How the price is worked out
Each service starts at $0. Each answer does one of two things:
- adds a dollar range (a low and a high amount), or
- raises or lowers the service's total by a percent.
All the dollar amounts for a service are added up first. Then every percent answer is applied to that sum, one after another, whatever order the questions came in. So a dollar add-on always gets the same percent uplift as the rest of the job. When a question allows several answers, each one picked counts.
Questions that allow several answers can be left with none picked.
Most questions include an answer labelled “I'm not sure — use the average”. It has its own price or percent, which you can edit like any other answer.
Then the tool puts the services together:
- The services picked are added together.
- The total is not widened. You can widen it with How wide your range shows.
- The total is rounded to the nearest $1.
The lines on the estimate screen (one per service, one per add-on picked) are rounded the same way and always add up to the total shown.
Worked example
This uses the tool’s default prices. A visitor picks Residential Junk Removal and answers:
- “What type of items need to be removed?” — General household junk (furniture, boxes, miscellaneous items): no change.
- “How much junk do you have?” — Minimum load (1-2 small items or a few boxes): adds $75–$125.
- “Where is the junk located?” — Ground floor with easy access: no change.
- “Do you need any of these additional services?” — nothing picked: no change.
- “When are you looking to have your junk removed?” — As soon as possible (same-day or next-day): adds 15%.
The total is rounded to the nearest $1. The visitor sees $86 – $144. The Residential Junk Removal line shows $86 – $144.
Your prices
In the Price tool card, open Your prices. The panel starts from the tool’s default prices. It has these parts:
- Your business: Subline, Button label, Logo URL and Booking URL. The business name, headline and color come from the card’s Business name, Headline visitors see and Your color fields.
- One group per service. Each starts with Minimum for this service, then one row per answer, labelled with the question and the answer. A row is either a low and high dollar amount or a percent. Size and count questions also have a “default” row, which sets the number the question starts at.
- Your minimum job: the tool minimum.
- How wide your range shows: a percent from 0 to 50 that widens the total on each side.
Reset to defaults puts every row back. Click Save to keep your changes. A tool that is turned on shows the new prices the next time a visitor opens it.
If you switch Which price tool to a different trade, your price changes for the old trade are not kept. The business name, headline and color are kept.
With a Client pricing link, the business owner can edit these same prices without signing in. See the price tools overview.
Leads
A lead is saved when the visitor taps See your estimate. It holds the name, email, zip, phone (if given), every answer, the estimate shown and, when the browser reports it, the page the tool was on. Nothing is saved before that step. If the visitor taps Change my answers and sees a new estimate, the same lead is updated; nobody is alerted twice.
Each lead goes to the addresses in Email new leads to, and to you as well when Send me a copy too is ticked. The email carries your agency’s name.
The visitor is emailed a copy of their estimate under the business name. A reply goes to the first address in Email new leads to.
If the visitor taps Book a free on-site quote and you set a Booking URL, it opens that page. With no booking URL, the owner gets a second alert marked “Visit requested”, and the visitor sees “Request sent. [business name] will contact you.” When the site has a phone number, a Call button with that number appears under it.
Leads are listed in the card under Leads from your price tool, with the date, name, zip, contact, estimate shown and which alert went out.
Limits
The contact step can be sent 12 times per hour from one internet address. After that, the visitor still sees the estimate, but the details are not sent and the visitor sees “We couldn’t send your details just now — please call the business directly.” The same message appears if the details fail to send for any other reason.
Questions
Is the estimate a quote?
No. The estimate screen and the visitor’s email both say it is a ballpark range, not a final price.
Does a visitor have to give a phone number?
No. Name, Email, Zip are required. Phone is optional.
Can a visitor pick more than one service?
Yes. Each service gets its own questions and its own line on the estimate, and the total adds them together.
Can a visitor change an answer after seeing the price?
Yes. Change my answers goes back to the services screen.
What happens when I turn the tool off?
The tool stops loading. Anyone who opens it sees “This price tool isn’t turned on yet.” Your prices and leads are kept.
Is a visitor’s information sold?
No. See the privacy policy.
