The maintenance program page
What this fixes: No maintenance page · Hard to sell maintenance · Seasonality problem · No recurring revenue
Recurring service is the difference between a good year and a good business. It carries you through the months when nobody is building, it keeps you in front of past customers, and it is the most reliable source of repeat work your company has.
Most pond sites bury it as a line item on a services page, if it is there at all.
Tiers
Three, named plainly. Not Bronze, Silver, Gold.
Something like: Spring Opening, Seasonal Care, Full Service. Each with what is included, how often, and a price range.
Be specific about what is included. Cleanout, filter service, water testing, plant care, fish health check, equipment inspection, netting, winterization, priority scheduling, discounted repairs.
Structure
H1: Pond Maintenance in your town, your state
Open with the real reason it matters, which is not that ponds are hard. It is that small problems caught early are cheap, and ignored ones are not. Give an example.
What goes wrong without it. Honest and specific. Filter neglect, leaf load, pump wear, fish loss over winter, algae from an unbalanced system.
The three tiers with ranges.
What a visit actually looks like, step by step, so they know what they are buying.
Who it suits. Someone who wants to enjoy the pond rather than manage it, someone travelling, someone who inherited a pond with a house.
FAQ. What if I only want the spring clean. Can I do some myself. What happens if something breaks between visits. Do you service ponds you did not build.
That last question is worth answering clearly, because ponds built by somebody else are a large and underworked market.
Call to action with your phone number.
Selling it
The best moment to sell maintenance is at handover, standing at the finished pond. The second best is the first spring after. Put the program page link in the closeout package and in every spring email.
