What they did

The roofer's problem wasn't lead volume. Storm surges, missed calls and after-hours forms meant leads went cold before anyone replied. AI agents now text back form fills in seconds, call back missed calls, qualify by ZIP code and job type, book inspections on the calendar, and push active leaks straight to the team.

How to copy it

Time your current first response to a web form. Most shops are shocked.
Have the agent reply by text first, then book from the same thread.
Write a short list of what counts as an emergency (active leak, ceiling damage) and route those to a human immediately.
Tell the agent what it must never do: diagnose, quote a price, or give insurance advice.

Act as my setup advisor. Before you suggest anything, ask me up to five short questions about my business (team size, call or lead volume, the software I already use, my budget). Then give me a step-by-step plan for my shop: which tools fit what I already have, rough monthly cost, how long setup takes, and what usually goes wrong. Keep it plain and practical.
