- How much does a website for a painting business cost?
- Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. After that, SeenOnMain plans start at $49 a month, or $99 a month (or $83 a month billed annually) for the full setup with no setup fee, covering your mini-website, quote request form, hosting, and automatic follow-up. A traditional agency build typically costs $10,000 or more upfront plus a monthly retainer.
- Can I get a painting website with an online estimate request form?
- Yes. Every SeenOnMain mini-website includes a quote request form built into the page, so a homeowner can describe the job, interior rooms, an exterior, cabinets or a deck, without calling. You get an instant text alert the moment they submit it.
- Does this work for small interior jobs, not just full exteriors?
- Yes. The same mini-website and follow-up system works whether the lead is one bedroom, a set of kitchen cabinets, or a whole exterior. The Day 1, 3, 7 and 14 follow-up applies to any job size.
- How fast can my painting business get a website live?
- Most businesses are live the same day they fill out a short form about their business, services and service area.
- Do I need to be technical to set this up?
- No. You fill out one short form about your business and SeenOnMain handles the server, the alerts, and the follow-up. If you can fill out a form, you are ready.
- Will my phone ring for every lead, even in the busy season?
- Yes, up to 20 calls a day per business. Every lead also gets an instant text alert, whether you pick up the call or not. You turn these alerts on in your dashboard.
- I already use estimating or job software like PaintScout or Jobber. Do I need to switch?
- No. SeenOnMain does not replace your estimating, scheduling or invoicing software. Paste your booking link into your Business Profile and every automated follow-up email sends the lead straight to it. You keep estimates, jobs and invoices exactly where they are today.
- What if a customer calls while I'm on a ladder or mid-coat?
- Starter, Growth and Pro include your own dedicated toll-free number just for this, so it reads as a real business line, not a personal cell number. It rings your cell right alongside your own phone, and you can press 1 to answer live or 2 to send them a text right then instead of letting it ring out. Callers are asked at the start of the call whether it's OK to text them back, and the ones who press 1 get that text if you can't get to it, so they never think you ignored the call. Your existing number is never touched. Texts to callers only go out between 8am and 8pm in your time zone.
- What happens when a lead comes in at night or on a weekend?
- Your form takes the request at any hour, and emails go out right away: one to you with the lead's details, and your approved Day 1 follow-up to the lead. The call and text alerts to you run around the clock unless you set quiet hours of your own, and you turn them on in your dashboard. Texts to leads and callers only go out between 8am and 8pm in your time zone, so nothing texts a customer overnight. SeenOnMain does not answer your phone, so it is not a replacement for a staffed night line.
