Why a contact form isn't enough
A plain contact form brings in a name, a number and a message like "need a quote for my yard". Then you call back, leave a voicemail, and spend ten minutes on the phone learning that the yard is outside your area or the job is one you don't do. An estimate form asks those questions up front, so you can sort requests at a glance and call back the ones worth pricing with the details already in hand.
How the form works
Long forms put people off, so we split them into short steps. The first asks what kind of job it is. The next steps change with the answer: a roofing request asks about the roof type and whether there's a leak now, a landscaping request asks about yard size and what's there today, an electrical request asks about the age of the home and the panel. Photos come straight from the phone camera. Contact details come last, once the customer has already put in some effort.
Service-area check
The form can check the address or ZIP code against the area you cover. Requests inside it go through as normal. Requests outside it can be flagged for you, or the customer can see a polite note that you don't cover their area yet, which saves a callback for both of you.
Where requests go
| Destination | Good for |
|---|---|
| Email to you or the office | Small crews where the owner reads every request |
| A text alert plus email | Trades where the first callback wins the job |
| A shared spreadsheet | Tracking requests, site visits and won jobs in one place |
| Your job management software | Businesses that already schedule and quote in a field service tool |
Junk requests
Public forms attract spam and sales pitches. We add hidden traps and checks that don't get in the way of real customers, and the required address and job questions filter out most of the rest.
Questions
Can the form show a price range?
For simple jobs with a clear formula, such as fence length times a material rate, yes, as a range you set. Most trades prefer to confirm after seeing photos, and we can build it either way.
Can you add a form to my current site?
Often, yes, if your site lets us embed one. We'll check what your platform allows and say so in the quote.
