The Problem: Slow Response Times During Severe Weather Surges
When severe hail strikes a metropolitan area, homeowner search volume explodes 600%. Legacy WordPress sites frequently crash under traffic spikes, while manual sales callbacks take hours, losing inspection slots to faster responders.
What We Set Up
Fast web pages for each storm-hit area and instant text replies, launched within 48 hours of the storm.
Operational & Financial Benchmarks
218 inspection requests converted into 84 signed roof replacement contracts within 30 days, outperforming legacy competitor response times.
