Digital transformation for small business

We drag small businesses
out of the dark ages.

A modern website you own forever. Found on Google. Every customer captured, even the calls you would have missed. The busywork handled by tools that actually fit the new age. We start by building your website for $0, then we transform the whole business, and we stay on the hook for the results. No contracts. Cancel anytime. You own everything.

Built by a mother-and-son team who have grown businesses from a single truck to the Inc. 5000. We treat yours like our own.

$0 To build your modern website. You own it, forever
100% Ownership of your site, content & data, even if you leave
0 Contracts, lock-ins or cancellation fees
24/7 An AI front desk so you never miss another customer

What we do

Your business, modern.
None of the hostage tricks.

We build your modern front door, free.

A fast, professional website, live in about a week, that you own 100% forever. It is the front door to everything else: instrumented from day one so every visit and every call is tracked. Most companies charge $5,000 for this. We do not charge you a cent.

We put modern tools to work.

Found on Google. Reviews on autopilot. An AI front desk that answers every call and books the job 24/7. Follow-up and busywork automated. The tools big companies use, sized and priced for a small business, all published and pick-and-choose.

You own it all. Walk away any day.

One email cancels everything. Your website, domain, content, reviews, and data go with you: 100% yours, forever. We keep you by making the business work and proving it with numbers, never with a contract that traps you.

How it works

From the dark ages to running on modern tools

  1. 01

    We build your site, free

    A fast, professional website, live in about a week, that you own outright. Tracking is wired in from day one, so from here on everything is measured, not guessed.

  2. 02

    We get you found

    Local SEO, Google Business Profile, and a review engine that turns happy customers into more customers. You show up where people are already searching for what you do.

  3. 03

    We capture every customer

    Call tracking plus an AI front desk that answers 24/7, books the job, and texts back the calls you miss. You stop losing customers you already paid to reach.

  4. 04

    We automate the busywork

    Follow-ups, CRM, scheduling, and the admin that eats your day, running on autopilot. Then we stay accountable to the numbers in your dashboard, every month.

Plans: published, like it should be

Everything's priced.
On the internet, where anyone can read it.

Nobody in this business publishes prices. We think that tells you everything. Start free, add what you need, and cancel any day. No setup fees, no contracts, no surprises.

One-time builds (automation from $750, CRM & operations setups from $2,500) that you own outright. Every price is published and nothing locks you in.

Do the math yourself

What's a stream of new customers actually worth?

Drag the sliders. The math runs on your own numbers, so we don't have to promise you anything. This is the pay-per-customer option, priced by what a new customer is worth to you.

New revenue / month $6,500
You pay Five Gallon $1,700
Return on every dollar 3.8×

Booked fewer jobs than this? You paid less. That's how flat per-customer pricing works: our incentive is literally your revenue.

Why we do it this way

The industry's dirty secret is the contract.
We don't have one.

The big "website + marketing subscription" companies retain clients with 24-month auto-renewals, cancellation windows, and websites you never own. Their retention model is hostage-taking. Ours is results. Compare:

Five Gallon Typical subscription mill
Upfront cost $0, website & setup free $500-$3,000 setup fee
What you pay for Results you can see, at published prices A monthly retainer, results or not
Contract None. Month to month, forever 12-24 months, auto-renewing
Cancelling One email, effective immediately Notice windows, certified mail, "retention" calls
Your website when you leave Yours. Code, content, domain & data, 100% Deleted. It was never yours
Reporting Every call tracked & recorded, live dashboard A vague monthly PDF

"You own everything we build for you, from day one and forever: the website, the content, the domain, the data. If we ever stop earning your business, you walk away whole."

The Five Gallon Ownership Pledge, in every agreement we sign

Built in public

We're documenting every client's progress. Including the failures.

Five Gallon is new, and we're not going to pretend otherwise with stock photos and made-up logos. Instead, every client we take on is instrumented from day one, with every call tracked and every dollar attributed, and we publish the numbers as we go. Real businesses, real results. Watch us earn the case studies.

Questions

Asked and answered, plainly

What does Five Gallon actually do?

We digitally transform small businesses. In plain terms: we build you a modern website you own, get you found on Google, make sure every customer who reaches out actually gets captured (call tracking plus an AI front desk that answers 24/7), and put modern tools like automation and CRM to work, then we stay accountable to the numbers. The free website is the front door; the transformation is the whole house.

Do you only work with home-services businesses?

No. Home services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing) is where we started because the pain is obvious there, but the same playbook modernizes any small business: clinics, salons, law firms, trades, and shops. If you run a small business stuck on old tools and a weak online presence, we can help.

Why would you build a website for free? What's the catch?

There is no catch. The free website is how we earn the right to help with everything else. It is genuinely good, it is yours 100% forever, and if we never sell you another thing we are fine. Most owners choose to grow with us once they watch it working.

What does it cost?

The website is free. After that everything is published: care plans start at $59/mo, the AI front desk is from $299/mo, and pay-per-customer leads start at $70 per real new customer. One-time builds like automation, CRM, and operations setups are fixed price too. No contracts, cancel any day.

What is the AI front desk?

An AI receptionist that answers every call and text 24/7, books the job, and texts back any call you miss. You are already paying to make the phone ring; this makes sure you stop losing the calls you cannot get to, whether you are on a job, after hours, or slammed in your busy season.

Do I really own everything if I leave?

Yes: code, content, domain, images, reviews, and data, from day one. It is written into every agreement. Cancelling takes one email and we hand over credentials within five business days. We built the company this way because the subscription mills do the opposite.

How fast does this happen?

Your modern site is live in about a week. Getting found and capturing more customers compounds over the first 30 to 60 days. You see the numbers the whole way in your dashboard, not a vague monthly PDF.

Zero risk. Literally.
