Roofing
Leak, storm damage, and replacement leads answered in under a minute, with the free inspection booked before the next roofer calls back.
Storm season fills the inbox in one afternoon. Answer all of it.
What your leads actually say
Three messages roofers get every week
Verbatim in spirit. Each one arrived while the person who should answer it was on a job, and each one was also sent to 2 or 3 competitors.
“We have a water stain on the ceiling after last night's storm and I can see a couple of shingles in the yard. Can you come look this week?”
“Insurance adjuster is coming Tuesday for hail damage. Do you do inspections and can you meet the adjuster?”
“Need a quote for a full roof replacement, 2,400 sq ft, tile. Getting 3 bids. What is your timeline right now?”
How LeadBolt answers
Composed for the lead in front of it, in about 45 seconds
The reply on the right is the kind of message Live Wire, the auto-responder, sends to roofers. It is built from what the customer wrote, the service LeadBolt classified, the time of day and whether you are open, the city, and the facts you set: your prices, your policies, your license. Nothing is pasted from a script bank, and no two leads get the same message.
Strike First, the speed-to-lead engine, sends it in about 45 seconds, during hours and after. Lightning Rod, the spam detection, has already parked the lead resellers and the marketing pitches, so the crew only ever sees customers. If the customer goes quiet, Boomerang, the ghost-lead follow-up, nudges them until they answer or say stop, and the whole thread lives in Switchboard, the unified inbox, where a person can take over with one tap.
Hi Tom, this is ACME Roofing. A ceiling stain plus shingles in the yard after a storm usually means wind lifted a section, and it is worth tarping before the next one. We can do a free inspection in Scottsdale tomorrow between 9 and 11 AM or Thursday 1 to 3 PM. Reply 1 or 2. We also meet insurance adjusters on site if it comes to that.
Built from
- Customer's words: water stain, shingles in the yard, storm
- Service: Roof Repair
- 7:50 AM, open
- Scottsdale
- Your fact: adjuster meetings
- 2 windows
Illustrative reply. The appointment windows come from Dispatch, the scheduling add-on.
The services you can auto-book
5 of 8 book from the first reply
Inspections, tarping, gutters, and storm assessments book straight from the first reply because they are the estimate. Replacements and claim work book the inspection, and the quote follows the visit.
With Dispatch, the scheduling add-on, the first reply offers 2 or 3 real windows and the customer books by texting a number. Services that need a quote get the estimate visit booked the same way, which is still a booking on your calendar. Which services are bookable is set per service inside LeadBolt, so the list below is a starting point, not a rule.

Where these leads come from
The sources that matter most for roofers
Every one of them gets the same treatment: instant reply, spam screening, one inbox, and revenue attribution. Each is connected with you on a call, included with every plan.
Yelp
Where replacement shoppers compare reviews and response badges before requesting 3 quotes.
Google Local Services
Storm-week message leads, charged per lead and worth nothing after 15 minutes.
Angi
Replacement requests parsed from the lead email and answered before the other 3 roofers open theirs.
Networx
Shared leads sold to several roofers, so the first reply is the only one that matters.
Website forms
The 'free inspection' form that gets filled out at 10 PM after the leak shows up.
Seasonality and timing
When roofers get buried, and why the clock matters more then
Roofing lives and dies by the storm calendar. A single hail event or monsoon night can produce a month of leads in 6 hours, every one of them urgent, and every one of them sent to 3 or 4 companies at once. Spring and fall bring the planned replacements, when homeowners collect bids and the roofer who answers first tends to set the price the others get compared against.
Throttle, the Yelp ad tuning, pushes budget into storm weeks and blocks the keywords that bring out-of-area requests and the 'we buy leads' pitches that follow every storm. After hours, the voice rules do the right thing for a leak at midnight: tarping advice, the address, the first inspection window, and a note about meeting the adjuster. Lightning Rod, the spam detection, parks the storm-chaser marketing before the crew reads it.
Plans start at $149/mo and every plan answers every lead in under a minute. Throttle is included in Pro. See pricing for the full grid.
