CI Web Group, an AI-enabled marketing agency for the trades, has announced the opening of applications for its next $10,000 website giveaway, specifically targeting women who own HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and other home service businesses. The winner will be selected on September 30, 2026, and will receive a complete website built on Hydra OS, the company's proprietary platform, at no cost. This initiative, led by CEO Jennifer Bagley, aims to directly support women building businesses in the trades, a sector where female ownership is still relatively rare.
The impact of this giveaway is already evident from its first recipient. Head's Plumbing Sales and Service, Inc., a woman-owned company with a 45-year, three-generation history, won the drawing earlier this year. Their new website went live on August 6 and comprises 1,575 pages, making it one of the largest builds CI Web Group has completed. The site's design is notably user-centric, structured around a "symptom-first" experience that allows homeowners to start with what's going wrong rather than forcing them to identify a specific plumbing service. This approach aligns with how customers actually search for help, potentially improving conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
Khadija J. Head, CEO of Head's Plumbing, expressed her delight: "My heart is so full. 45 years in business has never looked so good on us." This testimonial underscores the tangible value of the giveaway, which goes beyond a mere website to a comprehensive digital presence that reflects the company's heritage and customer needs.
The giveaway is part of CI Web Group's broader mission to empower women in the trades, a demographic that often faces unique challenges in accessing capital and resources. By providing a professional website, the company aims to level the playing field, helping these businesses compete more effectively online. Applications are open year-round, and businesses need to apply only once to remain eligible for future drawings. This continuous application process ensures that the opportunity remains accessible and that the next winner can be selected from a pool of committed applicants.
Interested parties can apply for the giveaway and see what CI Web Group built for Head's Plumbing by visiting their website. The company, with over 20 years of experience serving home service businesses nationwide, combines AI technology with deep industry expertise in website development, digital marketing, and search. This giveaway is a strategic move that not only supports women entrepreneurs but also showcases CI Web Group's capabilities and Hydra OS platform, potentially attracting new clients while reinforcing its commitment to the trades community.
The selection of the next winner on September 30, 2026, will be a significant moment, as it will demonstrate the ongoing impact of this initiative. For women-owned trades businesses, this giveaway represents a rare opportunity to secure a high-value asset that can significantly enhance their online presence and business growth. As the trades industry continues to evolve, such support is crucial for fostering diversity and innovation.
