You pay the companies directly
Use your billing details for the domain, email and phone. I invoice my work; domain and email setup are included. You keep account access and receive renewal notices.
Ask for one combined quote
Tell me which extras you want. I'll quote work, subscriptions and hardware together before buying.
We'll agree whether I invoice those costs or use your card, and who pays renewals. Only listed ongoing costs are covered. You own the accounts.
Square setup and payment fees
No monthly software fee with Square Free. Set it up yourself or get help at $50/hr, quoted first.
Five steps to get started
- Create an account. Sign up with your email and business type. Choose Square Free.
- Verify and link your bank. Complete Square's identity and business checks yourself. Link the bank account that will receive payments.
- Install the app. Get Square Point of Sale from your iPad's App Store and sign in. Check iPad compatibility before buying a reader.
- Pair the optional reader. Charge it and turn on Bluetooth. In Square: More > Settings > Hardware > Square Readers > Connect a Reader. Follow the prompts.
- Make an invoice. Open Invoices in Square Dashboard or the Square Invoices app. Add customer, job, amount, due date and payment methods. Save a draft to check before sending.
Payment fees
Square deducts a fee from each electronic payment. These fees are outside the website estimate.
- Bank payment through an invoice: 1%, with a $1 minimum.
- Card tapped or inserted in the reader: 2.6% + 15¢.
- Card paid through an invoice: 3.3% + 30¢.
- Card number typed in manually: 3.5% + 15¢.
Rates shown are for Square Free in the US. See Square's plans and fees.
Start with invoices if you prefer
Customers pay invoices on their phone or computer. No reader needed; add one later for cards at the job.
Even with my help, you complete identity/bank checks. Payments go to your Square account and linked bank.
A separate business number
Quo, formerly OpenPhone, provides the number through an app on your phone.
One number for the business
Choose the number before creating listings. Use it consistently on listings and the site, with voicemail and business hours.
Texting requires carrier registration and approval. Keep your regular mobile for verification codes; some services won't send them to internet numbers.
How to get it
Sign up, choose a number, install the app and register for texting. Ask for setup help in your combined quote.
Budget: $22/month + $19.50 once for one user. Extra users cost more.
Google reports and listings
Search Console reports Google search performance. Analytics reports visits, sources and pages viewed. I set up both in your accounts and check them at launch. No monthly tool fee; review and improvements use Marketing hours.
$850 package: Google Search and Maps listing with services, service area, photos and website link.
$1,000 package: adds Facebook, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp, BBB, Angi, Houzz, Nextdoor and MapQuest with matching business details. Ads and paid memberships cost extra.
Requests reach your email and free Brevo contact list. Text new job photos for updates within agreed hours.
How the site is built
- I use your notes and AI tools, then read every page before launch. This keeps costs down.
- Want to edit the site yourself? Ask for a higher-priced option.
- Want all copy written without AI? Ask for a separate quote at a higher price.
You keep account access. Providers have their own billing and cancellation terms; stopping my work doesn't cancel their bills.
