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.
Some services ask for a size or a count first. The answer to the next question is a price per unit, and the tool multiplies it by that number. When the visitor leaves the box, a number outside the allowed range is moved to the nearest end of the range.
| Service | Question | Unit | Allowed | Starts at |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Driveway Cleaning | About how many square feet is your driveway? | sq ft | 100–3000 | 600 |
| Patio, Pool Deck or Walkway | About how many square feet do you need cleaned? | sq ft | 50–3000 | 400 |
| Deck Cleaning | About how many square feet is your deck? | sq ft | 50–1500 | 400 |
| Fence Cleaning | About how many linear feet of fence do you need cleaned? | linear ft | 20–500 | 150 |
| Gutter Exterior Brightening | About how many linear feet of gutter do you have? | linear ft | 20–500 | 150 |
| Exterior Window Cleaning | How many windows do you want cleaned on the outside? | windows | 1–100 | 20 |
| Commercial Storefront & Sidewalk | About how many square feet of sidewalk and flat area do you need cleaned? | sq ft | 100–10000 | 1000 |
| Fleet & Vehicle Washing | How many vehicles do you need washed? | vehicles | 1–50 | 5 |
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.
The timing question (“how soon” or “when”) does not change the price in this tool. It is passed on with the lead.
Then the tool puts the services together:
- Some services have their own minimum. A service that comes out lower is raised to it: House Wash / Soft Wash $250; Driveway Cleaning $100; Patio, Pool Deck or Walkway $100; Deck Cleaning $100; Fence Cleaning $100; Roof Cleaning / Soft Wash $300; Gutter Exterior Brightening $100; Exterior Window Cleaning $100; Commercial Storefront & Sidewalk $200; Rust, Oil or Graffiti Stain Removal $100; Fleet & Vehicle Washing $150.
- The services picked are added together.
- The total is not widened. You can widen it with How wide your range shows.
- A total under $150 is raised to $150, the tool minimum.
- The total is rounded to the nearest $10.
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 House Wash / Soft Wash and answers:
- “How big is your home?” — Under 1,500 sq ft: adds $250–$450.
- “How many stories is your home?” — 1 story: no change.
- “What is the outside of your home made of?” — Vinyl or aluminum siding: no change.
- “Anything else you need?” — nothing picked: no change.
- “When would you like this done?” — As soon as possible: no change.
The total is rounded to the nearest $10. The visitor sees $250 – $450. The House Wash / Soft Wash line shows $250 – $450.
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.
- General questions: the rows for “When would you like this done?”.
- 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.
