Can Doug quote a holiday light install?

Yes, from your prices: per foot of roofline, per tree, or a flat rate by house size. If a job needs a measure, he books the measure visit instead.

Can he book the takedown too?

Yes. He books the install and the takedown in the same conversation, and notes storage if you offer it.

What does he do when my install dates are full?

He offers the next open dates and keeps a waitlist. You decide how many installs a day he can book.

Starter is $49 a month for 2,000 messages on your website and by email. Growth is $149 for 10,000 messages and adds texts and calls, with 500 minutes. Live handoff comes with every plan.

A short season with a lot of questions

Most holiday light requests come between October and early December, and most come in the evening, when people look at their house in the dark. They ask:

How much to put lights on a two-story house?
Do you supply the lights, or do we buy them?
Can you have it up before Thanksgiving?
Do you take them down in January?
Can you do the trees and bushes too?
Do you store the lights for next year?

Quotes from your price sheet

Give Doug the prices you already use: a rate per linear foot of roofline, a price for trees and bushes, a minimum job, and what removal and storage add. He asks for the house size, the number of stories and what they want lit, then gives the price or range your numbers produce. Bigger jobs, like a commercial building, get booked as a measure visit.

Fill the calendar before the rush

Install dates are the limit in this trade. Doug books customers into your real open install days, takes a deposit to hold the date, and books the takedown at the same time. When the early dates fill, he offers the next open ones and keeps a waitlist. Returning customers rebook from last year's address and design with one message.

Showing up for 'Christmas light installation near me'

The searches start in October: 'Christmas light installation near me', 'holiday lighting cost', 'commercial Christmas lights'. Each week Doug checks Google and AI answers for those questions, publishes a page for each service and town you cover, and keeps your Google profile hours right for the season. After each install he asks for a review, because a photo of a lit house in a review sells the next job.
