Executive Summary

Small and mid-size service businesses — roughly 10 million firms ranging from contractors and landscapers to agencies and home services — spend an estimated $40.0B annually on sales and lead tools and routinely complain that a large share of inbound contacts are unqualified, wasting sales time and inflating acquisition costs. The symptom is predictable: vague inquiry after inquiry because prospective buyers don’t have an easy way to self-qualify or understand expected pricing before engaging. You could build a turnkey, no-code DIY price calculator platform that embeds on any website (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace) with industry-specific templates, configurable rules and options, CRM integrations, and analytics to quantify lead quality. The product would show transparent price ranges, allow buyers to configure scope, and optionally gate contact details until a basic qualification threshold is met, thereby shifting qualification upstream into the prospect’s hands. This market is attractive now because self-service buying and demand for price transparency are rising, and existing no-code/plugin ecosystems make deployment fast and cheap — a good fit for businesses whose average annual spend on sales tools is roughly $4,000. Market research scores this opportunity highly (Market Score 92/100; Revenue Potential 88/100) and adoption can scale quickly across fragmented SMB channels if the integration and UX are simple. To stand out, focus on trust and accuracy: deliver vetted industry templates, guardrails to prevent underquoting, clear UX for ranges versus firm quotes, and end-to-end CRM sync plus conversion analytics so customers can measure lead quality lift. Be honest about the challenges: competition is medium, the addressable market is highly fragmented so go-to-market will require localized channels and education, and building convincing pricing models needs either partner data or a fast-learning pricing engine and strong onboarding.
