Instant quotes: price the job while they are still on the page

Call for a quote made sense when every job was different and the only person who could price it was you. For a lot of businesses that is no longer true: the price depends on a handful of answers, and the answers are the customer's to give.

An instant quote asks those questions on the page, applies your rules and shows a price or a range. The customer gets what they came for, and you get a lead who already knows the number.

The leak

Your site says call for pricing. The customer wanted a number, not a call. They go to the competitor whose site gave them one, and you never know they were there.

The number it moves

Calls needed to sign a customer, and time from first visit to paid.

Why call for pricing leaks

People looking for a price are comparing. Making them call to compare is a cost you are adding to your own offer. Some will call; many will not, and the ones who do are now a phone call you have to be free for. The quote calculator takes the pricing conversation off your plate for the jobs where the rules are clear.

How the calculator works

The customer answers a few questionsAddress, size, type, frequency, add-ons. The first question is always the easiest one.
The system checks what it canService area, availability, anything that rules the job out early.
Your rules price the jobBase price by region and type, adjustments for size and extras. The rules are yours, written down once.
The price appears, with the next stepBook it, pay a deposit, or ask for a person. All three create a lead in the CRM.
You see the quote and the answersEvery quote is logged, so you know what people asked for, even the ones who did not buy.

When it does not fit, and what we build instead

Custom work, renovations and anything that needs a site visit cannot be priced by a form. There we build a guided estimate: the same questions, but the output is a range and a booked visit instead of a fixed price. The customer still leaves with a number and a time, and you still get the lead.

What you need

Your pricing, written as rules, even rough ones. We help turn a spreadsheet or a habit into rules.

Questions, answered.

What if the calculator gives a price that is wrong for the job?

The rules include the cases where a person has to look, and those jobs get a range and a visit instead of a fixed price. You also see every quote, so a rule that is off gets fixed, not repeated.

Will people just use it to shop around?

Some will, and they are the same people who would have called three businesses. The difference is you now know they were there and can follow up.

Does it work for services with travel costs?

Yes. Region or distance is one of the rules, usually the first one, so out-of-area visitors are told early instead of after a call.
