Services · Rent-A-Website

Rent a website that brings in calls

Skip the big upfront cost. We build, host and grow a lead-generating website for your business. You pay $799 to set it up and $399 a month, and every call and form lead goes straight to you. No shared leads, no paying per lead.

How it works

Like renting a storefront on a busy street

A Rent-A-Website works like renting a storefront instead of building one. We build the website, own the domain and handle hosting, SEO and updates. Your business name, phone number and services go on it, and every call and form request goes to you.

Because we keep working on the site every month, it keeps getting stronger in Google and AI search. You get the results of a custom website and an SEO program without paying for the build up front.

It's a good fit for service businesses that want more calls now and would rather pay monthly than invest thousands in a new site.

Included every month

What you get for $399/mo

  • Custom website for your service and towns
  • Hosting, security and updates
  • Local SEO and AI search setup
  • Exclusive leads, never shared or resold
  • Monthly report on calls and leads
  • Content edits when you need them

Exclusive leads

Your leads, not shared leads

Lead marketplaces like HomeAdvisor and Angi (formerly Angie's List) often send the same customer request to several companies and charge each one for it. With Rent-A-Website, the website is yours alone for as long as you rent it, so every call and form request comes only to you.

Lead marketplaces

HomeAdvisor, Angi and similar sites

  • The same request can go to several competitors
  • You often pay for each lead, even ones that don't hire you
  • Customers see their brand, not yours
  • Your costs rise as you get more leads
  • Stop paying and the leads stop, with nothing built up

Rent-A-Website

A website that sends leads only to you

  • Every call and form request is exclusive to you
  • One flat monthly price: $399, no per-lead fees
  • Customers see your business name and phone number
  • More leads don't cost you more
  • The site keeps getting stronger in Google every month

Questions

Rent-A-Website questions

Who owns the website?

We do. You're renting the website, much like renting a storefront. We own the domain and the site, and we handle hosting, updates and SEO. Your Google Business Profile and other listings stay yours.

Do I get all the leads?

Yes. Every call and form request from the website goes directly to your business.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Angi?

Lead marketplaces often sell the same customer request to several companies, and you pay for each lead whether or not you win the job. Rent-A-Website leads are exclusive: they come from a website that shows only your business, for one flat monthly price.

Is there a contract?

Rent-A-Website is month to month after the first three months, with 30 days' notice to cancel.

What happens if I cancel?

Your business details come off the website and the leads stop. The domain and site stay with EffectMedia. Your Google Business Profile, reviews and listings are yours to keep.

How is this different from your SEO plans?

With our SEO plans, you own your website and we market it. With Rent-A-Website, we provide the website and the marketing together for one monthly price.
