Below we explain the most common USE CASE for each type of Advanced Booking Page as well as how they can easily be created and embedded onto your website
Service Request Pages:
The goal of the page is:
To engage the online shopper by providing them with an instant confirmation of a scheduled:
"call back"
"onsite estimate"
"video conference call"
thus putting them at ease by giving them a confirmation that they have a scheduled engagement with your company for potential services they are in need of. This will likely stop them from contacting your competitors.
USE CASE (often used when) :
GENERAL: The service you are selling is highly complex and cannot be instantly priced or quoted even if the customer provides detailed description of the job required.
Additional characteristics of the type of services where a Service Request Page should be used;
absolutely requires a on-site visit in order to:
take detailed measurements which cannot be calculated or determined by your customer.
requires a physical inspection which cannot be completed by viewing an image or picture
a significant portion of total cost of the work performed is cost of materials
Multiple trades are required to complete the jon
Multiple visits extending across multiple days are required to do the job
You want to filter and follow up with leads manually.
The total cost/pricing of the service is very high (eg .> 425,000) which will likely result in the customer wanting multiple bids from different service pros in your field.
Often used for Service Sectors such as:
Major Home or Commercial Renovations or Repairs
Construction Services
Plumbing Renovations (for emergency services see below use cases)
Electrical Renovations (for emergency services see below use cases)
Landscaping large projects
Roofing -complete renewals
Masonry rebuild or installation
2. Live Pricing & Real Time Booking Pages:
The goal of the page is:
To instantly provide visitors or viewers on the booking page with a very fast and convenient buying and appointment scheduling experience which will in-turn stop them from shopping elsewhere. By providing consumers with instant personalized pricing and a confirmed appointment in real-time you are saving them a ton of time normally required in a traditional a multi-step estimating and quoting process. Thus saving them (and you) time and frustration all while making possible for you to sell (and customers to buy) your services 24/7
USE CASE (often used when):
GENERAL: The service you are selling can be easily estimated and priced by simply collecting several data points directly from the consumer. The data points collected can each be costed/priced by associating a time duration (eg 1 hour, 30 minutes) to each data point. As such the total hours, duration required can be added up and the price of the service can be calculated and provided to the customer as well as scheduled in real-time. All whilst the customer answers question appearing on the booking page.
Additional characteristics of services where a Live Pricing and Real-Time Booking Page should be used;
Does not require a on-site visit in order to price the job
Typically the service offered is labor intense and traditionally estimated by determining the total labor time to complete the job.
If materials or parts are required, their costs are standard or predictable and not material (or can be easily factored into) to the total price/cost of the service.
If measurements or a count is required (eg square footage or number of units) the customer can easily provide the required information.
Pricing accurately does not require an onsite physical inspection
Multiple trades are NOT required to complete the jo
Each instance of the service provided (including for recurring services) can be completed in one visit and mostly under one day
The total cost/pricing of each instance of the service is low (Eg >$25 and usually less than $2000 per instance including recurring services).
The customer is looking for convenience in; i) the speed of the purchase (eg getting personalized pricing instantly) and ii) ability to schedule an appointment in real-time, all without having to wait for a quote or estimate. Essentially, it's not worth the time and effort required to get multiple quotes.
Often used for Service Sectors such as:
Home / Residential Cleaning Services (Maid, Carpet/Upholstery, Windows, Carpet, Chimney Sweeping, Pressure/Power washing, Gutters, Pools, Airducts, etc)

3. Interactive Quote Pages:

It is difficult to estimate the service basis individual items/components and rather requires lump-sum quoting.
Estimating the job requires reviewing additional information like photos, attachments etc.
