The website service that shows you the site first.
Text us your business name, what you do, and your city. We build your real website from that and what we find online, then text you the link. Reply yes, no, or what to fix. If you say yes, we put it live on your own domain in about a day. You pay nothing until then.
What happens after you text us?
Three steps: we build your site first, we text you the link, and if you say yes we put it live on your domain. Nothing to install and nothing to pay up front.
We build it first
Send us your business name, what you do, and your city. We'll have a real site ready before we ever get on the phone. No deposit, no discovery call. The first thing you see from us is finished work.
You get the link
We text it over. Open it on your phone when you can and reply yes, no, or what's wrong. No app, no login. Take your time, the preview stays up while you decide.
Up the next day
Want it? We put it live on your own domain and text you when it's up. Don't have a domain yet? We'll register one in your name. If you don't have a domain yet, we register one in your business name, and it stays yours.
Wondering what the preview gets built on? The demo designs template-tier previews start from are public too.
What do we need from you?
Four things: your business name, what you do, your city, and your current website if you have one. That's the whole intake. Most owners send it in a single text.
What happens after you say yes?
We move the site to your own domain and you're live in about a day. A Merto operator handles the domain, hosting, SSL, and search setup, then texts you when it's up. If you don't have a domain, we register one in your business name, so it's yours even if you ever leave. You never touch a hosting panel or a login.
How do changes work after launch?
Text us the change. A new number, new hours, a new service, a photo from a job: we make the edit and reply when it's live, usually the same week. Foundation includes four text-and-done updates a month, and there's no ticket system or portal to learn.
Need more than four a month? The upgrade tiers go up to unlimited edits.
Is Merto right for you?
It is if you run the work yourself and want the website off your plate. It isn't if someone already runs your marketing, or if you want a tool to log into every day. We'd rather say no than charge you.
This is for you if
- You pick up the phone and run the crew.
- Your site is weak on a phone, or you don't have one.
- You'd rather text us than log into another tool.
Not for you if
- Someone already runs marketing for you.
- Referrals keep you booked. You don't need more calls.
- You want a hands-on CMS you edit yourself every day. We are the done-for-you lane.
Questions owners ask about the process
Is the preview link a real site?
Yes, it's a real website for your business, not slides or a mockup. We build it before our first call from your name, what you do, your city, and what we find online, then text you a link like your-business.merto.ai. Open it on your phone. Reply yes, no, or what to fix; no app, no password. Say yes and we move it to your own domain in about a day.
Do I sign a contract?
No. Foundation is month to month with no minimum and no fee to leave. Text us to cancel. The site stays up through the month you already paid for, then we take it down. Your domain name and phone number stay yours.
What if something's wrong on the preview?
A Merto operator checks every page before the link goes out, but the preview exists to catch what we got wrong. Text us and we fix it that day. After you're live, same deal: text us or send a screenshot. Foundation includes four text-and-done updates a month.
Your preview is one text away.
Send your name, what you do, and your city. We take it from there.
