“Roughly, how much is this going to cost?” — the first question every buyer has

And it is accelerating. Google now filters local results by whether a business offers online estimates, and AI answers cite the sources that publish real numbers. Within 18–24 months a published range stops being an edge and starts being the price of entry.

The pricing problem

Homeowners want pricing information before they talk to anyone.

75%

of buyers don’t want to talk to a salesperson until they know, roughly, what the job will cost.

10s

is how long a homeowner hunts for pricing information before they give up and go somewhere else.

✕

No pricing information on the site? They leave.

A “call for a quote” form asks homeowners to do the one thing they don’t want to do yet. Most won’t. They bounce.

✕

And a competitor gets the job.

They go back to Google and find someone who will give them a number. Your location never even knew they were there.

✓

Priceguide turns this around. Homeowners get the rough range they came for, right on your site. You get their name, number and project details, and a lead that's ready to talk.

What actually happens

Same homeowner. Same job. Two very different endings.

Nobody wants an exact quote up front. They want to know, roughly, if this is a $2,000 job or a $20,000 one — before they talk to anyone.

It’s not about the quality of your work. It’s whether they could find out, roughly, what it costs.

Why an estimator, and why now

One estimator. Three places it has to win.

A published price is the only asset that works on the homeowner, on local search, and on the AI that now answers for them. Everything else on your location pages works on one at best.

The homeowner

They get the number they came for instead of a contact form. You get a named lead with the project details already attached.

Local Google search

Google now filters local results by whether a business offers online estimates. A business without one is not ranked lower, it is left out of the list entirely.

The AI answer

70% of searches end without a click. The source with real numbers is the one the answer cites, and publishing prices is how you become it.

See how this works in real life.

One Footprints Floors location. Denver, October 2026. Watch what happens in a row.

  1. 1

    Google now asks whether you give online estimates.

    The filter sits right beside “Open now” and “Top rated”. A business without an estimator is not ranked lower. It is left out of the list entirely.

  2. 2

    Google’s AI Overview answers with them — and points at the estimator.

    The AI tells the homeowner they can get an instant online estimate, and names Footprints Floors Denver as where to get it.

    Their estimator page takes the second organic result.

    Above the national directories, with the range printed right there in the description: hardwood installation typically runs $340 to $10,600.

None of this was paid for. It happened because one page publishes a range.

What Priceguide is

An instant price range, on your own website.

Not a calculator you bolt on and forget. A page a homeowner can finish in two minutes, built from your real costs, that hands you a lead who already knows roughly what the job costs.

  • Your pricing, your margins, bracketed as a range so nothing is a binding quote
  • Works on one website or across hundreds of locations, each with its own pricing
  • Every answer and contact detail into your inbox and your CRM in seconds

And for the first time, you can see which locations are actually winning.

Every estimate a homeowner completes anywhere in your network rolls up into one dashboard. Not just totals — location by location.

  • Every location, side by side. Estimates started, estimates finished and leads produced, per owner — so a location that is quietly losing demand stops being invisible.
  • What your homeowners actually want. Which services they ask about, what size of job, and which areas they come from, across the whole network.
  • When it happens. Over half of all estimates are completed outside business hours. You can see which locations are following those leads up, and which are not.
  • Bookings and revenue, tied back. Where a location connects its CRM, the dashboard follows a Priceguide lead through to the booked job and the revenue it produced.

Figures come from what is actually tracked, so they will not match a CRM to the last lead. We would rather give you a number you can trust than a flattering one.
