What a referral partner website needs to do
Business formation services, bookkeepers, POS consultants and advisors all meet owners at the moment a site becomes necessary: a new LLC needs an online presence, a bookkeeping client mentions an out-of-date page, a POS setup needs a menu online. You can simply refer, or handle the client contact yourself and have us build.
Make the handoff easy: collect the business name, what they sell, brand assets and who decides. A one-paragraph brief saves the owner a first call. Partner terms are agreed in conversation after a short inquiry, and we do not publish them.
People searching for a referral partner usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Refer a client
Send the business name and goal
Resell with your own contact
You handle the relationship
Share what you know
Brand assets and services
Stay informed
You see the project status
Timing matters. Tax season and new-business filing months send the most clients who need a site.
The pages a referral partner website needs
A referral partner site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Partner details — referral or resale
- ✓What to send — a short client brief
- ✓Sample sites — examples to show clients
- ✓Inquiry form — we call you
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on referral partner websites
- ✓Sending a lead with no brief — slows the first call
- ✓Guessing the package — leads to rework
- ✓Skipping domain ownership questions
Getting found: SEO basics for a referral partner
- ✓Explain the partnership — "refer clients for website design"
- ✓Show who it fits — formation, bookkeeping, POS and advising
- ✓Publish a short brief template — useful to partners

Optional add-ons, billed separately
