Start with chapter 1

The chapters

1. 1. Set up in ten minutesAdd your name and address in Settings. They show at the bottom of every email SiteRevive writes for you.
2. 2. Pick your kind of business and your placeOne kind of business, in one place. A ten-minute phone test, and one line you can say out loud.
3. 3. Run your first searchAsk for one result. What to click, what you should see, and what to do when day one goes wrong.
4. 4. Read your first reportWhat the finished search shows, what each part of the report means, and how to check the problem yourself.
5. 5. Check the email, then send itFix the email until it sounds like you, run the checklist, and press Send from your own inbox.
6. 6. When an owner says yesHow you find out, how to answer, and how to build and check a sample website before you share it.
7. 7. Keep track and go againManage Leads, the four marks, a simple week, and what to check when nothing happens.
8. 8. What to say on a callA simple call plan, honest answers to what owners ask, and how to say no to a bad fit.
9. 9. Agree, build and keep a clientA one-page agreement, a launch list, and the small habits that keep a client.
10. 10. Add more services, in orderWhat to offer second, and when, matched to what the owner says. One thing at a time.
11. 11. Plan your weeks and your numbersA worksheet you fill in with your own counts. It is an example and a method, not a result.
12. 12. Tools and linksWhat each tool is for, what you can skip, an affiliate-link note, and where to find me.
13. 13. What a ten-thousand-dollar month would takeA ten-thousand-dollar month as plain arithmetic, in steps, with your own page to fill in. A goal, not a promise.
14. 14. Your first 30 days, week by weekA four-week plan that uses only chapters 1 to 11. No promises about replies or clients.
15. 15. Ten mistakes that cost people weeksThe ten early mistakes, the fix for each, and the chapter that explains it.
16. 16. Questions people askShort honest answers: does it send for me, how long until a client, what if nobody replies, and more.

Before you start

Pictures in this guide are real SiteRevive screens. Every business in them is a sample, and the details are made up. Yours will be real.

Nothing here promises replies, clients or income. SiteRevive finds businesses, checks their websites and writes a first email. You read it, you fix it, and you press Send. What happens next depends on the work you do.

Want to talk it through? You can book a free 30-minute call with me, or watch the webinar replay. Neither is needed to use this guide.
