Price and contract
What it costs, and what you keep.
How much does it cost?
$297 a month. That covers the website, the Google profile work, the review system, and the monthly search work. There is no setup fee and no build fee.
Why is it only $297? What is the catch?
There is no catch, but there is a reason. We do one thing for one industry. There is no long research phase for each client. No custom design phase. No account manager in the middle. The website structure, the profile checklist and the review system are already built. A general agency charges more because it starts from zero every time. We don't.
Is there a contract?
No. It is month to month. You can cancel any time. Nothing locks you in for six or twelve months.
What happens if I cancel?
Billing stops and the work stops. Your Google profile is yours and stays yours. Your domain is yours. Tell us where you want the website content and we will hand it over.
Do I own my website?
The domain is in your name and the content is yours. While you are a client, we host and maintain the site as part of the monthly service. That keeps it fast and lets us keep improving it.
The work
What we actually do, every month.
What does Tongfluence actually do?
We run the Google side of your grooming business. We build a website that can be found. We set up your Google Business Profile the right way. We give you a system for asking for reviews. And we do monthly work based on your real search data. It is one monthly service, not four separate jobs.
Is Tongfluence only for dog groomers?
Yes. Everything we build is for grooming businesses. That means salons, mobile groomers, and groomers who also offer daycare or boarding. That is the whole point. The work already fits your business before we start.
What exactly do you do every month?
We read your search data and your profile data. We pick the one change most likely to bring you appointments. We make it and we measure it. That might mean rewriting a page that gets seen but not clicked. Or adding a page for a service people already search for. Or adding a town, updating photos, or chasing reviews. One change at a time, based on real data.
How does the review system work?
You get a simple way to ask every client for a Google review after their visit, using your own review link. We never pick and choose who gets asked. We never offer anything for a review. We never write reviews. All three break Google's rules and put your profile at risk.
Does this work for mobile grooming?
Yes. Several of the sites we built are for mobile groomers. Mobile grooming needs a different setup. No street address on the site. Service areas instead of one location. And a page for each town the van goes to.
Do you run ads too?
Yes. We run Google Local Services Ads and Facebook and Instagram ads for groomers who want them. The $297 a month covers the four parts described on this site. If you want ads too, book a call. We will talk through whether they make sense for you and how we would set them up.
Getting started
Where you are now, and how long it takes.
I already have a website. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Your site may be fast, with a real page for each service and each town. If it gets people to the phone, the better move is to keep it and fix what is missing. If it is a one-page site, or loads slowly on a phone, or has no service pages, a rebuild is usually faster. We will tell you which one you have.
I already have a Google Business Profile. Is that enough?
Having one is not the same as having it set up well. The common gaps are simple. The wrong main category. An empty services list. No service areas for a mobile business. Old photos. No recent reviews. All of that can be fixed. It is usually the fastest part of the first month.
How long does SEO take?
Profile changes can show results within weeks. Website changes take longer. The first useful search data comes about 28 days after launch. A fair read on progress takes a few months. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is guessing.
How much of my time does this take?
About one call to start, a list of your services and prices, access to your Google profile, and photos when you have them. After that, the monthly work does not need you unless something about your business changes.
Still have a question?
Ask it on the call. We look at your Google profile and your current site while you are on the line. You get a straight answer on whether this is worth it for your business.
