Small Business Marketing: How Local Businesses Actually Get Customers
More customers through the door, without a $5,000 a month retainer, at prices you can read before you call.

What is actually wrong
Four numbers that make owners leave. Four that replace them.
Each column is a figure a small business runs into, with where that figure comes from, and the published Ziwi figure that replaces it.
The website
$2,000 to $10,000
What a small business is quoted to have a website built
Typical small agency range, Ziwi market notes 2026. A range vendors advertise, not a survey.
At Ziwi
$0
The $1,000 build fee is waived when you keep a plan 12 months. Hosting included.
A change
Weeks
How long a small website change waits
The word owners use in reviews. No measured industry average for this exists.
At Ziwi
24 hours
Small edits and content changes, done, by the person who built the page.
New customers
None you can trace
New customers you can point to from what you spent last month
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 traced to the ad or the search that produced it, reported weekly. Results vary by market, offer and spend.
The agreement
12 months
A typical agency contract term
One agency estimate with no named survey behind it. Treat it as a common term, not a statistic.
At Ziwi
Month to month
You own the website, the domain and the ad accounts. Leaving costs $0.
Two of the four figures on the top row are words rather than numbers, because no measured industry average exists for either: "weeks" is the word owners use in reviews for how long a change waits, and the third column is the outcome owners say they cannot point to, not a count of anything. Every Ziwi figure under the rule is published on this site today.
