Launch and AI Follow-Up

2Satellite Roof Measurement

Definition: The process of calculating roof area, pitch, ridge/hip/valley lengths, and facet count using aerial or satellite imagery — without a physical site visit. Accuracy depends on imagery resolution and roof complexity.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote delivers satellite roof measurement context via the Google Solar API where data is available. Unlike per-report measurement workflows, GeoQuote is designed as a hosted quote-link layer.

Satellite Roof Estimate

3Hosted Quote Link

Definition: A shareable quote page a contractor can use on Google Business Profile, Facebook, SMS, QR codes, email, ads, or a website. It usually starts with address validation, satellite estimate context, phone verification, and follow-up.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote.ai uses hosted quote links as the primary front-door workflow, with website embed available later as an optional channel.

Quote-link category page

4OTP Lead Verification

Definition: One-Time Password verification applied to quote capture, where a homeowner confirms their phone number via SMS code before the request is delivered to the contractor. Reduces spam, bots, and unreachable contacts.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote can require OTP phone verification before request delivery, helping contractors receive confirmed, reachable phone numbers.

5Conversion Security Layer

Definition: A proactive quote-start system that captures high-intent homeowners before they bounce — using instant estimates, AI chat, or interactive tools — rather than relying on passive forms.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote functions as a conversion security layer: instead of hoping homeowners fill out a form, it engages them with a fast satellite estimate experience.

6Per-Report Fee

Definition: A pricing model where contractors pay for each individual property measurement report. Common in legacy platforms: EagleView charges $20-90/report, Roofr charges $13-19/report, HOVER charges $25/property.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote uses flat-rate two-plan pricing ($299-599/mo) with no GeoQuote per-report fee for normal contractor quote-link usage.

7Flat-Rate Contractor Software

Definition: SaaS pricing where all features, reports, and measurements are included in a single monthly fee — no per-lead, per-report, or per-user surcharges. Provides cost predictability for contractors.

8AI Follow-Up (Contractor)

Definition: An AI system that can make consent-based outbound phone calls to homeowner leads, confirm interest, answer questions, and help book appointments.

Definition: A structured data payload delivered to contractors containing: homeowner contact info, validated address, satellite measurement data, estimate context, weather risk signals, OTP verification status, and booking status.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote generates enriched lead packets with quote request data, including address confidence score, weather risk, source, verification, and follow-up status.

10Weather-Aware Scheduling

Definition: The practice of incorporating precipitation probability, wind speed, and temperature forecasts into contractor lead packets and scheduling — helping exterior contractors prioritize jobs and reduce weather-related cancellations.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote can enrich lead packets with weather context, helping contractors consider exterior-job timing before follow-up.

11Owned-Channel Conversion

Definition: Converting homeowner attention the contractor already owns (Google Business Profile, Facebook, SEO, Google Ads, referrals, SMS, QR codes, and website visits) into quote requests and appointments.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote converts existing owned channels into exclusive opportunities, reducing dependence on shared marketplace lead buying.

GeoQuote vs Angi

12Contractor Bounce Rate

Definition: The percentage of visitors who land on a contractor website and leave without taking any action. Contractor sites with static forms often lose a large share of visitors before contact.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote is designed to reduce contractor bounce rates by replacing passive forms with an interactive satellite estimate experience that engages homeowners within seconds.

13Flat Quote-Link Pricing

Definition: A pricing model where the contractor pays one monthly platform fee instead of paying per quote request, per roof report, or per shared marketplace contact.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote uses two-plan pricing for contractors: $299/mo Launch for the hosted quote link, or $599/mo AI Follow-Up when the contractor wants consent-based follow-up.

14Instant Estimator Widget

Definition: An embeddable website component (typically <50KB) that delivers property-aware cost estimates to homeowners in under 60 seconds. Uses satellite imagery, regional pricing data, and material algorithms.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote can run as a hosted quote link first, then the same quote flow can be embedded on a contractor website when they are ready.

15CRM Field Mapping

Definition: The process of mapping lead packet data fields (contact info, address, estimate context, weather risk) to corresponding fields in a contractor's CRM system (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, JobNimbus, AccuLynx).

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote supports CRM field mapping to pass 12+ data points per lead into downstream contractor sales workflows.

CRM Integration

16Address Validation Confidence

Definition: A score (0-100) indicating how reliably a homeowner's address was verified against authoritative databases. Higher confidence means cleaner data, fewer wasted site visits, and better lead quality.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote uses the Google Address Validation API to normalize and score every address before expensive property analysis, ensuring contractors receive clean, deliverable lead data.

17Branded PDF Proposal

Definition: An auto-generated estimate document featuring the contractor's logo, company information, and contact details — sent to homeowners as a professional-looking proposal after the satellite estimate.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote generates branded PDF proposals with contractor branding, satellite imagery, and estimate breakdowns — delivered automatically to homeowners.

18First-to-Call Advantage

Definition: The competitive principle that homeowners are most engaged shortly after submitting an inquiry, so faster follow-up can protect opportunities that would otherwise go cold.

GeoQuote.ai: GeoQuote's AI Follow-Up can call or message verified requests quickly after consent-based submission, helping contractors reduce callback delay.

19Autonomous Appointment Booking

Definition: AI-assisted scheduling where the system helps move a verified homeowner from initial contact toward calendar confirmation. Includes call, qualification, objection handling, and calendar sync.
