How do roofing contractors get wind damage requests?
Sources can include business profile, social, referrals, SMS, a website, paid media, field outreach where permitted, and marketplaces. GeoQuote routes submissions from a contractor-controlled link to that contractor, but the homeowner may contact other companies; marketplace distribution varies by contract.
How quickly should contractors respond to wind damage requests?
Set a response target your team can monitor, then measure attempts, actual contact, contractor qualification, appointments, sales, and revenue separately. When enabled and consent is recorded, AI Follow-Up can attempt contact, but timing and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Can contractors target specific storm-affected areas?
Paid platforms may offer location targeting, subject to their rules and location accuracy. Direct traffic to a source-tagged request path and measure eligible sessions through sold jobs; targeting does not guarantee affected properties, requests, or customers.
Are wind-damage requests the same as hail-damage requests?
No. Reported event type, property eligibility, insurer context, source mix, demand, and contractor outcomes can differ. Segment them and measure accepted requests, actual contact, qualification, appointments, sales, collected revenue, and gross profit separately.
