Your brief

## Describe the job in plain words.

Tell me what you want built or fixed, what it needs to work with, and how you will know it is done right. You receive a copy of this brief. No invoice or charge is created here.

Name   Email

What do you want built or fixed?  Example: a five-page website for my roofing company with a quote form.      What does it need to work with?  Your current site, a booking tool, a price sheet. Write “not sure” if you do not know.      How will you know it is done right?  Example: a customer can ask for a quote from a phone in under a minute. “Not sure” is fine.

How did you find Scale With Search?  Optional.     If you asked an AI assistant, what did you ask it?  Optional.

### 1. Business

- What do you do, and who should the work help?

### 2. Visitor's job

- What should a visitor be able to do?

- Name the main action and any second action.

### 3. Domain

- Do you own the domain?

- Who manages it, if known?

- What existing site must stay available?

### 4. Material

- What copy, service information, logo, and photos can you supply?

- What is missing?

- Who owns the material and approves its use?

### 5. Connections

- What must this connect to, and what result is required?

- Name the tool or destination if known. Do not supply credentials.

### 6. Timing

- What date would you prefer?

- What event or dependency matters?

- When will approved material be ready?

These answers start the scope. They do not reserve a date or authorize account access.

## Prices and terms.

Your site build price follows the page list, supplied material, and required features.

### Site build.

Small website, SEO setup included

$1,500 to $2,500

Gallery, CMS, or multi-location website

### Working session.

The session is $1,500, credited toward the build when the job needs working through first. Its written scope states the job to map and how the credit applies. The session does not buy an unspecified website or complete business system. [Read what the working session covers](/audit).

### Content library with SEO and signal desk.

Your content library with SEO and signal desk each receive a written scope. The signal desk uses daily local signal checks and weekly delivery. Scope and price are set in writing.

Hosting carries no charge for Scale With Search builds. Domain registration, listing feeds, third-party subscriptions, and integration work need separate scope decisions.

### Payment and handoff.

You see the full written scope and the fixed price before you pay anything. Then every build is paid in full before work starts. No split payments. All sales are final. Website work includes two revision rounds. Additional changes need another written scope.

At turnover, you receive the domain, files, and logins named in the written scope. Access transfer uses an agreed secure method, not this form.

## Questions before you pay.

Your written scope settles price, timing, ownership, IDX, and revisions before payment.

**What does a real estate website cost.**

A small site build costs $1,500 to $2,500 with SEO setup; CMS, gallery, or multi-location builds cost $3,500 to $5,000. Your written scope states the fixed amount.

**When can the website launch.**

Build timing is set after the page list, material, and connections are known. Your preferred date and dependencies belong in the brief.

**Who owns the website after handoff.**

You receive the domain, files, and logins named in the written scope at turnover. Hosting carries no charge for Scale With Search builds.

**Does the site build include IDX.**

IDX has no published integration price here and needs an explicit scope decision. Confirm the MLS, provider, permissions, feed costs, and maintenance responsibility before treating it as included.

**How many revision rounds are included.**

Website work includes two revision rounds. Additional changes need another written scope.

## Example of a written scope.

This fictional scope shows how the result, material, delivery, timing, and exclusions fit together. Fieldnote Repair restores damaged books. Its visitor needs repair information and a way to request an assessment.

Result

One page that explains the three repair services and lets a visitor ask for an assessment.

Material

Your service notes, logo, and four photos. You confirm you own them and the facts are right.

Domain

Scale With Search confirms who holds the domain and what runs on it today.

Request

You agree where requests go. Scale With Search tests delivery before launch.

Timing

You prefer mid-October. The date is set once your material is ready.

Outside scope

Automatic repair pricing, booking, payments, customer logins, advertising, and ongoing operations.

The example selects no method, date, or final price. The accepted written scope would name each one.
