Search rankings, AI recommendations and enquiry numbers aren’t guaranteed. A fresh design direction or extra functionality is quoted separately.

The enquiry is only
the beginning.
A customer sends a photo and asks what it might cost. Your team still has to gather the details, work out the scope and put a proposal together.
Through ianloots.com, I offer AI Enquiry Conversion: help turning the enquiry into a branded proposal, with visual concepts where useful and pricing based on your approved rates.
Explore the landscaping demo ↗A fictional landscaping example, not a client result. Nothing is submitted or sent in the demo. Other trades need their own scope and pricing setup.

02
Show a useful direction.
Use visual concepts where appropriate. They help discussion; they don’t replace a site visit or technical design.
03
Keep your team in control.
Your business approves the scope and quotation before anything is shared with the customer.
Website and form development sit with PI Agencies. Proposal production and workflow support are separately scoped through ianloots.com. Have a good website already? We can work alongside it.
How we work
Talk. Agree. Build.
Tell me what matters.
What do you do, who do you serve and what should someone do after visiting your site? We start there, not with a list of flashy features.
See the direction.
Where appropriate, I prepare a free concept. We agree on the design, deliverables, costs and payment terms before the paid build starts.
Check it. Put it live.
We confirm the content, test the mobile experience and launch. Be Seen targets about 48 hours from approved content and working domain access, subject to DNS and hosting. Larger builds get an agreed schedule.
And after launch?
Hosting and maintenance are agreed separately. If you keep your existing hosting, we can arrange maintenance only. Your agreement sets the content-change allowance; new features and larger changes are quoted separately.
A person, not a ticket number
You’ll deal with Ian.
I’m Ian Loots, based in Cape Town.
My background spans 30+ years, from Navy Submarine Engineer Officer, to pioneering irrigation electronics, to branding, marketing and packaging for small businesses.
PI Agencies is the website side of my work. I use AI tools to help with production, with me handling the conversation, judgement and final checks.
If the problem turns out to be more than a website, I also help owners with practical AI and business systems through ianloots.com. You don’t have to buy that work to get a website.

What do I get with the free concept?
A shareable preview of a proposed website direction using agreed or verified business information. It isn’t a finished site on your domain, and it doesn’t include unlimited revisions. If it suits you, we agree on the paid next step.
Can I keep my current domain and hosting?
Yes, provided the hosting supports the agreed build. I’ll need the appropriate access or help from your provider to publish it. Maintenance-only can be arranged if you retain your hosting.
Can I update the website myself?
These packages use static websites, so there isn’t a self-editing dashboard. I handle changes under an agreed maintenance arrangement or a separate quote. Where useful, Be Found can include a separately scoped Google Sheet for selected stock or pricing information.
What does maintenance cover?
Your agreement specifies the technical maintenance and content-change allowance, plus hosting if included. It doesn’t mean unlimited changes, social posting, enquiry handling or a redesign. Those are separate work.
Will you guarantee more enquiries or Google rankings?
No. I can build a clear, accessible site with the agreed search foundations. Traffic, competition, reputation and your offer also affect results. Nobody can promise where a search engine or AI answer will place you.
I already have a good website. Can you still help?
Yes. For project-based trades, we can look at enquiry intake and proposal preparation without replacing the website. Wider workflow help is available through ianloots.com, under its own agreed scope.
Who sends the invoice?
Pixel Integration Agencies (Pty) Ltd invoices for both PI Agencies website services and Ian’s work through ianloots.com. It’s one business, and you deal with Ian throughout.
Your next step
Tell me about
your business.
A few details are enough to start. We’ll work out whether you need a simple website, a fuller build or help with your quoting process.
No obligation to buy. No need to know the technical terms.
