AI setter for web designers
An AI setter for web designers turns “how much for a website?” DMs into qualified discovery calls by asking about scope, budget and deadline first.

Where your leads start the conversation
Most web designers get buyers from three places. Each one deserves its own first question.
A portfolio post
A comment asks “how much for one like this?”. The flow DMs them, the setter asks about scope.
A free website teardown
They comment “ROAST” to get a video teardown of their site. Ask what bugs them most.
A WhatsApp ad for your packages
An ad for your website packages brings busy owners to WhatsApp. Confirm the deadline early.
Chapter 02Qualify
Ask these before the call
A setter books calls only for people who pass your fit rule. These questions make the rule, one per message.

Not a fit when
Wants a quick fix on a site someone else built. Needs it live in days, before any scope is set. Has a budget far below your starting price.
Quotes need a scope
Tell the setter to share your starting price only. Fixed quotes, hosting and domain transfers wait for your scope call.
Chapter 03Script
The DM script, ready to copy
Opener after the teardown request
Right after your flow collects their site link.
Got your site link, thanks! While I record your teardown: what should the site do for you that it doesn’t do today?
- Next
- Wait for the goal.
- Why it works
- It turns a free teardown into a talk about their goal.
Scope the project
After they name the goal.
Makes sense. Is this a redesign of your current site or a fresh build? And roughly how many pages are we talking?
- Next
- Note pages, features and integrations for the call.
- Why it works
- Scope is what turns a vague ask into a price.
Budget and deadline
When the project is one you take on.
Got it. My Replace [offer] is Replace [price], built for Replace [ideal client]. Does that fit your budget, and when do you need the site live?
- Next
- Fits and dated: book. Far below: point them to a template.
- Why it works
- One message settles money and timing, so the call is about the work.
Offer two call times
Once budget and date both fit.
Perfect. Let’s scope Replace [result] on a short call so I can quote it properly. I’m free Replace [day] at Replace [time] or Replace [day] at Replace [time].
- Next
- Your connected calendar takes the booking in the DM.
- Why it works
- A quote that follows a call is one they trust.
Follow up with your work
When they go quiet after the price.
Hi Replace [first name], no rush. Want me to send two sites I built for Replace [ideal client] so you can picture yours?
- Next
- Send the links, then one last check-in.
- Why it works
- Seeing similar sites answers the question the price raised.
