Small Business Marketing: How Local Businesses Actually Get Customers
More customers for the business where you answer the phone yourself, no $5,000 retainer, prices printed first.

What is actually wrong
Four numbers that make owners leave. Four that replace them.
Four figures an owner-operator runs into, where each comes from, and the published Ziwi figure that stands in for it.
The website
$2,000 to $10,000
The website quote a one-truck business gets from other agencies
Typical small agency range, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi
$0
The $2,500 build fee is dropped in full when a plan runs 12 months. Hosting included.
A change
Weeks
How long new hours wait at an agency
The word owners use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi
24 hours
Hours, a price, a photo: live within 24 hours by the person who built the page.
New customers
None you can trace
New customers you can tie to last month's spend
The gap owners describe: a report of clicks, a week with the same gaps in it. Not a measured average.
At Ziwi
Counted
Every call and form matched to the ad or search that brought it, reported weekly. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement
12 months
The term an agency asks a small business 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 are in your name, not the agency's. Leaving costs $0.
Two of the top figures are words because nothing measured exists for them: "weeks" is what owners write about a slow change, and the third is the customer nobody can trace to a report of clicks. Every Ziwi figure is printed on the pricing page, no call needed.

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 marketing agencies for small businesses publish their full price list online? | Ziwi does, every price on this page: local SEO or ads management starts at $297 a month, every rung published. 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 with spend to $3,500, $797 above. |
| Do I sign anything long term? | No. It runs month to month. | Ads within 24 hours, the website in 3 days. |
| Who owns a website I did not build? | You own it from day one, and at $0 if you leave. | Site, domain, ad accounts, your photos. |
| What should a one-person business spend on marketing first? | The Google Business Profile: free, and what near me searches show. Then a site with a page, price and button each. Ads third, once someone answers the phone. | Profile, site, ads. |
| Should a small business run ads or chase rankings first? | Ads if the phone must ring now, rankings if it can wait. Ads stop with the budget; local search takes 3 to 6 months and outlasts them. | Usually both. |
| Is the free website a catch? | No. The full $2,500 build fee is waived. | $99 hosting or $299 Ziwi Care, kept 12 months. |
Month to month throughout. See every published price.
