Every tool works for any local business. To see how GrowLocal designs whole websites around the way your specific trade wins customers, start with your industry:
Why these tools are free
GrowLocal makes money one way: designing, building, and hosting websites for local service businesses. These tools exist because the questions they answer — what should a website cost, how do I get more Google reviews — come up in almost every conversation we have with business owners. Answering them for free, with no email gate and no sales call, is the most honest way we know to introduce ourselves. Use the tools, keep the results, and if you ever want a website built around your trade, you know where we are.
Common questions
Are these tools really free?
Yes — completely. No trial, no paywall, and no "free report" that turns into a sales call. Every tool on this page runs in your browser and shows you the full result.
Do I need to sign up or hand over my email?
No account, ever. Every tool shows its full result right on the page — including the website grader’s complete report. One optional extra — a free redesign preview from the grader — asks for an email, but no result is ever gated behind one.
Why does GrowLocal give these away?
We design, build, and host websites for local service businesses. Free tools are how we earn your attention honestly: if a tool is useful, you might preview a GrowLocal site for your own business — and if not, the tools are still yours to use.
Which tools are live right now?
Four tools: the website grader, the website cost calculator, the Google review link & QR generator, and the business name & slogan generator. Trade-specific social post ideas are in the works — new tools appear on this page as they ship.
Can I use what the tools produce for my business?
Yes. Estimates, links, and QR codes generated here are yours — print the QR card, share your review link with customers, and use the cost breakdown to compare any vendor, including us.
Who are these tools built for?
Owner-operated local service businesses — plumbers, HVAC companies, cleaners, landscapers, salons, and roughly a hundred other trades. Every default is tuned for a small local business, not an enterprise website.
