How to set up your Instant Estimator

1) Creating a new Estimator

  • Navigate to Instant Estimator in your Roofr Dashboard and click New Instant Estimator

  • Name the estimator (Select a name that describes how this estimator will be used ie: website homepage)

  • Click Create

2) Managing your estimator link

  • Edit link: customize the end of your estimator link

    • When updating/changing your link, the old link will no longer work

  • QR code: download a SVG or PNG file of a QR that will link to your estimator

  • Embed code: copy and paste this code into your website where you want the estimator to appear

3) Managing Estimator questions

💡 Customize the questions on your Instant Estimator. Remember, more questions can reduce conversion rates. Include only what's essential for qualifying leads.

  • Click Manage questions

  • The following questions are locked and cannot be removed from your estimator:

    • Address

    • Slope selection

    • Desired material

    • Contact form. Contact information will be pulled from your Roofr User Profile section.

  3. Custom material - Add any unlisted materials

  • Set your pricing, photos, and description for each material

  • Click Save

💡 You can create multiple options for each material to offer "Good, Better, Best" pricing tiers.

5) Managing pricing settings

  • Select if you would like to specify your pricing by square foot or square

    • This can be changed at anytime and pricing will be updated accordingly

  • Select if you would like to show your prices as a range instead of a single price and set the percentage range

  • Select if you would like to show financing and set the terms that will be shown on your Estimator

  • Add a financing link (optional).

6) Set default assignee

  • The default assignee will be assigned to every new lead that is created from this estimator

  • Contact information will be pulled from this person’s Roofr profile page

8) Add scheduling link (optional)

  • Include a link to your Calendly, google calendar etc

9) Additional content (optional)

  • Choose to show your CompanyCam project showcase and/or social media links on your estimator

10) Publish

  • Toggle ON ‘Mark as Published’ to go live

    • When toggle is off (draft state) you can preview the Estimator without creating a new lead

    • Unpublishing your Instant Estimator takes it offline — customers who visit the link will see a renovation screen.
