Who it fits: contractors, HVAC, plumbers, med spas, and salons. Each situation has a General text plus trade versions. Use the General text and only the trade sections that apply to you. Skip the rest.

What it is not: legal advice, software, or a promise of results. Replies and bookings depend on your leads, your prices, and your follow-through.
