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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Joint Data Review
We sit down together and look at the numbers. Same dashboard. Same data. No surprises.
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.
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.
Check-Ins Continue
Every 30 days we review progress together. You see exactly what we changed, why, and what moved. Full transparency.
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.
