How pay per lead works

You approve the lead. Then we bill it.

No retainer and no shared leads. The site is built once, every enquiry is tracked, and you are the referee on what counts.
  1. 01

    We build the site at cost

    A custom Next.js site, designed in Figma and live in about four weeks. You pay the partner setup fee, then only hosting and call tracking each month.

  2. 02

    Every call and form is tracked

    A tracking number on the site, call recording with the legal notice, and a quote form that logs each enquiry with the page it came from.

  3. 03

    You approve the leads

    Once a week you mark what was a real enquiry from your service area. Spam, wrong numbers and sales calls are already filtered out; anything you reject is not billed.

  4. 04

    One invoice a month

    One line per approved lead, with the recording or form attached. You set a monthly cap before we start, and the per-lead price never changes mid-term.

Leads usually start in month two, once the pages are indexed and the Business Profile is pointing at the new site. Until then you pay nothing per lead.

Two ways to pay

Two doors. The same site behind both.

Same design, same Next.js build, same three people. The only differences are how you pay for it and when the code becomes yours.
  • Our bet

    Pay-per-lead partner

    For a local service business that already gets some demand and wants the site to carry its own cost.

    from $1,490

    setup, design included, then $149 a month for hosting, call tracking and your ledger

    • From $35 per approved lead, priced by trade and city before you sign
    • You set the monthly cap
    • One partner per trade per city
    • The same five-page Next.js site as the project, designed in Figma
    • Tracking number, call recording and a quote form that logs every enquiry
    • Business Profile pointed at the new site and kept current
    • New service and area pages added as the ledger shows what converts
    • Buy out any time for the $1,000 difference; code transfers then, or after 12 months
  • Fixed-price project

    For a business that wants to own everything on launch day and pay nothing per lead, ever.

    from $2,490

    five pages, design included, no monthly fee

    • No per-lead billing
    • Ongoing growth optional, from $690 a month
    • Cancel any time
    • Design in Figma, or built from yours
    • Next.js front end with headless WordPress editing
    • Service pages written around real searches
    • Analytics and Search Console wired up at launch
    • Code, design files and analytics yours from day one

Why the partner setup is cheaper: we build at cost and earn on the leads, so we have every reason to keep improving the site after launch. Your domain, content, Business Profile and analytics are yours from day one under both doors. Per-lead prices are set per trade and city before you sign and do not change mid-term.

The proof

Lead logs first. Then the craft.

The partner deal only works if the sites we build produce leads, so the first proof is a lead log, not a screenshot. Every number names its source and period. Beautiful, fast and readable by AI are proven on the service pages, because they are why the log fills up.

01

Built to convert

The proof we bill on: lead logs, not screenshots.

Every partner site gets a tracking number and a quote form that logs each enquiry. These two have been logging for years, so you can see what a site built to convert actually sends, month by month.

ProofProof: quote requests counted in JotForm and clicks in Google Search Console, with periods stated on each card.

Marketplace terms summarised from their public pricing pages in September 2026. Ownership under the partner deal: your domain, content, Business Profile and analytics are yours from day one; the code transfers when you buy out or after twelve months, whichever comes first.

Why the bet works

Why we can afford to be paid by the lead.

Four promises, three judges: the person, Google, and the AI they ask. A site that satisfies all three produces leads, and a site that produces leads is one we can be paid on.
Manifesto

Most agencies get paid whether or not your phone rings. We asked what would happen if we did not.

The answer is a site we are willing to be paid on. It starts as a custom design in Figma and ships exactly as drawn, on Next.js, so it is beautiful and fast at the same time, because a person judges it in three seconds and Google measures it on every crawl.

Here is what changed: the buyer now meets an AI before they meet you.

That AI feels nothing. It reads your HTML, your headings, your schema, your specifics. If it cannot read you, it never recommends you, and the call never happens.

So every site keeps four promises. Beautiful, so the person trusts you. Fast, so nobody leaves and Google ranks you. Readable, so AI assistants can quote you. Built to convert, so the visit ends in a call or a quote request.

Keep all four and the phone rings. That is the only reason we can afford to bill you by the lead.

Signed off on every project we take.

Three judges. One checklist. We build for all of them.

  • Judge one

    The person

    Decides in three seconds, on feel.

    • Looks like a company they can trust with the job
    • Finds their exact service without hunting
    • Can ask for a quote or call in one tap
  • Judge two

    Google

    Decides who ranks, on every crawl.

    • Loads fast on a phone, so Core Web Vitals pass
    • One page per real search, written to answer it
    • Clean structure and internal links it can follow
  • Judge three

    AI assistants

    Decides who gets recommended.

    • Content in the HTML, readable without JavaScript
    • Schema that states what you do, where, and for whom
    • Specific enough to quote: prices, areas, materials, answers

One checklist for all three. That is why design, speed, content and SEO are never separate jobs here, and why we can put our own money behind the result.

What goes into the site

Everything a partner site includes. One team.

The partner deal bundles these because leads depend on all of them. Each one is also sold on its own, and each carries the promise it exists to keep.

Who qualifies

Pay per lead only works for a specific kind of business.

Saying that up front saves both of us a call. If the partner deal is not a fit, the fixed-price project usually is.
  1. 01

    Local service businesses that already get some demand

    You run Google Ads or Local Services Ads, or your Business Profile has real reviews. The site turns that demand into calls; it cannot create demand from nothing.

  2. 02

    Someone answers the phone

    A lead is billed when it reaches you. If calls go to voicemail at two on a Tuesday afternoon, we both lose, so we check this before we sign.

  3. 03

    Jobs worth at least $1,000

    Collision repair, glass, roofing, HVAC, remodels, clinics, law. At that ticket a $35 to $120 lead is an easy yes and the numbers work for both sides.

  4. 04

    One business per trade per city

    Leads are exclusive, so we take one partner per trade in each city. If your city is taken we will say so, and the fixed-price project is still open.

Who does the work

A designer for the person. An engineer for the machine. A writer for both.

Three judges, three crafts. The same three people take every project from the first call to launch, so design, code and content are decided together.
  • AFor the person

    Design

    Design is a human problem, not a data problem. A visitor decides in three seconds whether you look like a company they can trust with the job. That is taste, hierarchy and restraint, and AI can only remix what already exists. Andrew designs every screen in Figma first, phone frames included, so nothing is "made responsive" after the fact.

    That is still a human job.
    • Custom website design in Figma
    • Mobile-first layouts, not shrunk desktops
    • Brand, type and motion
    • The path from first glance to "get a quote"

    Andrew Paryab

  • MFor the machine

    Engineering & technical SEO

    The machine reads code, not intentions. Google measures Core Web Vitals on every crawl. AI assistants read the HTML you actually send, not the page you meant to build. Mohammad builds each site on Next.js with headless WordPress behind it: pre-rendered pages, schema, clean structure, and nothing that only works once JavaScript wakes up.

    Fast by construction, readable by default.
    • Next.js development, headless WordPress
    • Core Web Vitals and page speed
    • Technical SEO: crawlability, schema, internal links
    • AI-readable HTML and structured data

    Mohammad

  • BFor both

    Content & SEO

    Nobody ranks, and nobody gets quoted, for vague pages. A person wants their exact service, area and question handled on the page they land on. Google and AI want the same thing, stated plainly enough to cite. Bita writes content-led SEO: one page per real search, service and location pages with specifics, and answers to the questions buyers actually ask.

    Specific enough to rank, specific enough to quote.
    • Content-led SEO and keyword mapping
    • Service, location and FAQ pages
    • Copy that answers a search, not a brief
    • Facts AI can cite: prices, areas, materials

    Bita Demehri

  • One team, no handoffs. Every project runs through the same three people, start to finish. No pods, no account managers, no lost context.

  • A designer, an engineer and a writer. Design, development, performance, technical SEO and content under one roof, decided together, not passed along.

  • Selective by design. If a project is not a fit, we say so on the first call and point you somewhere better.

  • You own everything. The code, the Figma files, the analytics and Search Console are yours from day one. No lock-in.

What clients value about working with RankMeHi

Feedback from web design and development projects, in the client's own words. We have highlighted the parts that speak to the four promises, and linked each quote to its case study.
  • RankMeHi transformed our Figma designs into a polished and responsive Next.js website. The WordPress integration, animations, and stepped contact experience were implemented with careful attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout the project, and the finished website feels modern, professional, and aligned with how we want the business to be presented.

  • RankMeHi designed a cleaner, more modern look for our furniture brand. The screens make it easy to browse the collection, understand who we are and get in touch, on desktop and on a phone. The design work was handled with care, clear communication and close attention to how a customer would move through the pages.
