Getting started
What is CurbPitch?
CurbPitch is an install kit that runs on your own Mac or Windows PC alongside your own Claude Code account. It turns a Google Maps lead list into private, personalized demo websites for local businesses, drafts the outreach for you to approve, and builds the full website when a client says yes.
What do I need before I start?
A Mac or Windows PC, Node.js (setup checks for it), your own Claude account with Claude Code, a Higgsfield account for AI images and video, an Apify account for lead and photo scraping, and a Vercel account to publish previews (Pro plan for client work). Your CurbPitch subscription does not include those accounts.
Can someone set it up with me?
Yes. The Setup + onboarding call is a one-time $497 add-on: we install CurbPitch with you, connect your accounts and build your first demo together, live, in a call of up to 60 minutes.
Building demos
Where do the photos and reviews come from?
From the business itself: its real job photos and real reviews. AI only enhances those real photos, and every AI image is labeled. If a lead has no real job photos, CurbPitch flags it back to you instead of faking them.
How many designs are there?
Twelve. Six for home services (Classic, Editorial, Summit, Clean, Luxe and Split) and six built for other industries: Supper for restaurants, Chair for salons and barbers, Rack for clothing boutiques, Block for auto detailing, Studio for fitness studios and Map for real estate agents. Solo includes the six home-service designs; Agency and Founders get all twelve. Trade demos also includes a scroll build story that shows a real job step by step, an interactive color picker and a before and after slider when the business has the photos for them, and a proposal section with pricing.
What does a demo cost to run?
A demo typically uses about 80 to 170 Higgsfield credits on your own Higgsfield account, plus usage on your own Claude, Apify and Vercel accounts.
Does CurbPitch send emails for me?
No. After you approve an email, CurbPitch can save it straight into your Gmail Drafts. You press Send. It never sends anything by itself.
Full sites and SEO
What happens when a client says yes?
One click builds the full multi-page website. You can add service area pages, service-in-town pages, a scroll chapter per service, deep SEO (schema, breadcrumbs, internal links), AEO (direct answers for AI search and llms.txt), blog starter posts, a projects gallery, and a citation and backlink plan.
How do I know the site is ready to ship?
Every page is checked automatically before it ships: no broken links, one H1 per page, unique titles and valid schema. Demos and previews stay noindex until launch, so search engines do not pick them up early.
Where are the finished sites hosted?
On your own hosting. Previews publish to your own Vercel account (client work needs Vercel's Pro plan; the free Hobby plan is non-commercial), and the sites you deliver run on the hosting you choose for your clients.
Billing and licenses
How does the license work?
Each subscription comes with one license key. Solo works on 1 computer. Agency and Founders work on as many computers as your team uses. The key is checked online once a day, with 7 days of offline grace.
What happens if my subscription ends?
Building stops. Sites you have already delivered keep running on your own hosting.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, from the Stripe customer portal link in your receipt email.
Can I resell or share my license?
No. The license is for your own agency. You can sell the websites you build to your clients, but not CurbPitch itself or access to it.
Legal and outreach
What rules do I need to follow when I reach out?
Your outreach emails must follow CAN-SPAM, which means a real mailing address and an unsubscribe line in every email. Do not cold text anyone without their consent, because the TCPA applies to texting.
Can I use stock or AI photos when a lead has none?
No. CurbPitch is built on real photos only. A lead without real job photos gets flagged back to you, not faked.
Troubleshooting
I ran out of Claude usage. What do I do?
Building demos is heavy work for Claude, so building many in a row can use up your plan's limit. Claude plans have a usage limit that resets every few hours, plus a weekly limit. A build that stops partway can go back in the queue once your usage resets. To avoid it: build demos for your best leads first instead of all at once, spread builds across the day, or upgrade to a Claude Max plan for more usage. Do not open extra Claude accounts to get around the limits, because that breaks Anthropic's terms and can get your accounts closed.
I want to build a lot of demos. What is the best setup?
Run CurbPitch's builder on a VPS (a small cloud server) using a Claude API key from the Anthropic Console. API usage is pay as you go, so there are no session limits, and the server can work through your queue around the clock while your own computer stays free. Each person on your team can also run builds on their own Claude account. The Setup + onboarding call can help you set up a VPS.
A build stopped or failed. What now?
Open the lead and read the job message: it says which step stopped and why, for example a missing photo, a credit cap reached or a usage limit. Fix that, then put the job back in the queue. Credits already spent are shown on the lead, and a job never spends above its cap.
Pitch your next lead a site that already exists.
Pick a plan and start building demos on your own computer, or book a call and see it run first.
