How long should a service page be?

Long enough to answer the questions customers ask before they book. There is no required word count.

Should every service have a separate page?

Give a service its own page when customers search for it and it needs its own explanation. Keep small variations together so pages are not thin or repetitive.

Can a service page list prices?

Yes, if the prices are accurate and you can keep them current. If fixed prices are impossible, explain a verified range, a minimum, or what affects the quote.
