Ask for the roofing service type first
Roofing visitors may need leak repair, storm damage help, roof replacement, inspection, maintenance, gutter work, or a quote. The assistant should identify the service type before asking for contact details.
- Leak repair
- Storm damage
- Replacement
- Inspection
- Maintenance
Check urgency without overpromising
Emergency wording needs care. The chatbot can ask whether there is active leaking, visible damage, or a safety concern, then route urgent cases to a phone or priority request path without promising availability it cannot confirm.
- Active leak
- Visible damage
- Safety concern
- Preferred contact method
Confirm service area and property type
A roofing lead is only useful if the company serves the location and property type. The assistant should ask for city or ZIP code and whether the visitor is asking about a home, commercial property, rental, or managed property.
- City or ZIP
- Residential or commercial
- Owner or manager
- Property access needs
Collect insurance and inspection context carefully
For storm or insurance-related inquiries, the assistant can ask whether the visitor has contacted insurance, has photos, or needs an inspection. It should avoid giving legal, coverage, or claim advice.
- Insurance contacted
- Photos available
- Inspection requested
- No claim promises
Route high-intent leads to booking or call paths
If a visitor has a clear service need, location fit, urgency, and contact details, the assistant should offer a call, booking link, or quote request path instead of continuing unnecessary chat.
- Call click
- Booking path
- Quote request
- Saved chat context
Use the chatbot data to improve follow-up
The team should see the visitor's service type, urgency, location, property type, photos or insurance context, source page, and preferred contact method before responding.
- Lead summary
- Source page
- Service interest
- Urgency flag
- Contact details
