Can I change the website when the season changes?
Yes. A short email with the new text is enough, and the change is included in the plan.
Can I show customers in Horn Hill that I cover their area?
Yes. List Horn Hill, Babbie, Onycha or any other place you work on a service area page, and every page keeps the contact form.
