Intake Form

A digital form customers fill out to request a service estimate. Typically collects name, address, service type, contact info, and any special requests.

In Depth

A well-designed intake form captures all the information a contractor needs to generate an estimate without a site visit. Modern intake forms include address autocomplete, service selection, and optional photo upload for AI previews.

Example Usage

"When a customer clicked the QR code on the contractor's truck, they were taken to an intake form that took 90 seconds to complete."
