Rebuild local businesses' old websites before you pitch them

Who pays

Local businesses like plumbers, dentists, and roofers pay a one-time build fee plus a monthly fee for hosting, updates, and basic search optimization. Dev_Linc suggests pitching $2,200 one-time plus $197/mo and says this can clear $2k-$4k per client. That is the poster's suggested offer, not reported sales, so treat the pricing as a suggestion.

How to build it

1. Find well-reviewed businesses with old sites

   Search Google Maps for terms like 'plumber near me' or 'dentist [your city]'. Look for businesses with 20-150 reviews whose website looks dated or who have no website at all.

2. Collect details from their Google listing

   Note the business name, services, phone, address, best Google reviews, and any photos they already have.

3. Build the new site with Claude Code

   Give Claude Code the details and ask for a fast, mobile-first site using Astro and Tailwind, with a booking form and clean typography.

4. Publish a live preview link

   Put the site on Vercel so you have a working link you can share.

5. Send the owner the preview

   Send a screenshot and the preview link with a short note saying the site was built from their own Google listing, along with your one-time and monthly price.

6. Collect fees and switch the domain

   Charge the build fee and monthly plan through Stripe Payment Links, then point their domain to the new site.
