Fair Price Review

Find out if you're priced right for what you deliver.

A one-time review that compares your prices and quality with 6 to 8 of your competitors. In 10 business days you get a fair price range for your core offerings, the extra revenue it's worth, and the evidence behind it.

See what you get

$1,500 flat. No retainer, no ongoing commitment.

For owner-run businesses doing $400K–$5M.

Price vs. value: AC tune-up, 7 local HVAC companies Sample
$60 $90 $120 $150 $180 2 3 4 5 Value customers see (1–5) You: $102 Fair: $125–$150

Customers rate you above 5 of 7 competitors, but you charge like the cheaper half of the market.

The problem

Most small businesses price off their costs or their competitors.

Cost-plus pricing ignores what your work is worth to customers. Matching competitors ignores everything you do better than they do. If you deliver more than the business down the street, there's a good chance you're charging less than you could.

Sound familiar?
  • Customers only buy when you run a promotion.
  • Customers always push for a bigger discount.
  • You set prices from your costs and what competitors charge.
  • You feel stuck in a price war with competitors.
How we find your fair price

Your price, set by the value customers see.

Value-based pricing, the method Maria teaches at university level: compare what customers get from you and from each competitor, and what each one charges.

01 / Value

What matters to your customers

With you, we agree on what customers weigh when they choose, such as quality, speed, service or convenience, and how much each one counts.

02 / Score

How you compare

We score you and 6 to 8 competitors on each one, using online reviews as evidence, not just opinion.

03 / Prices

What everyone charges

We collect competitor prices: published prices first, and quotes requested directly where prices aren't public.

04 / Fair price

Where your price should sit

We plot price against value for your whole market. The trend shows what each level of quality commands, and the fair range for yours.

What you get

A specific price, what it's worth, and the evidence behind it.

Recommended prices

What should I charge?

A fair price range for each of up to 3 core offerings, the extra revenue per year from moving to it at your current volume, and a check that each new price still covers your costs and target margin.

Value map

Where do I stand?

One chart placing you and 6 to 8 competitors by price and value, showing at a glance who is overpriced, fairly priced and underpriced.

Competitive scorecard

Why is that the right price?

How you and each competitor rate on what your customers weigh when choosing, backed by online reviews and competitor quotes. It shows the strengths that justify charging more and the gaps that hold your price back.

Rollout plan

Where do I start?

Which price to change first, and any tiers or packages to add.

All of it in a plain-English written report you keep, walked through together on a 60-minute call.

Example · what you'd hear on the walkthrough call
"Customers rate you above five of your seven competitors, mainly for response time and technician quality. At that level the fair range for an AC tune-up is $125–$150, and you charge $102. Moving to $125 on about 150 tune-ups a month adds roughly $41,000 a year, and you'd still be cheaper than both companies customers rate above you."

Illustrative numbers, matching the sample chart above.

Who it's for

Businesses whose customers compare before they buy.

Owner-run businesses doing $400K–$5M a year. The review works best when all four of these are true:

Home services

Standard jobs, local competitors

Your price on the jobs you do most, like a tune-up or a drain clearing, against the local companies your customers also call.

HVAC · plumbing · electrical · landscaping · cleaning · pest control

Health & wellness

Treatments patients pay for directly

Your treatment and service prices against the practices patients compare you with. Insurance-billed services aren't a fit, because the insurer sets the price.

Med spas · veterinary clinics · chiropractic · cosmetic dentistry

E-commerce

Your best sellers

Your top products against the alternatives shoppers see side by side. Large catalog? We focus on your top product lines.

Direct-to-consumer brands · online stores

Service menus

A menu customers shop around

Your service menu against the businesses your customers also consider. Best for operators with more than one location.

Salons & barbershops · fitness studios · pet grooming & daycare · auto repair & detailing

Not on the list? If your business ticks all four boxes above, the method works. Ask us on the fit call.

Questions

Straight answers.

Will you just tell me to raise my prices?+

No. Sometimes the fair price is higher than what you charge. Sometimes an offering is priced above what customers think it's worth, and the better move is a lower price or a different package. The value map shows both, and every recommendation comes with its dollar impact.

How do you know what my customers value?+

We work it out with you in the discovery session, drawing on what we've seen in businesses like yours, then check it against what your customers and your competitors' customers say in online reviews.

How do you get competitor prices?+

Published prices, menus and websites first. Where prices aren't public, we request quotes directly.

What do I need to provide?+

Your current prices, the basic costs behind each offering, and about 3 hours of your time across the discovery session, a short check-in and the walkthrough. No accounting cleanup required.

Is my information safe?+

Yes. Your files live in a dedicated, access-controlled workspace, never a shared personal drive. Confidentiality is covered by your engagement letter, and we'll sign a separate NDA on request.

Do I have to sign up for anything afterward?+

No. The review is a one-time project and the report is yours. If you'd like ongoing help, our monthly service is available, but it's entirely optional.
