I’ve been refining an idea and realized it might be more than just an estimator. A simple, easy-to-use online estimator on my website—enter acreage and location, then tap through visual options (current property status, project size, terrain, desired finish) to match their land and get a quick price range, with the option to request a free in-person quote (maybe more options?). What I’m thinking about building is something that: • Gives a fast ballpark without a traditional form • Uses visual selections instead of long inputs • Keeps it low friction (no name required) • Captures location (town or address) But on the backend, it gives me data on: • Where demand is coming from • What type of jobs people are looking for • Which areas are “hot” vs “cold” So even if someone doesn’t request a quote, I still walk away with useful info to guide ads and targeting. I want more data… Basically turning an estimator into a lead intelligence tool. Curious if anyone else has tried something like this, or sees any blind spots I’m missing.

7 leads, 7 in person quotes (batting 100% here) 3 scheduled & got deposit 20 hours seat time 2 acre job finished and paid Hows everyone elses week going?

So this season is going gang busters. I now have over $100k of jobs on the books and my schedule is full almost to the end of June. Today I did another 10 estimate appointments, have another 10 next Friday, another 6 the Friday after that and another 10 leads I'm still chasing down and more coming in each day! For all of today's estimates I had to tell them I was booking new jobs in June. I booked 8 of those jobs with the other 2 being strong maybes. When I told each of them that my first available dates were in June they were all a little shocked but were already sold on the work so it wasn't a deal killer. Here's my dilemma; when I do next week's estimates I'll be telling some of them that I'm booking new jobs in *JULY* which is 3+ months away. In the past I've observed that jobs booked out too far are subject to more cancellations when the time gets closer to the job date. I'm considering pausing my ads for a bit (or maybe reducing the daily spend from $50 down to $10 or something?) So, has anyone else run into this problem? Am I crazy to think about pausing/slowing the ads down for 4-6 weeks? Any other suggestions/opinions? Before you suggest it, I'm just not at a place where I feel like I could or even want to find/train/equip other employees. Being the boss that just drives ads & estimates is a future goal but not yet.

have had my ad posted for 4-6 days now. but I noticed the spending has stopped for the past 2.5days. the dollar amount has not gone up with the daily budget set... so two nights ago I went did some editing, changing the daily budget, changing the location and etc. still no change in the dollar daily spend. so this morning I went ahead and completely deleted the whole ad and created a new one. wasn't sure what else to do at the point. Any one else run into this issue?
