Who is a great fit to refer?

If they rely on steady customers and want more predictable growth, we would love to talk to them.

Common businesses our referral partners send our way:

  • Home services (plumbers, HVAC, roofers, cleaners)
  • Health & wellness (clinics, dentists, gyms, studios)
  • Professional services (accountants, consultants, agencies)
  • Local retail & hospitality (cafés, boutiques, salons)

What Refer a Business does for them

We’re a small-business-focused marketing agency that helps owners attract consistent, high-intent customers through:

  • Done-for-you local search and review optimization
  • Conversion-focused websites and landing pages
  • Smart ad campaigns with crystal-clear ROI tracking
  • Retention campaigns to turn customers into regulars

Your referral gets tailored recommendations, not a high-pressure sales pitch. If it’s not a fit, we’ll still share quick wins they can use.

Referral program FAQ

Straightforward terms, no hidden catches. Here are the most common questions we get about Refer a Business referrals.

When do I receive my $10 gift card?

You receive your digital gift card within 7 business days after your referred business completes their first discovery call with Refer a Business. We’ll notify you by email using the address you provide in the referral form.

What counts as a qualified referral?

A qualified referral is a business that: (1) is based in the U.S. or Canada, (2) is not already a client or in active talks with us, and (3) has a marketing budget of at least $1,000/month. If we discover they are already connected to us, we’ll let you know and help you focus on new referrals.

Can I refer my own business?

Yes. You can absolutely refer your own business if you meet the basic criteria. In that case, we’ll still honor the $10 gift card once you complete the discovery call.

Is there a limit to how many businesses I can refer?

No limit. You can refer as many qualified businesses as you like, and you’ll earn a $10 gift card for each one that completes a discovery call. High-volume referrers may be invited to our partner tier with higher rewards.

Will you spam the businesses I refer?

Never. We typically send one intro email and, if appropriate, a brief follow-up. If they aren’t interested, we respect that and do not keep pushing. Your reputation and their trust matter to us.
