Contractor lead generation guide
Contractor lead generation includes paid discovery channels and contractor-owned channels. GeoQuote can collect address-first requests from traffic directed to the contractor's link, with submitted-number code-entry result recorded separately from consent, actual contact, qualification, appointment, sale, and revenue.
A hosted quote link can provide an address-first request path for traffic from business profile, social pages, referrals, SMS, ads, and a website. GeoQuote records whether the homeowner entered the code sent to the submitted phone number, but that does not prove identity, intent, consent, future reachability, qualification, appointment, sale, or revenue. Compare channels using your own measured funnel and cost data.

one hosted link can be shared on business profile, social, SMS, QR, ads, and a website; completion varies
Roofing and solar contractors who already get attention from Google, Facebook, texts, QR codes, ads, referrals, or websites and want one branded estimate-to-proposal workflow with a hosted quote page, Lite CRM, proposal tools, and follow-up records.
Teams that require a full field-service production system, precision or insurance-grade measurement reports, native homeowner payments, material ordering, crew scheduling, or a final solar design and engineering platform.
Permitted business-profile, social, referral, SMS, QR, ad, and website placements can point to a tagged hosted quote link. Availability, traffic, completion, contact, and outcomes vary.
Marketplaces can provide discovery. Pricing, distribution, sharing, credits, and lead definitions vary by vendor, market, category, and contract; verify current terms and reconcile invoices against accepted requests and sold jobs.
GeoQuote records whether the submitted number returned the SMS code. That does not prove identity, intent, consent, qualification, project quality, or future reachability, and it should not be used to make unsupported competitor claims.
Where platform rules permit, paid traffic can land on a tagged hosted quote path. Keep ad clicks, completed requests, whether the homeowner entered the code sent to the submitted phone number, actual contact, qualification, appointments, sales, and revenue as separate measured states.
When enabled and consent is recorded, AI Follow-Up can attempt contact after a request where the homeowner entered the code sent to the submitted phone number. Exact timing, reachability, qualification, booking, sale, and revenue are not guaranteed; measure every state separately.
Compare permitted channels using current vendor terms, actual invoices, accepted requests, actual contact, appointments, sold jobs, collected revenue, gross profit, capacity, and total acquisition cost. A hosted quote link can support tagged owned-channel request capture.
Contractors can use business profile, social, referrals, SMS, QR codes, ads, a website, and permitted field outreach. A hosted quote link provides a contractor-routed request path, but it does not claim the homeowner is exclusive or prevent contact with other companies.
Channel fit, seasonality, service area, property eligibility, qualification, sales process, financing, capacity, and economics can differ by trade and market. GeoQuote can collect roofing and solar interests through a configured hosted request path; no channel advantage is guaranteed.
There is no universal number. Work backward from capacity, sold-job target, close rate, appointment attendance, qualification rate, contact rate, and request completion using the contractor's own measured data. whether the homeowner entered the code sent to the submitted phone number is not a substitute for those stages.
