in the customer's name so they own it. You don't do this part — just get the name.
5Connect it to their site. Marc/Claude points the new domain at the customer's FiveStar site and turns on the lock (https). It goes live within a few minutes to a few hours.
6Verify and send it. Open the domain in a browser — their site loads with the padlock. Text the customer their live web address. Done.
Olya's part is just steps 1–2 — get the name(s) from the customer. Send them to Marc or the laptop and the rest is handled for you.
Renewals are included while the $35/month plan is active. The domain can be transferred to the customer's own account anytime.
