Accepting applications from independent businesses
Your business.
Our next growth story.
You bring the business and the expertise. We build your website, set up bookings and payments, and help you reach more customers. Together, we share the progress, challenges, and results in an ongoing video series.
Selected businesses get setup and hands-on support with our normal subscription fees waived.
Transaction fees apply. Advertising and other third-party costs are disclosed separately. Program duration and full terms are agreed before you join.
The opportunity
You’ve built a business worth finding.
You know your work and your customers. You may already get business through referrals, calls, texts, or Facebook. But building a website, keeping up with inquiries, and figuring out online marketing can become another job.
We take on that work with you. We learn how your business operates, set up the pieces you need, and stay involved to help improve them.
How the partnership works
You run the business.
We build and run the online side.
We learn how your business works, build the pieces you need, and stay involved to keep them working.
What’s included
Practical help, from first click to paid work.
A website for your business
Explain your services or products, show where you work, answer common questions, and give customers a clear next step.
Bookings and order requests
Collect the right information upfront. Let customers request a quote, choose an available window, or submit an order, depending on how your business works.
Payments that fit your process
Set up payment links, invoices, deposits, or checkout around the policies you approve. Transaction fees apply.
Help getting found
Improve your local search presence, business listings, service pages, and review-request process. No guaranteed search rankings.
Customer follow-up
Set up confirmations, reminders, and appropriate follow-up so customers know what happens next.
Ongoing improvements
Review real inquiries, completed work, and feedback. Keep improving the parts that matter to your business.
About advertising: Paid advertising may be tested when it makes sense. Any advertising budget requires your approval and is separate from the included program services.

Follow the story, from setup to results.
We document the experience in an ongoing series for Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Each part shares what we’re building, what we’re learning, and what happens in the real business.

The exchange
Why we’re offering this.
We want to show what our platform and hands-on support can do for real businesses. You get help building and running your online presence. We get to learn from the experience and share the story in our marketing.
We’re looking for owners willing to appear in the series, provide feedback, and share agreed information about how the business is doing.
Know a business this fits? Applications are open.
Participation includes
- An introductory conversation and periodic progress check-ins.
- Footage of the owner and their work, using filming arrangements that fit the business.
- Access to metrics so we can measure progress honestly.
- Permission to use approved footage, business branding, and results in program marketing.
Before you join, we agree on the time commitment, filming arrangements, information that can be shared, and publication approval process. Customers and their properties are featured only with permission. Customer personal information stays private.
How it works
Four steps, starting with a conversation.
Apply
Tell us about your business, how customers find you, and what you want help with.
Find the fit
We talk through your operation, capacity, and willingness to participate in the series. Together, we define the initial scope and program terms.
Build and launch
We handle setup. You approve your content, prices, booking rules, and customer-facing process.
Improve and share
We support the systems, review results, and document the experience in successive parts of the series.
Who should apply
Good at your work. Ready for help with the rest.
You don’t need a polished website or a large following. We’re interested in existing trades and service businesses whose owners are ready to collaborate and share the experience.
Good-fit criteria
- You already operate a business and can reliably serve customers.
- You have capacity for more work or a clear operational problem to improve.
- You can provide accurate service, pricing, and availability information.
- You are comfortable participating in a public series.
- You can make time for setup input and occasional check-ins.
No geographic restriction. Applications are open wherever you run your business. We discuss support and filming arrangements as part of reviewing your application.
The owner knows the trade — the systems should reflect that
Your experience is essential input. We start by understanding the routines and exceptions you already work with — how quotes are made, when a booking needs approval, how payment is collected, and what causes an inquiry to stall.
A firewood supplier needs wood type, quantity, delivery address, available delivery windows, and placement instructions. Custom cuts may require a quote. If payment is collected on arrival, the order flow should preserve that policy.
A gutter cleaner needs the address, building height, access details, gutter guards, and possibly photos before confirming a price or appointment.
A landscaper may need to schedule a site visit before providing a quote, then arrange recurring work after approval.
These are examples of discovering requirements, not promises that every feature is included for every participant. We agree on a manageable scope for each business. Owners approve prices, exceptions, service areas, capacity, and job acceptance — the program makes it easier to apply that judgment consistently.
The cost, plainly
What “free” means.
For selected participants, initial setup is included and our normal platform subscription fees are waived during the agreed program period. Transaction fees still apply to payments processed through our platform.
Before you enroll, we provide the exact transaction rate, explain whether payment-processing fees are included or separate, and disclose any domain, software, or other third-party costs. Advertising is optional and requires your approval.
We also explain how long the subscription waiver lasts and what happens when participation ends.
Applying does not authorize charges or commit you to joining.
