Know a local business with a rough website? Earn a free month.
Send us a local business owner. If they become a client and their third monthly payment clears, we take a free month off your own bill. There’s nothing to join, nothing to sell, and nothing to explain: you make the introduction, we do the rest.
What it pays, when it pays, and how we know who sent them.
What it pays
One free month of service for every genuinely new business you refer that becomes a client. That is $159 off your own next invoice, one month per business, with no cap on how many you send.
Not a client yourself? A free month is a credit against a RedoLocal invoice, and if you don’t have one there is nothing for us to credit, so there is nothing published here for you. Get in touch before you make the introduction and we’ll work something out.
To be clear about what you earn: the free month is a one-time thank-you for each business you send us, earned once, when their third monthly payment clears. Nothing more is earned on the payments they keep making after that, because we’d rather keep the price low for the client than build a commission into it.
When it pays
After the business you sent us has paid for three months: the free month is earned when their third monthly payment clears. If they settle the rest of their first year before then, it is as soon as that settlement payment clears. Nothing is earned on the day you make the introduction, and nothing is earned before their money clears.
It is applied as a credit to your own next invoice, so you see it on your own billing rather than waiting on a payout. There is no holding period on top of that: a credit on your own account can be unwound if a payment reverses later, so it doesn’t have to wait.
If their payment is later reversed or charged back, the referral is void, and any credit already applied is owed back. We only pay on money we actually keep.
How we know who sent them
Ask us for your link and we’ll send you one with your own short name on the end — something like mikeb. It is yours, nobody else gets it, and you only need it once. When someone starts their redesign through your link, you are recorded on the referral automatically, so there is nothing for either of you to type or remember:
redolocal.com/get-started?ref=mikeb
No link handy? Send us a message with the business name and how to reach them before they get in touch, and that puts you on record just as well.
One thing the law requires
Tell people you’re paid. The FTC requires you to disclose the connection clearly, right where you make the recommendation. One honest line does it: “I get a free month of service if you sign up with RedoLocal.”
A note you can send as-is.
Copy it, make it sound like you, and keep the disclosure: being clear about the connection is required by the FTC, and it’s how we’d want to be referred anyway.
“Your website could be working a lot harder for you. Take a look at RedoLocal (redolocal.com): they redesign your existing site for a published price, no sales call, you see the finished redesign and approve it before it goes live, and your domain, your content, and your brand are yours from day one. Full disclosure: I have a referral arrangement with them, so I get a free month of service if you become a client. Want an introduction?”
The full referral terms.
The plain-English version above tells you what it pays and when. This is the binding set, and referring someone means you agree to all of it.
Read the full referral terms
- What you earn. One free month of RedoLocal service per referred business that becomes a client: a $159 credit applied to your own next invoice. One month per business, with no cap on how many you introduce. It is on the first year only and it is not recurring: nothing is earned on the regular monthly fee that carries on after their first year, or on any payment after that.
- When it is earned. Once the referred client’s third monthly payment clears, or sooner, as soon as a payment settling the rest of their first year clears. Nothing is earned when the introduction is made, and nothing is earned before their money clears. The credit is applied to your own next invoice, with no holding period, because a credit on your own account can be unwound if a payment later reverses.
- If you are not a client yourself. The reward is a credit against your own invoice, so there has to be an invoice. Nothing is published for anyone who isn’t a client. Tell us before you make the introduction and we’ll work something out.
- Voided by a reversal or chargeback. If the referred client’s payment is later reversed, charged back, or otherwise does not clear, the referral is void, and if the month was already credited to you, it’s owed back. We only pay on money we actually keep.
- No self-referrals. You can’t refer yourself, your own business, or an account you control, and you can’t refer someone who’s already talking to us or already a client. Referrals are for genuinely new businesses you introduce to us.
- No bidding on our brand. Don’t run paid ads on “RedoLocal” or close variations of our name, and don’t send traffic through paid search on our brand terms. That traffic was coming to us anyway; bidding on it isn’t a referral.
- No coupon, deal, or discount-site posting. Don’t post referral links or offers on coupon sites, deal forums, or discount directories. This is for personal, honest recommendations, not coupon farming.
- You must disclose the connection (this one’s the law). When you recommend us, you have to clearly tell people you’ll be paid if they sign up. The FTC requires anyone with a financial connection to disclose it, clearly and up front, right where you make the recommendation, not hidden in a bio or a separate page. A simple line like “I get a free month of service if you sign up with RedoLocal” does it. Be honest; don’t claim to be a customer if you aren’t, and don’t promise results on our behalf that we don’t promise ourselves.
- Taxes. A free month is a credit against your own invoice, not money we send you. What that means on your own return is between you and your accountant, and we don’t give tax advice.
- This can change. We may change or end referrals at any time, going forward. Any change applies to referrals made after it; a referral you’ve already properly earned is still yours.
- Honest referrals only. Refer businesses you’d genuinely recommend us to. We reserve the right to decline or void a referral for spam, misrepresentation, or anything that breaks these terms, and, like the rest of what we do, we’ll tell you straight if we do.
Questions? Send us a message and a real person will answer. These referral terms work alongside our Terms of Service.

If you know a local owner stuck with a website that’s letting them down, introduce us. They get a real redesign of their own site, with unlimited changes before they approve it, and nothing goes live until they do.
