Questions, Answered Straight.
The things owners actually ask us, in plain English. If your question isn't here, tap the chat bubble or book a call and ask a real person.
The basics
Do I need to do anything?
No. That's the point. You tell us about your business on one call. We build, host, and run everything after that.
How fast will my site be live?
Days, not months, for most builds. You see the demo first. Once you approve it, we take it live fast.
Is there a contract?
Month to month. Cancel anytime. We keep your business by doing good work, not by locking you in.
Who owns my site and domain?
You own your domain, always. Leave anytime and we hand things over cleanly.
Do you speak Spanish?
Sí. Both founders. Everything we do is available in Spanish, from the first call to the site itself.
What if I already have a website?
We rebuild it into one that actually gets you calls. Same guarantee: you see the new site first and pay when you love it.
Pricing and contracts
Do I pay anything before my site is live?
No. Pay nothing until it's live and you love it. No commitment, no risk.
What does the $77/mo cover?
Hosting, monitoring, security, and a content edit every month.
Is there a setup fee on The Growth Engine?
No setup fee. We build the whole system first. Hosting, maintenance, ongoing Google management, SEO, and the 5-Star Review Magnet are all included.
What about everything that isn't a website?
Marketing, AI receptionist, CRM, Google Maps, reviews and more are priced to your business. Book a call and we'll tailor it to your needs.
How long is the contract?
Month to month. Cancel anytime.
What happens to my site if I leave?
You own your domain, always. Leave anytime and we hand things over cleanly.
Do prices change after I sign?
The price you sign is your price.
I already have a website. Can you rebuild it?
We rebuild existing sites into ones that get you calls. Same guarantee: you see the new site first and pay when you love it.
The referral program
Who counts as a referral?
Any business owner who books a call and becomes a paying Manta client.
When do I get my credit?
As soon as the person you referred signs on as a client.
Do they have to buy the Growth Engine?
No. Any Manta product or service they sign up for counts.
Can I combine both programs?
Yes. Every referral earns 150/150 and counts toward your 5-for-a-year-free.
Is there a limit?
No cap on the 150/150 credits. Refer as many owners as you like.
How do I track referrals?
We confirm each one by email. A real person, not a portal.
Landscaping
I'm on a mower all day. Who runs all this?
We do. You tell us about your business on one call, and we build, host, and run everything: the site, your Google, reviews, and follow-up. Need a change? Text us and it's live the same day.
Spring rush is coming. Can my site be live before it hits?
Most sites are live in days, not months. And you see the finished site before you pay anything, so there's no risk in finding out.
What happens to the calls I miss while I'm mowing?
Every missed call gets an instant text back with your booking link. The customer books an estimate from their phone while you finish the yard you're on. The lead stays yours instead of going to the next crew.
Can customers book estimates without calling me?
Yes. The Growth Engine includes a booking calendar with 2-way Google Calendar sync. A customer picks a slot online and it lands on your calendar. Time you block on your phone is blocked on the site.
Contractors and trades
I'm on job sites all day. How much of my time does this take?
One call. Tell us your trade, your service area, and the jobs you want more of. We build, host, and run everything from there. Updates reach you by text or email, no meetings required.
Can the site show my actual work?
Yes. Send us phone photos from your jobs and we build the gallery, the before and afters, and the service pages around them. Real work wins bids. We never use stock photos.
What happens when I miss a call on a job?
The caller gets an instant text back with your booking link. They can request a quote or book a walk-through while you finish the job you're on. The lead stays yours.
How do estimate requests actually reach me?
Quote requests from the site go straight to your CRM and your phone. On The Growth Engine, customers can also book estimate slots on a calendar that syncs both ways with your Google Calendar. No phone tag.
Restaurants and delis
The phone rings off the hook during the rush. What happens to those calls?
Every call you miss gets an instant text back with your menu, hours, and a link to book or ask a question. The caller gets an answer while your team keeps plating, and catering or large-order requests land in your CRM instead of a full voicemail box.
Our menu and specials change constantly. Do I have to call someone for every update?
No. On The Growth Engine, your menu and daily specials are owner-editable: change a price or post today's special from your phone and it's live in seconds. On The Launch Pad, text us the change and we handle it, with one content edit included every month.
Can the site work with GrubHub, Uber Eats, and DoorDash?
Yes. We wire your delivery apps into the site so people who find you on Google can order through the platforms you already use. Your site stays the front door: your menu, your hours, your story, with ordering one tap away.
Our kitchen runs in Spanish. Can we work with you in Spanish?
Completamente. Both founders are bilingual, and we've won and served a deli client entirely in Spanish: the first call, the plan, and every update since. Your site can be in English, Spanish, or both.
Cleaning and detailing
My hands are in a wash bucket or on a buffer all day. What happens to the calls I miss?
Every missed call gets an instant text back with your booking link. The customer books a quote or a slot from their phone while you finish the job you're on. The lead stays yours instead of going to the next company on Google.
Most of my income is repeat customers. Does this actually help with that?
Yes, that's the point. On The Growth Engine, recurring customers book and rebook themselves on a calendar that syncs both ways with your Google Calendar, reminders go out automatically, and database reactivation texts past customers who haven't rebooked. Repeat work stops depending on your memory.
What about no-shows? A dead slot can kill half my day.
Booked jobs get automatic confirmation and reminder messages, and The Growth Engine includes no-show rescue: if someone misses their slot, the system follows up to get them rebooked instead of letting the job quietly disappear.
Do you already have cleaning or detailing clients?
I'll be straight with you: we won't show you a borrowed testimonial from another trade and pretend it's a cleaning company. What we offer instead is the same system our local service clients run, plus this: we build your entire site before you pay anything. You see the real thing first. Love it? We launch. Don't? You walk.
Medical and dental
Our front desk already can't keep up. Does this add another system for them to learn?
No. We set everything up for you, and it runs in one place. Missed-call text-back, appointment reminders, and review requests fire on their own. Calls, texts, and webchat land in one unified inbox instead of four apps. Your front desk gets fewer interruptions, not more software.
What happens to the calls that come in after we close?
That's what the Manta AI Front Desk is for. It answers 24/7 in English and Spanish, asks what the caller needs, books them into your calendar, and flags the urgent ones. It's in live beta with our own clients right now, with limited launch slots. It's priced to your practice on a call, not on a rate card.
We handle patient information. What about HIPAA?
HIPAA-capable delivery available. It's part of The Empire Engine for medical and dental offices, and we scope exactly what your practice needs on your call. We'll walk you through it in plain language before you sign anything.
No-shows eat our schedule. Can you actually reduce them?
We won't promise you a number, but here's what runs on The Growth Engine: every booked appointment gets automatic confirmation and reminder messages, and no-show rescue follows up with anyone who misses a slot to get them rebooked. Empty chair time stops depending on whether someone remembered to call.
