Synetix SystemsFrequently asked questions
Questions, answered
The things firms ask us most: what it costs, what is included, and how we work. Do not see yours here? Just get in touch.
- What does Synetix Systems actually do?
- We build and run Synetix SmartSite, a custom website for law and accounting firms that tests versions of itself and keeps the one that brings in more clients. Synetix Ads manages Google Ads for SmartSite clients on a flat fee. We also build custom CRMs, AI integrations and workflow automation, each scoped from your real workflow rather than a package.
- What areas do you serve?
- Synetix SmartSite and Synetix Ads are sold across the United States and run remotely. We are based in Northern California, and we also work with businesses across Sacramento and El Dorado County, including Placerville, El Dorado Hills, Folsom and Roseville.
- How much does a website cost?
- There is no build fee and no design fee. Synetix SmartSite is a monthly plan in three bands: Core $699, Growth $1,199 or Scale $1,999 a month. Every band includes the custom design, hosting, SSL, security patching, backups, content edits, SEO structure and a light CRM with a mobile app. The bands differ in how much testing runs at once and how often we review it. Client portals, web apps and deeper integrations are quoted as Custom.
- What is Synetix SmartSite?
- A custom website that keeps testing itself after launch. It tries versions of headlines, layouts and calls to action, and keeps the version that brings in more of the one action you picked, such as a consultation booking. Every lead goes into a light CRM, and the mobile app notifies you the moment one arrives.
- Why does SmartSite need 1,000 visitors a month?
- A test needs enough visitors to tell a real difference from chance. Under 1,000 visitors a month, a single test takes a season to call, and the plan would not earn its fee. We confirm your traffic from your analytics before we start. If your site is under the line, we tell you so.
- What is the difference between Core, Growth and Scale?
- How much testing runs at once and how often we review it. Core ($699) runs one test at a time on one conversion goal, with a monthly report. Growth ($1,199) runs three tests at once on two goals, shows each kind of visitor the version that wins for them, adds a new landing page each quarter, and reports twice a month. Scale ($1,999) tests every page on three goals, matches page versions to each ad search when you run Synetix Ads, adds two landing pages a month, and comes with a weekly report and a call. No band promises faster winners: how fast a test calls depends on your traffic.
- Is the design really free?
- Yes. We do not charge a design fee, a build fee or a setup fee. The monthly fee pays for the design, which is why there is a 12-month minimum term. After that it runs month to month.
- What is the minimum term?
- 12 months for every SmartSite band. That is what covers the free design and gives the tests time to settle. After that it runs month to month and you can stop whenever you like. Synetix Ads has its own 3-month minimum.
- How much does Synetix Ads cost?
- A flat monthly fee, set by the ad budget cap you choose, not by what you spend: $349 for a $1,000 – $3,000 budget, $699 for a $3,000 – $10,000 budget, $1,199 for a $10,000 – $25,000 budget, quoted over $25,000. The minimum budget is $1,000 a month and the minimum term is 3 months. Ad spend is paid to Google directly. Synetix Ads is available to SmartSite clients.
- Do I get anything for referring another business?
- Yes. Every business you send us that signs up takes two months off your bill. There is no cap and the credits stack. The credit lands once their first payment clears, and it carries forward if it runs past your renewal. They only have to name you when they get in touch.
- Do practice-area pages cost extra?
- No. A firm that ranks needs a page for each service it offers. We build those pages for you, they are never counted, and SmartSite tests them like every other page.
- What happens if I cancel?
- After the 12-month minimum you can stop any time. You own the domain, and we hand over the site and point the domain wherever you want it. Nothing is held hostage.
- Do I own my website?
- The domain is yours and stays yours throughout. If you leave, the site comes with you.
- How much does CRM or automation work cost?
- It depends on scope. Every SmartSite band already includes a light CRM. Small automations are a fixed one-time fee; a custom CRM or integration build is quoted after a short discovery call. We tell you the expected cost and time savings up front, so you can decide whether the return is worth it before committing.
- How long does a typical project take?
- A focused automation often ships in one to two weeks. A full CRM setup or multi-system integration usually runs a few weeks depending on how many tools are involved and how clean the existing data is.
- Do I have to switch to new software?
- Usually not. We build around the tools you already run (QuickBooks, Go High Level, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Slack, Google Suite, and more) and only recommend new software when it clearly pays for itself.
- What happens after the project is done?
- We build things that last and explain what we built, so you are not locked into depending on us. If something new comes up, clients come back, but that is their choice, not a subscription requirement.
- How do we get started?
- Reach out through the contact page or call 530.748.6702. We start with a short conversation about what is eating your team's time, then map the workflow before recommending anything.
