Published price source ↗What changes the scope
Locations and service areas
Ask which branches, business profiles and service pages the proposal covers. An additional location can require work that is absent from a single-location package.
Build work and recurring work
A site build, ongoing content and campaign management have different billing periods. Separate the launch cost from the fee to maintain or improve the work.
Advertising budget
Request the amount that reaches the ad platform, the management fee and any markup. Keep these figures separate when comparing quotes.
Access and ownership
Check who controls the site, ad accounts, phone numbers and customer records. Include transfer requirements in the agreement before paying a setup fee.
Retainer, pay-per-lead or commission?
A retainer pays for an agreed scope of work. A per-lead charge applies to a defined contact or data record. A commission applies to an order or move under the provider’s rules. None of these billing models establishes your profit without booking and job-cost data.
The moving lead cost guide separates prospect data, shared leads, exclusive inquiries and marketplace commissions so unlike products are not pooled into one price range.
Contract terms to check
- Initial term, auto-renewal and cancellation notice.
- Setup charges and what must be repaid on an early exit.
- Who owns the domain, website, ad accounts and tracking history.
- What the fee includes and which costs require extra approval.
- How work, reporting and account access transfer if you leave.
Red flags in a proposal
- A proposal that will not separate agency fees from advertising spend.
- Unclear ownership or no written transfer process for your website and accounts.
- Performance claims without dates, spending context or a clear definition of a booked job.
- A cancellation clause you cannot reconcile with the sales promise.
- A claim of lead exclusivity without a recipient limit in the agreement.
- Guaranteed search positions or promised bookings without written conditions you can assess.
Calculate your cost per booked move
Use spend and bookings from the same period. Include agency fees, ad spend, purchased leads and software used for that channel. This calculation uses your inputs, not a claimed industry booking rate.
Frequently asked questions

What does a moving-company website cost?
The captured MMAI website options are $4,000–$9,500 one-time. That is one provider’s pricing, not a market range. Ask other providers for a scope-matched proposal that separates hosting and maintenance.
Does the agency fee include Google Ads spend?
