WHO BOHO HELPS

Build around the way your customers actually decide.

Contractors need qualified estimate requests. Local service businesses need calls and bookings. Physical locations need visits and reservations. Online stores need product discovery and completed purchases. Professional firms need serious, well-qualified conversations.

Boho studies the path to that action, identifies where the current digital system loses people, and recommends the smallest complete scope that can improve it.

HIGH-VALUE PROJECT BUSINESSES

High-value project work needs qualified inquiries, not decorative traffic.

Your best projects are valuable. The website should not treat every visitor, service, and inquiry as though they are equal.

Contractors, remodelers, restoration firms, specialty trades, and related project businesses need to help the right prospect recognise the service, confirm the location and project fit, inspect credible proof, and request the correct estimate or consultation.

APPOINTMENT AND LOCAL SERVICES

Make the service easy to understand, trust, and book.

Customers can choose a nearby provider in less time than it takes to understand a confusing service page.

Local service businesses must quickly communicate service fit, location or service area, availability, people, policies, trust, and the correct action.

Appointment-based

Clinics, salons, wellness providers, tutors, fitness businesses, and pet care

Service-area

RETAIL, HOSPITALITY, FOOD, AND VENUES

Turn discovery into a confident visit, reservation, event, or pickup.

Customers should not need three platforms to determine whether you are open, available, accessible, or worth the trip.

Physical businesses must keep hours, directions, accessibility, parking, menus, products, events, reservations, pickup, and seasonal information current across the customer’s decision path.

ECOMMERCE AND PRODUCT BUSINESSES

Help the right product get found, understood, trusted, and purchased.

Good products cannot compensate for a catalog customers and search systems struggle to understand.

Ecommerce work should connect category structure, product information, internal discovery, technical health, customer trust, checkout, and reliable measurement.

PROFESSIONAL AND B2B SERVICES

Make the expertise clear enough for the right buyer to continue.

Serious expertise should not be hidden behind vague “solutions” language and an unqualified contact form.

Professional and B2B buyers may need to understand the problem, fit, people, method, proof, risk, process, and next step before beginning a conversation.

RESEARCH-LED ADAPTATION

Research should change the recommendation.

The industry label is a starting hypothesis, not a diagnosis.

Two businesses in the same category may need different work because their markets, offers, customer behaviour, providers, content, capacity, ownership, systems, and valuable actions differ.

Boho uses reusable methods for the parts that genuinely repeat, then adapts the recommendation to the actual business.

The person developing the recommendation remains close to the technical work.

PRICING AND SCOPE

Public starting prices. Specific written quotes.

Pricing follows the actual work, not the industry label. Pages, templates, locations, markets, data sources, customer actions, integrations, access, content, technical condition, risk, and required analyst or implementation time determine the final quote.

  2. 02Paid assessmentCredited when every published condition is met
  3. 03Focused implementationSmallest complete responsible scope
  4. 04Ongoing workOnly when useful
Figure 13 · Pricing progressionA route from orientation to paid work without paying twice for an eligible diagnosis.Boho-owned explanation of the published pricing policy.Eligibility, exclusions, scope, and final price are governed by the specific written engagement.

ASSESSMENT CREDIT

Do not pay twice for the same diagnosis.

When an eligible one-time assessment, audit, or discovery project leads to a qualifying larger engagement in the same category, Boho credits 100% of the eligible fee toward that engagement.

Read every eligibility condition and exclusion

Required

  • The assessment invoice is paid in full.
  • The later work concerns substantially the same business and system.
  • The larger engagement is in the same service category.
  • The proposal is accepted within 90 days.
  • The original research remains materially usable.

Restrictions

  • The credit is non-transferable.
  • The credit has no cash value.
  • The credit cannot exceed the professional-service fee for the qualifying larger engagement.
  • The credit does not apply to taxes, third-party software, domains, provider fees, advertising spend, travel, emergency or priority premiums, or other outside costs.
  • The credit does not normally apply to recurring monthly reports, hosting, or maintenance already delivered unless a specific written proposal says otherwise.

If the relevant system or circumstances materially change after the assessment, additional research may be required. The eligible original assessment fee remains creditable, while newly required work may be added to the later scope.

LEAN SCOPE

A smaller budget does not automatically require a bad solution.

Boho may recommend fewer initial pages, a phased launch, one service or market first, reuse of sound existing assets, client-supplied information, a focused repair, or a documented do-it-yourself path for lower-priority work.

Starting prices are general planning guidance in U.S. dollars for the smallest complete qualifying scope. They are not quotes, binding offers, warranties, or commitments. Final scope, price, timing, deliverables, exclusions, dependencies, availability, and third-party costs are determined only through a specific written engagement after review.

See the Pricing & Scope GuideStart the free review

INSPECTABLE EVIDENCE

Inspect the method, not a collection of invented success stories.

Boho does not publish fictional clients, fabricated testimonials, unsupported outcomes, or concept work presented as delivered client work.

Public evidence should show how a problem is studied, how the recommendation is developed, what the work produces, and where the limits remain.

HYBRID BUSINESSES

Real businesses refuse to fit cleanly into five boxes.

A contractor may also sell products. A retailer may depend on ecommerce and appointments. A professional firm may operate several physical locations. A venue may rely on events, memberships, reservations, merchandise, and donations.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Short answers before the first step.

Does Boho only work with the business types listed here?

No. These categories describe common customer-decision models, not a closed list of industries.

Does the industry determine the price?

No. The actual scope, systems, complexity, access, risk, and required work determine the specific quote.

Is the first review free?

Yes. It is a focused public-information review used to identify the next useful discussion. It is not a complete audit, written strategy, private-account review, provider recovery, or implementation engagement.

Can Boho work with a smaller budget?

If a smaller complete solution is possible, Boho may suggest a reduced or phased project.

Are rankings, leads, sales, or revenue guaranteed?

No. Boho can commit to defined work, documented reasoning, agreed deliverables, and honest measurement. External systems and business outcomes remain outside any provider’s complete control.

START WITH THE MESSY VERSION

Send the messy version. The point of the first step is clarity.

Tell Boho how customers find, judge, and choose the business. You do not need to arrive with the correct technical diagnosis.

The initial review uses public information only. If the request appears to fit current scope and capacity, Boho may discuss what appears useful and the leanest responsible next step. Paid work begins only through a specific written engagement.
