Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Pricing Strategies (Fixed vs Range)
Learn when to use fixed pricing, price ranges, or estimate-based pricing for your offerings in Local Business Pro.

Understanding Pricing Types
Local Business Pro supports three pricing strategies. Choosing the right one affects how your AI quotes prices and how estimates are created.
Fixed Price Setup
- Open the offering in AI Logic > Offerings
- Select Fixed Price as the pricing type
- Enter the exact dollar amount
- Your AI will quote this exact price to customers
- Estimates will pre-fill with this amount
Best for: Oil changes, tune-ups, standard inspections, flat-rate services
Price Range Setup
- Open the offering in AI Logic > Offerings
- Select Price Range as the pricing type
- Enter the minimum price (best-case scenario)
- Enter the maximum price (complex situations)
- Your AI will quote 'Starting at [minimum]' or the full range
- Estimates allow you to enter a specific amount within the range
Best for: Repairs, cleaning services, work where scope varies by situation
Estimate-Based Setup
- Open the offering in AI Logic > Offerings
- Select Estimate-Based as the pricing type
- No price fields are required
- Your AI will tell customers pricing requires an on-site assessment
- Estimates require you to manually enter the price after assessment
Best for: Remodels, custom work, large installations, complex projects
