Your Website Performs.
Or We Don't Get Paid.

We guarantee a 30% increase in qualified leads within 90 days of launch. Miss the target? We keep optimizing at zero cost until the number hits. That commitment is locked in writing before we touch a single wireframe.

Performance-backed. In writing. Before we start.

Most Agencies Walk Away After Launch

You know the pattern. Agency builds a site. Hands over the keys. Sends an invoice. And then — silence. If leads don't come, that's your problem now.

The Conversion Covenant flips that. We tied our revenue to your results. Not in some vague "we care about outcomes" way. In a contractual, numbers-on-paper, signed-before-we-start way. If the site we build doesn't deliver a measurable increase in real leads from real homeowners — we keep working until it does.

That's the kind of bet you can only make when you trust your process. We've studied over 200 contractor websites. Built conversion systems across 18 trades. And we put our fee on the line every single time.

What Exactly We Guarantee

01

The Metric

A 30% increase in qualified leads compared to your pre-launch baseline. Measured cumulatively — total leads over the 90-day window versus your baseline average multiplied by three. One strong month can carry a softer one.

02

The Baseline

The lower of your two full calendar months before launch. Both parties agree on this number in writing before we go live. Conservative baseline means fair measurement for both sides.

03

The Ramp-Up

The 90-day measurement window starts 30 days after launch — not on launch day. Google needs time to re-index. Redirects need to settle. Users need to encounter the new site. You get 120 days total. We measure the last 90.

04

What Counts as a Lead

All conversion actions: form submissions, phone calls, chat requests, direction requests from Google Business Profile, email link clicks, and online booking submissions. Real humans in your service area asking about work you do. Spam, bots, solicitations, existing customers, and test submissions don't count.

05

How We Track It

Google Analytics 4, call tracking (CallRail or equivalent), and form submission logs. Both parties have access to the same dashboard. Same data. No black boxes.

06

What We Don't Guarantee

Traffic volume. Search engine rankings. Paid ad performance. The Covenant covers conversion — turning the visitors you already have into booked jobs. That's what the website controls. That's what we guarantee.

The Covenant Is Not for Everyone

This guarantee requires measurable data and a real business to measure it against. So we built qualification criteria that protect both sides.

You Qualify If

  • You're a Booked by Design client — the Covenant applies exclusively to this service
  • Your business is an established home service contractor doing $500K–$5M/year
  • Your current website gets 1,000+ monthly visitors — at typical contractor conversion rates, this gives us enough baseline lead volume that a 30% lift is clearly distinguishable from noise
  • You have lead tracking in place (or agree to install it before launch) — GA4, call tracking, form tracking
  • You operate in one of the 18 trades Fervor serves

This Isn't for You If

  • You're a brand-new business with no existing web presence or traffic history
  • Your site gets fewer than 1,000 monthly visitors — we can still build you a great site through Booked by Design, but the Covenant requires data to measure against
  • You're unwilling to install or maintain analytics and call tracking during the measurement period
  • Your primary lead channel is paid ads, not organic or direct traffic — the Covenant measures the website's conversion ability, not your ad budget

How We Protect Each Other

A guarantee without conditions isn't a guarantee — it's a marketing gimmick. These terms exist so both sides know exactly where they stand. Plain English. No legalese.

1 You approve the site before launch

Once you sign off on the final design and give us the green light to push live, the clock starts. The Covenant covers the site we built and you approved. This protects both of us — you get final say, and we know we're being measured on work you agreed was ready.

2 Keep the site intact

If you or a third party materially changes the site's structure, copy, forms, CTAs, or conversion flow after launch without our written approval — the Covenant is void. We can't guarantee performance on a site someone else rebuilt underneath us.

Minor content updates are fine. Adding a blog post, updating a phone number, swapping a photo — none of that affects the guarantee. But ripping out the intake form or rewriting the homepage? That's a different site.

3 Keep tracking intact

Removing, disabling, or misconfiguring GA4, call tracking, or form tracking during the measurement period voids the guarantee. We need the same data you need to prove results.

If tracking goes down accidentally — a plugin conflict, a tag manager hiccup — we pause the clock and resume when it's restored. No penalty for honest accidents.

4 External factors get a fair shake

If a documented Google algorithm update, a seasonal industry shutdown (roofing in a northern January, for instance), or a force majeure event causes a traffic drop exceeding 40% from baseline — the 90-day window extends by the duration of the impact, up to an additional 90 days.

We don't guarantee against events outside our control. But we don't walk away from them either.

5 Maximum continuation: 3 additional months

If the 30% target is not met within 90 days, we keep optimizing at zero cost — A/B tests, copy changes, form experiments, layout adjustments — for up to 3 additional months. That's 6 months total from launch.

If after 6 months the target still hasn't been reached, our obligation under the Covenant ends. No cash refund — the continuation work is the remedy. We cap our exposure so we can keep serving other contractors. But 6 months of dedicated optimization is a meaningful commitment.

6 Ad spend stays stable

All traffic sources count — paid, organic, direct, referral. The website's job is to convert whoever shows up, regardless of how they got there. And if you ramp up ad spend post-launch? Great. That means more traffic hitting the site we built. More opportunities to convert.

But if you significantly cut paid ad spend after launch — dropping below 80% of your pre-launch monthly average — the baseline adjusts proportionally or the measurement clock pauses. We can't guarantee conversion performance when someone pulls the traffic rug out from under the site.

7 Mutual good faith and responsiveness

Both parties agree to respond to data reviews, change requests, and optimization proposals within 5 business days. If you take longer than 5 business days to approve proposed optimizations, the measurement clock pauses until we hear back.

We can't optimize a site when approvals are stuck in someone's inbox. And you shouldn't have to wait on us either. Fair goes both ways.

8 The baseline must be honest

If we discover that pre-launch lead volume was artificially inflated — buying leads, running a temporary ad blitz, submitting test forms — to make the baseline look lower, the Covenant is void.

The baseline exists so we're measuring real improvement on a real business. Gaming it defeats the purpose for everyone.

9 One Covenant per engagement

The Conversion Covenant applies to the initial Booked by Design build. Subsequent redesigns, additional services, or ongoing retainers through Performance Partner are governed by their own terms.

What Happens If We Miss the Target

Day 90

Joint Data Review

We sit down together and look at the numbers. Same dashboard. Same data. No surprises.

If over 30%

Covenant Fulfilled

Leads are up. The site is performing. Everyone wins. You keep the site, we collect our fee, and you've got a conversion system built on real data.

If under 30%

We Keep Going — At Zero Cost

Fervor continues optimizing. A/B tests. Copy changes. Form experiments. Layout adjustments. CTA repositioning. Whatever the data says needs to move. You don't pay a dollar more for this work.

Monthly

Check-Ins Continue

Every 30 days we review progress together. You see exactly what we changed, why, and what moved. Full transparency.

Month 6

Final Review

If after 6 months total — 90-day measurement plus 3 months of continuation — the target still hasn't been reached, the Covenant obligation ends. You keep the site, every optimization we made, and all the data.
