What is a Minimums & Capacity page?

It is a simple page on your site that lists the smallest and largest jobs you take, how much work you can do at once, and normal timelines. It helps AI and people send you the right work.

What if my numbers change often?

Use ranges and update the page when your normal rules change. Add a date at the top so AI and people see it is current.

Can I include exceptions?

Yes, add a short note that you review special cases. Keep the main rules clear. Do not hide them under exceptions.

Do I need special code or schema?

No. Plain text with clear headers and numbers is enough. One stable URL and clear links help the most.

Where should I link this page?

Link it in your footer, quote page, Google Business Profile, and emails. The more clear links, the faster AI finds and trusts it.

Publish a Simple Minimums & Capacity Page So AI Sends You Jobs That Fit

Why a Minimums & Capacity Page Changes Your Leads

I see this every day. A great business gets the wrong jobs from AI chats. Too small. Too big. Too fast. Not your target. The reason is simple. AI does not know your limits, so it guesses.

You can fix this with one clear page on your site. Call it “Minimums & Capacity.” On this page, you tell AI and people the size of work you take, how much you can do at once, and how fast you can start. When AI has these facts, it stops sending you bad-fit work. It starts matching you to the right jobs.

Here is a quick story. I checked a custom print shop in Toronto. ChatGPT kept sending them one‑off sticker orders. But their minimum run was 500 units. They added a simple page with their run minimums and daily capacity. Two weeks later, the one‑off orders dropped. Bigger jobs went up. You can do the same.

Action for today: Write a rough list of your limits on paper. You will turn it into a page in the next section.

What to Include (Keep It Simple and Numbered)

Use plain words. Use real numbers. If you can, add one short example for each item.

Include:

▸Order or project minimums (price or quantity)
▸Maximums (size, weight, quantity, budget range)
▸Typical start time and turnaround windows
▸Daily or weekly capacity (how many units, visits, or hours)
▸Peak seasons and slow seasons
▸Rush options and fees (if any)
▸Travel or distance limits (if you go on‑site)
▸Special requirements (power, access, file types)
▸Blackout dates or maintenance windows

Example lines:

▸“Minimum project: $1,500.”
▸“Max single panel: 2m × 3m.”
▸“We schedule 2 weeks out most months. 4 weeks in May–June.”
▸“Daily capacity: 40 service calls across two teams.”
▸“Rush option: +20% when available.”

Action for today: Turn your paper list into 8–12 short bullet points with numbers.

How to Write It So AI Understands

AI reads structure. Help it. Use a short title. Add a date at the top. Use clear section headers. Keep each line short. Put numbers first when you can. Avoid soft terms like “usually” or “it depends” when a range works better.

Good layout:

▸Page title: Minimums & Capacity
▸Updated: 2026‑09‑29
▸Sections: Minimums, Maximums, Capacity, Timing, Travel, Rush, Notes

Add 1–2 simple examples:

▸“Example: For a 1,000‑unit run, we start in 10–14 days. Full lead time: 3–4 weeks.”
▸“Example: We do not take single‑room paint jobs. Minimum: whole apartment or house.”

Use one URL and keep it stable. Link to it from your footer. From your quote page. From your FAQ. AI prefers one clear source over many scattered notes.

You do not need code or special tags. Plain HTML is fine. If you can, add a small table for specs. But words plus numbers are enough.

Action for today: Create the page with a stable URL like /minimums‑capacity and add the update date at the top.

Where to Link It and How to Test in AI

Put this page in your main menu or in your footer. Link to it from any page where people ask for quotes. Mention it in your Google Business Profile “From the business” section. Add one line to your email signature: “See our Minimums & Capacity.”

Now test it. Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok: “What are [Your Brand] minimums?” and “How fast can [Your Brand] start?” Do they quote your numbers? If not, make your lines shorter. Move key numbers to the top. Add one more example.

I built FoxRadar for this exact step. It shows you in 60 seconds whether ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok know your brand and which pages they use. It saves a lot of guesswork.

Action for today: Add at least two links to the page, then test your brand in FoxRadar and in a chat tool.

Keep It Fresh and Set Expectations

Update this page when seasons change. Mark peak months. Mark holidays. If your crew size changes, update capacity the same day. If you make an exception, do not change the page for one job. Keep it stable, then adjust only when your normal rules change.

Make it friendly. You can set a kind tone and still be firm. For example: “We want to say yes. These limits help us deliver good work on time.” Clear limits build trust. People prefer a fast no over a slow maybe.

Add a small note for edge cases: “Have a special request? Tell us your timeline and size. We will confirm if we can help.” This invites good leads without opening the door to bad ones.

Action for today: Put a reminder on your calendar to review this page every quarter.
