FAQ
How does the AI handle storm damage leads differently?
Our AI chatbot is trained specifically on roofing terminology. During a storm, it can qualify leads by asking about leak locations, insurance carriers, and date of loss, then instantly route high-priority leaks to your emergency tarping crew.
Will I have to manually upload photos to the new site?
No. By integrating CompanyCam, any photos your crews take on-site and tag as 'Showcase' will automatically appear in a dynamic gallery on your website, sorted by location or service type.
Does the website sync with JobNimbus or AccuLynx?
Yes, we specialize in deep integrations. When a homeowner fills out a form or uses the Roofr widget, a new contact and task are automatically created in your CRM, ensuring no leads fall through the cracks during busy seasons.
How do you help with local SEO for my service areas?
We build a 'Service Area' engine that creates individual, SEO-optimized pages for every city or neighborhood you serve. This helps you show up in 'roofing contractor near me' searches across your entire territory.
What happens to the site during a massive hail storm surge?
We host all roofing sites on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure (AWS/Google Cloud). Our sites are built to handle sudden 1,000% spikes in traffic without slowing down, ensuring you capture every lead when it matters most.
