What is actually wrong

Four numbers that make movers leave. Four that replace them.

What a mover is quoted, where it comes from, and the Ziwi figure beside it.

The website $3,000 to $8,000 What other agencies quote a mover to build the website Typical agency range for a service business site, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi $0 $0 to build. The $2,500 fee is waived when a hosting plan runs 12 months.
A change Weeks How long adding storage or a new town to the site waits The word movers use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi 24 hours A town page, a storage line, a peak price, live within 24 hours.
The lead Sold to several How many movers one broker lead is sold to How brokers describe their own product: one request, sold to more than one mover. The count varies by broker.
At Ziwi Only you Every call and quote comes off your own pages and ads. No other mover sees it. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement 12 months The term most agencies ask a mover 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 Site, domain and ad accounts stay in the company's name. Leaving costs $0.

Two top row figures are words, since nobody measured them: "weeks" is how movers describe the wait for a site change, "several" is the brokers' own word for how many companies get a lead. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.

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 questionThe answerThe fine print
Which marketing agencies for moving companies publish their prices? Ziwi does, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, printed here, no per-lead fee. Local SEO and ads management run $297, $497 or $797 a month per location, reviews $197 and hosting $99, with every line on the pricing page. $497 past $1,500 in spend, $797 past $3,500. Spend stays on your card.
Is there a contract? No. Month to month, even after peak season. The free site is the exception: keep hosting 12 months. Site, ads and every lead are yours. Leaving costs $0.
How do movers stop paying for shared leads? By owning the source. A broker lead is one quote request sold to several movers, so every company pays and races. Movers with their own town pages, search ads and Google profile get the call alone. The lead history stays theirs.
Does a moving company need a page for each city it serves? Yes. People search movers plus the town they are leaving or heading to, and Google shows the company with a page written for that town. One page per town covers both ends of the move. Each service gets a page too.
How fast is the first move booked? Search ads in 24 hours, the site in 3 days. After discovery, approvals and access. Peak season comes when it comes.
Is the free mover's website really free? Yes. The $2,500 build fee is waived, all of it. Kept 12 months on $99 hosting or $299 Care.

Month to month throughout. See every published price.
