quick Laravel troubleshooting help needed for a new feature?

hey everyone, just wanted to reach out for some advice. I recently launched my 'Laravel Quick Fix & Consultation' service, and honestly, it's been going pretty well so far. I'm getting a steady stream of clients, which is awesome. but i'm running into a bit of a challenge with the "consultation" part of it. initially, I thought most requests would be quick Laravel troubleshooting for small bugs or minor tweaks. however, what's actually happening is a lot of people are coming to me needing much deeper Laravel consulting for new features, complex integrations, or even refactoring existing code. these aren't quick fixes at all, they're proper Laravel developement tasks that take way more time and effort than I anticipated, and it's kinda messing with my turnaround times and my ability to give accurate quotes.

so, my main question is, how can i better scope these more involved 'Laravel consulting' tasks? i'm struggling to manage client expectations and set appropriate pricing, especially when it involves diving deep into complex Laravel development issues that weren't immediately obvious. i really need some advice on structuring my services or perhaps different pricing models for these deeper dives. help a brother out please...
