Frequently Asked Questions

GeoQuote.ai is an AI-powered quoting platform for roofing contractors and solar installers. It uses satellite imagery via Google Solar API to generate instant, accurate property estimates. Contractors embed a widget on their website that lets visitors see their property from satellite and get an instant quote — then GeoQuote's AI books the appointment automatically.

GeoQuote works in 3 steps: (1) A homeowner visits your contractor website and enters their address, (2) GeoQuote displays a satellite view of their property and generates an instant estimate based on measured dimensions and your custom pricing, (3) GeoQuote verifies the lead via SMS and AI-books an appointment on your calendar. The entire process takes under 3 minutes.

GeoQuote is currently designed for roofing contractors and solar installers. The product, pricing, and conversion flow are optimized around roof measurement, solar suitability data, instant estimates, and fast appointment booking for those two trades.

GeoQuote.ai was selected for the Google for Startups Cloud Program (2026 cohort), receiving $2,000 in Google Cloud credits and access to Google's startup ecosystem. The platform is built on Google Cloud infrastructure and uses Google's Solar API for satellite measurements. While not directly funded by Google, the Google for Startups Cloud Program selection validates the technology and business model.

GeoQuote is the only platform that combines satellite-based property measurement with AI-powered appointment booking in one widget. Unlike standalone measurement tools (EagleView, RoofSnap) or CRM platforms (AccuLynx, JobNimbus), GeoQuote captures leads, generates estimates, and books appointments automatically — all from a single embeddable widget on your existing website.

GeoQuote currently offers four plans for roofing and solar contractors: Peak Season at $999/month, Off-Season at $299/month, Website Overhaul at $499 one-time, and Growth Plan at $199/month. Peak Season is the full platform for high-demand months, Off-Season keeps the SEO and follow-up layer active during slower months, and the service plans let you rebuild or grow without adding a traditional per-lead fee model.

No. GeoQuote uses a flat monthly subscription model with zero per-lead fees. This is fundamentally different from lead marketplaces like Angi (HomeAdvisor) and Thumbtack, which charge $15-$100+ per lead. With GeoQuote, you keep 100% of the leads your website generates. Contractors report 40-60% lower cost per lead compared to lead marketplaces.

Peak Season and Off-Season are designed to stay flexible so contractors can adapt to real demand instead of carrying unnecessary overhead. GeoQuote also offers an annual seasonal plan that bundles the year at a discount, plus one-time and monthly service offers for overhaul and growth support.

Yes. GeoQuote is designed so contractors can move between seasonal plans as their market changes. You can step into Peak Season when you need maximum booking capacity, shift to Off-Season when volume softens, and add Overhaul or Growth services when you want your website and SEO upgraded.

GeoQuote.ai is fundamentally different from Angi (HomeAdvisor). Angi sells shared leads at $15-$100+ per lead, creating a bidding war between 3-5 contractors. GeoQuote is a widget on YOUR website — visitors see their property via satellite, get an instant estimate, and GeoQuote's AI books the appointment. You own the leads exclusively, there's no competition, and you pay a flat monthly rate instead of per-lead fees.

Thumbtack charges contractors per lead and shares each lead with multiple businesses. GeoQuote generates leads directly from YOUR website, so you're the only contractor the homeowner sees. GeoQuote also provides satellite-based instant estimates (Thumbtack doesn't) and AI-powered appointment booking. The result: higher conversion rates, lower cost per lead, and no competition for the same customer.

RoofSnap and EagleView are measurement-only tools — they measure roofs but don't verify visitors or book appointments. GeoQuote combines satellite measurement with phone verification and AI appointment booking in one platform. While RoofSnap charges per measurement report ($10-$30), GeoQuote provides unlimited satellite views within your plan and books appointments on your calendar automatically.

AccuLynx and JobNimbus are CRM/project management platforms for contractors — they manage jobs after you've won them. GeoQuote focuses on the front-end: capturing website visitors, providing instant estimates, and booking appointments via AI. Many contractors use GeoQuote alongside their CRM. GeoQuote captures the lead; AccuLynx/JobNimbus manages the project.

Yes. Traditional contact forms have a 2-5% conversion rate. GeoQuote's interactive satellite widget has significantly higher engagement because visitors can see their actual property and get an instant estimate — which provides immediate value. The AI appointment booking also eliminates the manual follow-up that causes most contact form leads to go cold.

GeoQuote uses Google Solar API measurements, which provide roof and property dimensions from high-resolution aerial imagery. Satellite estimates are typically within 5-10% of manual measurements, which is sufficient for initial quoting. They're designed to replace the first estimate (the ballpark), not the final bid. Contractors customize pricing per square foot, material costs, and labor rates to match their local market.

GeoQuote works for residential properties in the US and Canada where strong satellite imagery is available. It is currently focused on roofing and solar use cases, especially suburban and urban homes where roof visibility and geometry are reliable enough for instant pre-qualification.

Yes. GeoQuote uses Google Solar API satellite imagery to measure roof areas and generate instant roofing estimates. Homeowners enter their address, see their actual property from satellite, and get a detailed estimate for roofing materials and labor. This eliminates the need for an initial site visit just to provide a ballpark quote.

GeoQuote focuses on the measurements that matter most for roofing and solar: roof area, roof geometry, usable roof sections, and solar-related roof data from Google Solar API. The goal is to give homeowners a credible instant ballpark estimate before your team ever does the final on-site inspection.

Adding GeoQuote takes under 5 minutes. Copy a single line of embed code from your GeoQuote dashboard and paste it into your website. The widget automatically appears and matches your site's design. No developer needed. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, and any custom HTML site.

Yes. GeoQuote works on WordPress via a simple embed code — just paste it into a page, post, or widget area. No plugin required. It also works with popular WordPress page builders like Elementor, Divi, and Beaver Builder.

Yes. GeoQuote works on any website platform including Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, GoDaddy, and custom HTML sites. Installation requires just one line of embed code. The widget automatically matches your site's design and can be fully customized with your company logo, colors, and branding.

Yes. GeoQuote's widget is fully customizable. You can add your company logo, brand colors, company name, and custom service pricing. The branded PDF proposals also include your company information, making every estimate look professional and on-brand.

GeoQuote provides exports and operational handoff options so your team can move verified homeowner data into the rest of your workflow. The immediate focus of the product is conversion, verification, and appointment capture for roofing and solar contractors rather than being positioned as a full CRM replacement.

After a website visitor gets their satellite estimate, GeoQuote verifies their interest via SMS. Then GeoQuote's AI makes an automated follow-up call to qualify the lead and book an appointment directly on your calendar. This replaces manual callbacks, reduces lead response time to under 3 minutes, and can convert up to 50% of qualified leads into scheduled appointments.

Yes. When a visitor completes an estimate and verifies via SMS, GeoQuote's AI initiates an automated call to qualify their interest, confirm the project details, and book a site visit on your calendar. You receive a notification with the appointment details. The AI handles the entire follow-up process so you can focus on doing the work.

Yes. AI appointment booking is optional. You can use GeoQuote purely as a satellite estimate widget and receive leads via email/SMS notifications. You can then do manual follow-up at your own pace. Many contractors start with manual follow-up and enable AI booking once they see the conversion improvement.

GeoQuote is designed to convert more of the traffic you already pay for compared with a normal contact form. The satellite estimate experience creates a stronger reason to engage, and the faster follow-up layer helps turn more verified homeowners into booked inspections.

For each verified customer, GeoQuote can capture the homeowner's name, phone number, email, property address, relevant roof or solar context, and the instant estimate context generated during the session. That gives your team a much stronger starting point than a generic form fill.

Yes. GeoQuote supports CSV export for importing leads into your CRM, and PDF export for individual estimates. All lead data belongs to you — GeoQuote never sells or shares your leads with other contractors.

Yes. GeoQuote supports solar installers with roof-based qualification, usable roof data, and instant estimate flows that help homeowners understand capacity and potential savings before your sales team speaks with them.

Yes. GeoQuote includes built-in consent capture for GDPR (EU) and PIPEDA (Canada) compliance. All lead data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can export or delete individual lead records at any time. GeoQuote follows SOC2-equivalent data handling practices and never sells or shares customer data with third parties.

Never. GeoQuote builds YOUR website — not a marketplace listing. Every visitor who books through your site is exclusively yours. Unlike Angi, HomeAdvisor, or Thumbtack, GeoQuote never shares your inquiries with competing contractors. Your visitors are your visitors.
