No games and no discovery call. The price is below, then the reason I think slow season is the right time to start rather than the wrong one.
Tapping a button opens a secure Stripe checkout. Nothing is charged until you enter a card and confirm, and I get a note the moment you tap, so I will ring you either way.
“I would be happy to work with you and get things going, but I really don't have a lot of money right now with slow season starting. What kind of price / % would you be looking for?”
You asked about a percentage. I do not do that, and here is the honest reason.
A percentage sounds fair until it works. Then you are writing me your biggest cheque in the month you were busiest, and the two of us are arguing about whether the Hendersons found you through Google or through their neighbour. I do not want that argument and neither do you.
A flat fee you can cancel any time puts the risk where it belongs. If it is not working you stop paying me, and you do not need my permission.
You said money is tight with the slow season starting. That is the argument for starting now, not for waiting.
None of this works instantly. A new Google Business Profile has to be created and verified, and then it takes weeks before Google trusts it enough to show it to people. That is just how it goes and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
So the timing works out one of two ways.
Start now, in the quiet, and the profile is created, verified and gathering reviews while you have the time to send me photos and answer the phone. By the time it turns cold and everybody in Airdrie is searching at once, you are in the list.
Or start in November when the money is easier. You pay through your busiest months and the thing finally kicks in around March, when nobody needs a furnace.
The quiet months are the cheapest months to build something. They are just the hardest ones to spend in.
I searched furnace repair Airdrie from an Airdrie phone.
Google gave back three companies in the map at the top and twenty underneath. Twenty three in total.
There are 48 heating and plumbing businesses listed with Google within twelve kilometres of Airdrie. Nine of those forty eight have no reviews at all and six do not even show an address, so Google is plainly not filtering out the new or the small.

I searched your business name, your trading name and your phone number, and found no public Google Business Profile for any of them. Before we create one, you check while signed in to your own Google account, in case there is an old listing to claim.

You own tempbroshvac.ca. Type it in today and you get a CanSpace page saying the domain is registered and asking if you would like hosting. The https version does not load at all. You already paid for the name. It is just pointing at nothing.
How I checked: loaded both versions of the address directly, 26 August 2026
You are in the map when somebody in Airdrie searches for a furnace at seven in the morning. You have a handful of reviews from jobs you were doing anyway. Your own domain works, and the card you hand out points at something real.
A few of those customers tell a neighbour, because people talk when someone turns up when he said he would. Those referrals cost you nothing and they arrive on their own.
None of that is a big month. It is the absence of a dead week, which is the thing that actually keeps a two man shop up at night.
And on the money, plainly: $297 a month is less than one call-out. If it brings you one extra job a month you are well ahead of it. If it brings you none, you cancel, and you keep the Google profile and the domain either way.
