This is Service Biz Site Scout, a single-subject site covering website options for service businesses such as trades, salons, cleaners and consultants. Nothing else gets added to the remit just because it would attract traffic.
What you will find here
Individual write-ups, direct comparisons, and explainers for the vocabulary that gets in the way of a straight answer.
Each page is built around one question, and carries the date it was last updated so a reader can see how current it is.
How it is written
Where one option is better than another for a given job, that is said in words, with the reason attached. It is never expressed as a number.
- No scores out of ten, no star ratings, no tier boards and no leaderboards.
- No description of testing that did not take place.
- Pricing and feature claims are checked against the vendor’s own pages, and dated where the page says so.
- Where something is genuinely unclear, the page says it is unclear rather than guessing.
How it is paid for
Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links, which means a commission may be earned if you follow one and sign up. That arrangement never decides what appears here or in what order. It is set out in full under How This Site Is Funded.
What you will not find
Service Biz Site Scout is published information, not advice for your particular situation. Nothing here is a recommendation tailored to you, and no page can know the constraints you are actually working under.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, out of date, or reads as more confident than the evidence supports, write to [email protected] and say so. A link to the page that contradicts it is the fastest way to get it fixed.
