This is an excellent post and should get some love. 60% of small businesses don't have a web presence at all and 90% have only ONE of website, FB, and Yelp. Offering to handle all of this stuff and then wrapping in Proofer/AdviceLocal/Yext and twice-monthly blogging is a nice business to be in. PRetty common to get $3-5k site builds and $500-1000 a month to manage and maintain the other stuff.

You don't give a CMS, you talk to them where they are, on the phone, WhatsApp, anything. You give them customer service where customer service is completely dead.

Another thing, don't expect to create a website (for yourself) and have customers come to you. Not even with Google of FB ads. Go you them!

This is a cold-calling, customer facing, convincing business. It's ads in local papers, flyers and talking to people.
