What is actually wrong
Four numbers that make contractors leave. Four that replace them.
Each column is a number a contractor runs into, where it comes from, and the Ziwi price that takes its place.
The website
$3,000 to $8,000
The quote a contractor gets for a new website from other agencies
Typical agency range for a contractor site, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi
$0
Twelve months on a hosting plan and the $2,500 build fee is waived. Hosting rides along.
A change
Weeks
How long a small change, like new kitchen photos, waits
The word contractors use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi
24 hours
Small edits and new job photos, done by the person who built the page.
The lead
Sold to several
How many contractors one marketplace lead goes to
How the marketplaces describe their own product: one homeowner request, several contractors quoting. Not a count we took.
At Ziwi
Only you
Every estimate request comes off your own pages and ads; no other contractor sees it. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement
12 months
The term a contractor is asked to sign
One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi
Month to month
The site, the domain and the ad accounts are the company's. Walking away costs $0.
Two top-row figures are words instead of numbers, because no one measures either across contractors: "weeks" is what contractors say a photo update waits, and "several" is how the marketplaces describe their own lead. The Ziwi figures under the rule are on the pricing page.

Questions
Asked, answered, and the fine print beside it
Six questions, the answer in the orange column, and the qualifier that would otherwise arrive on the call.
| The question | The answer | The fine print |
|---|---|---|
| Which agencies build websites for home builders and contractors at a published price? | Ziwi does, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, every rung published. Elsewhere, $249 a month all in, website included (Footbridge Media); $2,500 a month with the site included, no contract (Web Divisor) (checked November 2026). See what home builder marketing costs, line by line. | $497 for spend between $1,500 and $3,500, $797 beyond. The spend is on the company's card. |
| Is there a contract like the marketplaces have? | No. Month to month, cancel any time. | Site, domain and ad accounts are yours; leaving costs $0. Only the free website needs 12 months of hosting. |
| What should a construction company put on its website? | Finished jobs first: real photos of kitchens, additions and new builds, each on its own service page. Then the service area, license and insurance, named reviews, and an estimate button on every page. | Photos sell the job; the button books it. |
| Are shared marketplace leads worth it for a construction company? | Sometimes, never as the plan. A marketplace sells one homeowner request to several builders, so you quote against everyone who paid for it. Leads off your own pages and ads are yours alone. | The marketplaces describe their own product this way. |
| How fast does this start? | Ads within 24 hours, the company site in 3 days. | Once discovery, approvals and account access are done. |
| Is the free contractor website actually free? | Yes. The full $2,500 build fee is waived. | Kept 12 months on $99 hosting or $299 Ziwi Care. |
