What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

  1. 1
    Place the vane… anywhere

    Engage visitors throughout your web content.

  2. 2
    Visitors tap

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

  3. 3
    You get the data

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

VA poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own services. What stops someone starting is what your site should answer.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

Remove the starting problem

Nobody hesitates over the price of an assistant, they hesitate over what to give them. A ranked list of where other people started is the most practical thing your site can offer.

Where should it go on a VA service website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the services page, the pricing page, the getting started guide, the enquiry follow up, and the blog.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do virtual assistant services convert hesitant buyers?

Solve the delegation problem, not the price one. People stall because they cannot decide what to hand over, and a ranked list of where others started gives them the concrete first step they were missing.

What should a VA website have besides pricing?

Practical decision tools. A keep or hand over exercise and an honest slider on how hard delegating feels do more than any list of tasks you cover.

Can this differentiate from cheaper services?

A public position on giving clients the same assistant every week, backed by a tally showing people value continuity, makes the price difference make sense.

Do visitors need an account?

No. Anonymous single taps, which is why people admit how hard they find letting go.
