How to compare local service quotes
Send every provider the same brief, then compare their quotes line by line on eight things: the outcome you need, the deliverables, the exclusions, revisions, timeline, ownership, ongoing costs and how you will accept the work. The cheapest headline price often covers a different scope, so make the scopes match before you look at the totals.
