No price structure at all
Hourly, per volume, fixed — customers do not know what to expect, and the fear of a growing bill is the defining anxiety in this category. Explaining how you charge matters more than the number.

The moment they land
The completion date has landed and they have about three weeks. They are collecting quotes, they are frightened of a bill that grows on the day, and they have heard the stories. What wins is a clear price structure, a date they can hold, and evidence that you are insured and real.
What costs you jobs
4 things a template gets wrong here.
Local and long distance mixed together
They are different operations with different pricing, different timelines and different paperwork. One page competes badly for both.
Insurance and liability unexplained
What is covered, to what value, and what happens if something breaks. It is the second question every customer has and it is almost never answered.
No way to hold a date
Dates are the scarce resource in moving. A site that cannot take a provisional booking loses customers to one that can.
What gets built instead
Mechanics, not features.
How you charge, explained before the number
The basis, what is included, what would add to it, and whether the quote is fixed or an estimate. This is the anxiety, and addressing it is the conversion.
Local and long distance as separate services
Each with its own pricing basis, timeline and paperwork.
Liability cover, in plain terms
What is covered, to what value, what is excluded, and the claims process. Written for somebody who has never read a moving contract.
A date-first enquiry
Date, origin, destination, rough size — enough to check availability and quote, and to hold a provisional slot the same day.
Fair questions
The reasons not to.
“Every move is different”
Every move is different and the pricing BASIS is not. Explaining how you charge, and what would change it, is what separates you from the quote that grew on the day.
“We get work from comparison sites”
Where you are listed beside five others on price alone, and pay for the lead. Your own site is the only place the insurance and the process can do the selling.
Asked often
Before you ask.
What matters most on a moving website?
How you charge, explained before any number. The defining fear in this category is a bill that grows on the day, and a clear pricing basis addresses it more effectively than being cheapest.
Should local and long-distance moves be separate?
Yes. Different pricing basis, different timelines and different paperwork. A combined page competes poorly for both searches and explains neither properly.
Can customers hold a date online?
A provisional booking from date, addresses and rough size, confirmed by you. Dates are the scarce resource in this business, so being able to hold one is a real advantage.
