# Gannon's Garage Doors — Gannon Build Session Notes (2026-08-14)

## Site status
- 4-page lead-gen site built: Home / Services / Why Gannon / Contact
- Design: orange/black/dark-charcoal gorilla-shield brand; Archivo Black + IBM Plex Sans/Mono
- Signature element: stamped-steel flat-rate spec plate on Services page
- All `[NEEDS:` placeholders removed 2026-08-14 (about.html, services.html, index.html, contact.html, plus `single-file-for-ghl/` copies)
- Years in business locked to **5+ years** (owner's own Facebook bio)
- Licensed/insured/certifications removed from site — do not re-add without written client confirmation (liability)
- Warranty terms placeholder removed from Services — add back only after Gannon confirms
- Hours conflict still open: MapQuest shows specific hours (Tue–Fri 8am–11:30pm etc.), Facebook says "always open." Site currently claims extended hours, not 24/7 emergency.
- Form wired to GHL webhook in `script.js` (2026-08-14); ready for webhook URL paste + live test lead
- GHL chatbot embed slot present on all 4 pages, not yet populated

## Live URL
- Temp VPS-hosted demo: `https://robblake.cloud/tmp-demo-gannon/` (no chatbot, no GHL form — pure site)
- Deployed 2026-08-14 because GHL funnels API is read-only; cannot upload custom HTML via API
- Cleanup trigger: once the real GHL funnel is live, remove the nginx location block and `/var/www/tmp-demo-gannon/`

## Pre-launch blockers
1. After-hours/emergency conflict — confirm with Gannon
2. Form wired to real GHL webhook + live test
3. Live URL deployed before outreach

## Outreach copy (text-first)
> Hey Gannon — Rob Blake here, I do websites for local trades in the Denver metro. I noticed you don't have a site up yet, so I built you one to see what you thought. Nothing owed, no catch. [link] It's got your flat-rate pricing, your reviews, and a call button on every screen. Take a look when you get a minute — happy to change anything or hand you the files.

**Second touch:** GBP setup offer — genuinely valuable, 20 minutes, restarts conversation with you giving.
**"What's the catch" answer:** No catch on the site — it's built and it's yours to look at. If you want me to host it and keep it running, that's $134/mo everything included. If you just want the files, buyout is $1,200. Don't lead with price. Let him see it first.

## Pricing anchor rule (from this session, LOCKED)
Lead with $134 complete, never present as $67 hosting + $67 chatbot add-on. The base+add-on frame causes ~half of prospects to pick the stripped version and never upgrade.

## Deploy path
- GHL hosted: use `single-file-for-ghl/` — each page is fully self-contained
- Static hosting/handoff: use root build + assets/
- Domain: `gannongaragedoors.com` is registered but serving nothing — canonical tags and schema already point there
