Step 01 · Find

Pick one real local business with a weak or missing website — that's the target for your first demo. About 10 minutes.

Universal Website Prompt

You are a senior local-business website strategist, conversion copywriter, and UX/UI designer.

Your job is to turn the verified business information below into ONE concise, complete, ready-to-paste build prompt for an AI website builder such as Base44.

The site must feel made for this exact local business. It must help a potential customer understand the offer, trust the business, and take one clear next action.

<business_information>
BUSINESS NAME:
GOOGLE BUSINESS CATEGORY:
CITY / SERVICE AREA:
PHONE / EMAIL / BOOKING LINK:
EXISTING WEBSITE:
GOOGLE DESCRIPTION:
SERVICES:
HOURS:
GOOGLE RATING / REVIEW FACTS, IF PROVIDED:
OWNER-PROVIDED FACTS OR ASSETS:
OTHER NOTES:

Paste raw Google Business Profile, Google Maps, existing website, or owner information here if the fields above are incomplete.
</business_information>

<task>
First, infer the likely local customer, the business category, the primary customer problem, and the single most natural conversion action.

Then write one complete website-builder prompt using this structure:
1. Business goal and customer
2. Verified facts to use
3. Primary CTA and conversion path
4. Full website structure and section-by-section content direction
5. Visual direction
6. Mobile UX, accessibility, and technical requirements
7. Facts that must be confirmed before publishing
</task>

<non_negotiable_rules>
- Use only facts supplied in <business_information>.
- Never invent ratings, review quotes, pricing, discounts, years in business, licenses, certifications, awards, staff, service areas, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, legal claims, or before-and-after results.
- If an essential fact is missing, use a visible placeholder in this exact format: [CONFIRM: what is needed].
- Do not use Lorem Ipsum, fake logos, fake testimonials, generic AI hype, unsupported superlatives, or fake urgency.
- Do not copy competitors.
- Use language that a real local customer would understand.
- Make the website mobile-first, fast to scan, accessible, and focused on one primary action.
- Use phone, booking, map, review, or form features only when the related information is actually supplied. Otherwise use [CONFIRM].
- Build a complete lead-generation website, not a single hero section.
</non_negotiable_rules>

<website_structure>
Choose only the sections the facts support, but normally include:
- sticky navigation with one primary CTA;
- hero with a clear customer outcome and local context;
- services with specific benefit-led descriptions;
- trust/proof section only when proof is verified;
- process, why choose us, or service area when relevant;
- FAQ based on likely customer questions without inventing business claims;
- contact, quote, booking, or call section;
- footer with verified business details and [CONFIRM] placeholders where needed.
</website_structure>

<visual_direction>
Choose a design direction that matches the niche and customer:
- state the palette direction, type mood, imagery direction, layout rhythm, spacing, and component style;
- make it distinctive and credible, not a generic template;
- use a restrained palette, readable typography, strong hierarchy, and generous whitespace;
- avoid visual gimmicks that make a local service business feel untrustworthy.
</visual_direction>

<output_contract>
Return ONLY one final builder-ready prompt in English.
Start exactly with:
"Build a complete mobile-first website for [BUSINESS NAME]."

Do not explain your reasoning. Do not ask questions. Do not add a preamble.
Keep the final builder prompt focused and implementation-ready. It should clearly state the website's function, layout, visual direction, conversion goal, factual constraints, and [CONFIRM] placeholders.
</output_contract>

Done when You have copied one builder-ready prompt for this business.

Build this demo in Base44

Mark step complete

Check your demoUse this when the demo is built but not yet sent.

The demo is the whole game. The owner should open the link and think: “That really looks like my business — and stronger than what I have. How do I get this live?” Your goal is not a perfect design; it is a clearer, more modern, more convincing version of their site. Budget 15–20 minutes, not a whole day.

Strong-demo formula: recognisable business → strong first impression → clear what they do → easy to become a customer. If one link is weak, fix that — don't bury it under more sections.

1 · Is it clearly their business?

Business name spelled correctly.
City / service area is right.
Their main service is visible on the first screen — not generic “Quality Service”.
Real services, hours, phone, address shown where known.
No other business name, random city, placeholder text or stray photos.

2 · First screen: impact without overload

Open it on a phone. Don't scroll for five seconds.

Instantly clear what the business does.
One clear action button: call, get a quote, book, or request.
Looks more modern and premium than the typical site in this niche.
Headline isn't tiny, generic or obviously AI-templated.

Can you finish this in five seconds: “This business helps [who] get [what result]”? If not, rewrite the first screen.

3 · Trust check

Plain language, not corporate jargon.
Real phone / address / clear way to make contact.
No fake reviews, fake numbers, awards or promises.
No “#1 / best in town / guaranteed” claims they can't back up.

4 · Customer path

Obvious which button to press — and it works.
Phone number is tap-to-call on mobile.
Map, WhatsApp, form or booking go where they promise.
Form is short; a clear “thanks, we'll be in touch” shows after submit.

5 · 3-minute technical pass

Checked on phone and on desktop.
Pressed every main button; opened footer + social links.
No cut-off text or overlapping blocks.
No placeholder words: Lorem ipsum, Your Business, 123-456-7890, City, State.

6 · Real-people test (10 min)

Show the link to two or three people who aren't designers and don't know the business. Don't ask “is it pretty?” — send this:

Tester message

Can you open this link on your phone for two minutes and answer honestly? I don't need support — I need what you actually understood at first glance. 1. What do you think this business does? 2. Who does it help, and in what city/area? 3. What would you tap if you wanted to become a customer? 4. Does it look like a real site for this business? Why / why not? 5. What was unclear, felt off, or looked strange?

Fix only the 1–3 most repeated problems. Don't run endless surveys.

7 · Decision — traffic light

Green — send it

Business is recognisable, first screen is clear, links/phone/form work, testers understand it and know where to tap.

Yellow — fix in 15 min

First text too generic, missing city/service/CTA, one mobile glitch, one block testers didn't get. Fix and send.

Red — don't send yet

Wrong name/service/city/contacts, looks like a random template, unclear what they do, broken buttons, or fake reviews/claims. Rebuild the core.

If it passed green, don't chase perfection — send it. A real owner's reaction beats two more hours of polishing.

Reach the ownerUse this when you need the best way to contact the decision-maker.

This isn't a sales script — it's how to pick a few good ways to reach the person who decides. “Contact strength” is not a conversion promise; it's the relative chance the owner sees your message and agrees to a short talk when you already have a personalised demo.

Channels, by contact strength

Channel	Use when	Strength
Warm intro / referral	You share a contact or customer	Very high
Call the business number	Local service, owner is hands-on	High
Visit in person	Salon, shop, restaurant — at a quiet hour	High
Personal work message (WhatsApp/SMS)	Owner's work number is public	High
Email to owner / work inbox	Address on site or domain email	Medium
Instagram / Facebook DM	Active page the owner runs	Medium
Site form / Yelp / directory	No direct contact available	Lower

Minimal multi-channel sequence

Day 1: one call + one personal message in the main channel.
Day 3: a short follow-up in the same channel.
Day 6–7: one alternative legitimate channel if no reply.
Then stop — don't chase or paste the same message everywhere.

Rules: use only public work contacts or contacts given with permission · mention the specific business and a specific detail of the demo · respect “don't contact” and platform rules · never buy contact lists or promise a result you can't show.

Measure attempts → decision-maker contacts → replies → demos booked → demos shown → deals. After ~50 attempts, keep the two channels that produced the most real conversations in your niche.

Send + follow upUse this when the demo is ready to send.

You don't need to be a salesperson. Send a short, specific message with one link and one ask, then follow up a fixed number of times. Copy a template, swap the [brackets] for real details, send.

Message rules: name the business and one specific thing you improved · one link, one ask · keep it short · never claim it's their official site — it's a demo idea · one message per channel, not five.

First message — pick your channel

Short (WhatsApp / DM / SMS)

Hi [Owner name], I'm local and I build websites for [niche] businesses. I made a quick demo site for [Business name] to show how it could look on a phone — clearer services and an easy “call/quote” button. Want me to send the link? No obligation, just an idea.

Email (a little longer)

Subject: A quick website idea for [Business name] Hi [Owner name], I help [niche] businesses in [city] get a clearer, mobile-friendly website. I put together a short demo for [Business name] so you can see the idea rather than just read about it: [demo link] It's just a concept using your public info — nothing is live and there's no obligation. If you like the direction, I can make it your real site, launched on your own account and domain. Would it be worth a quick look? [Your name] · [phone / handle]

Phone opener (say this)

Hi, is this [Owner name]? I'm local — I build websites for [niche] businesses. I actually made a short demo of how [Business name]'s site could look on a phone. Can I text or email you the link so you can glance at it when you have a minute?

Follow-up cadence

Day 1 — send the demo + set a follow-up date in the Lead Tracker.
Day 3 — follow-up #1 (same channel).
Day 6–7 — follow-up #2 (or one alternative channel).
After that — polite close, then stop. Move energy to the next business.

Follow-up #1 (Day 3)

Hi [Owner name], just making sure my last message didn't get buried. Here's the demo again for [Business name]: [demo link]. Happy to change anything — is the direction useful?

Follow-up #2 / close (Day 6–7)

Hi [Owner name], I'll leave it here so I'm not a bother. The demo stays up for a few more days if you want a look: [demo link]. If now isn't the time, no problem — feel free to reach out whenever.

When they reply

They say	You do
“Interested / tell me more”	Offer a 10-minute call or a few questions; move to Step 05 (Launch + Handover).
“Not right now”	Thank them, ask if you can check back in a month, log the date. Don't argue.
“How much?”	Anchor to the price path: first one free/at-cost to build proof, standard sites around $500. Confirm scope before a number.
“I already have a site”	Point at one specific weakness your demo fixes (mobile, speed, unclear CTA). If still no, move on.

Launch + handoverUse this when the owner agrees.

One simple path: the client creates their own Base44 account, invites you, buys the domain in their name — you build and launch. The client owns everything from day one, and you never handle their passwords.

The simplest handover order

Client creates a Base44 account on their work email.
Client invites you to the project as a collaborator.
You build / rebuild the final site inside the client's project.
Client buys the domain from their own account.
You publish and test everything.

Pre-launch message to the client

Send after they say yes

Great — let's launch. So the site and domain belong to you from the start, please sign up to Base44 with your work email using this exact link: [BASE44_CLIENT_LINK] Then create a new project and invite me as a collaborator: [your work email]. I'll build the final version there, connect your domain and launch it all under your account. Please also send: final phone number, email for leads, address, list of services, hours, logo and any photos you'd like to use.

What the client does

Creates the Base44 account (their email).
Creates a new project and uses Invite collaborators → your email.
Confirms the Base44 email if one arrives.

Never ask for their password. The client stays owner; you get access only through the invite.

What you do

Accept the invite; rebuild the approved version in their project.
Replace demo data with real: phone, email, address, services, hours, photos.
Add real links: Instagram, Google Maps, WhatsApp — if provided.
Get one final written confirmation of texts, contacts and photos.

Domain (easiest option)

Let the client buy the domain from their Base44 account: Dashboard → Domains → Buy this domain, pay with their details, confirm the registrar email. Base44 connects the domain and SSL automatically. If they already own a domain, use Connect existing domain together with them — don't change it without the owner.

Pre-publish checks

Name, phone, email, address, hours are real and correct.
Every button works: call, message, request, open map.
A test form submission arrives in the client's email.
Looks right on a phone; no placeholder text or stray photos.

Post-launch message

Send after publishing

Your site is live: [site link] I checked the mobile version, contacts, buttons, the lead form and the domain. You're the owner of the Base44 account and the domain. Leads from the site arrive at: [email / CRM]. Need a text change, a new service, photo or page? Just message me here: [channel].

One rule: before publishing, the client confirms their contacts, texts, photos, services and policies are correct. Medical, financial, childcare, payments or unusual jurisdictions → the client confirms required rules with a specialist.

Lead TrackerUse this from your very first business onward.

A strong demo makes no money until the right businesses see it. The tracker makes the work measurable: you see your volume of action, never lose a follow-up, and can tell what to fix if nothing is selling.

How to run it

One row = one business. After every action, update just five things:

Contact or demo link.
Channel used.
Status.
Next concrete step.
Follow-up date.

By end of day, every active row has a status, a next step and a date. It takes seconds — and it's exactly how businesses stop “disappearing”.

Your first run

Pick 50–100 suitable businesses in one or two close niches.
First touch + one sensible follow-up for each.
Prepare 5–10 personalised demos.
Finish the run and record the real result.

Reading the result

If this happens	Improve
No replies	Niche, channel, first message.
Replies, but no demo views	The benefit in the message + how easy the link is.
Demo views, but no purchase	Personalisation, offer, price, follow-up.
A sale appears	Repeat the niche + channel that worked.

Change only one weak stage at a time.

The price path

A map, not a promise

Free / at-cost launch→ Review + case study→ $50–100→ $250→ $500 standard site→ repeat

20 sites × $500 = $10K. This is a map for repeating a process, not a promise, typical result or deadline. Price rises only as you add real value and delivery confidence.
