For contractors

Win the work. Deliver it. Collect it.

Residential or commercial, one truck or forty — the pipeline is the same: get found, answer first, estimate clearly, follow up on schedule, and collect. We install the systems that carry it, and we publish the rates.

The RRG Method

Call & Cultivate. Meet & Impress. Close the Deal.

Three phases, in order. Skip one and the other two leak.

  1. Phase 1

    Call & Cultivate

    Search visibility, local presence, reputation, and paid media that put your company in front of buyers at the moment they start looking — and keep you in front of the ones who are not ready yet.

  2. Phase 2

    Meet & Impress

    A site that reads like a serious company, an AI and human front office that answers on the first ring, and an estimate experience that is clear about scope, timing, and price.

  3. Phase 3

    Close the Deal

    Sequenced follow-up on open estimates, recovery of missed calls and dropped forms, and reporting that shows what turned into booked work and collected cash.

StageThenNow
Getting foundA brochure site and a phonebook ad.Search, maps, reviews, and paid placement working as one visibility system.
AnsweringVoicemail after hours and during production.AI front office answers, qualifies, and routes — with a human handoff rule for anything real.
EstimatingA number scribbled on a card, mailed or texted late.Consistent scope and pricing presentation sent same day from a template.
Follow-upWhenever someone remembers.A scheduled sequence that runs on every open estimate without anyone remembering.
ReportingGut feel and a bank balance.Calls, forms, estimates, booked work, and collected cash in one owner-readable view.

The pipeline

Demand is not the problem. The handoffs are.

Seven stages sit between a search and money in the account. Every stage is a place work goes missing.

  1. 01

    Search / Referral

    Someone searches for your service or hears your name. This is the part most contractors already pay for.

  2. 02

    Call or Form

    They call, text, or submit a form. Every unanswered attempt is inventory you bought and threw away.

  3. 03

    AI / Human Response

    Answered, qualified, and routed — by an AI front office when your crew is on a roof or in a truck.

  4. 04

    Estimate

    A consistent, same-day estimate with clear scope, timing, and price.

  5. 05

    Follow-up

    Scheduled follow-up on every open estimate until you get a decision, not silence.

  6. 06

    Booked Work

    The job is scheduled and on the board with the terms you quoted.

  7. 07

    Collected Cash

    Invoiced, followed, and collected. Booked work you never collect is not revenue.

You are not in the consideration set

What it looks like
Your best service lines have no page, and the map pack shows competitors you have never bid against.
Usual cause
Thin site structure, unmanaged local listings, and no review routine.
What RRG installs
Build real service and market pages, take control of local presence, and run a review routine.

Front office simulations

See how the front office behaves before you buy it.

Four scripted scenarios: an AI receptionist call, a speed-to-lead route, an estimate follow-up sequence, and missed-opportunity recovery.

Scenario

A homeowner calls at 2:14pm while both crews are on a roof.

Interactive simulation — not a live call.

Scripted transcript

  1. 0:00 · System

    Inbound call — main line. Crew unavailable.

  2. 0:01 · AI front office

    Thanks for calling. This is the front desk — I can get your job details started right now. Is this for a repair or a replacement?

  3. 0:07 · Caller

    There's a leak over the garage after last night's storm.

  4. 0:11 · AI front office

    Understood — active leak after storm damage. What's the property address and the best number to reach you?

  5. 0:22 · Caller

    Gives address and mobile number.

  6. 0:26 · AI front office

    Got it. Active leaks route to a person. I'm texting you a confirmation and handing this to the on-call estimator now.

  7. 0:31 · System

    Handoff rule triggered: active leak → human escalation.

  8. 1:48 · Team member

    On-call estimator calls back with an inspection window.

Contractor playbooks

Different trades leak in different places.

The systems are the same. The sequence, the questions, and the follow-up cadence are not.

Pavement & Paving

Short season, large-ticket bids, and long gaps between the walk and the decision.

  • Separate pages for paving, repair, and striping so each earns its own search
  • Same-day estimate presentation with clear scope on square footage and access
  • Follow-up sequence sized to a multi-week commercial decision cycle

Sealcoating

Weather-driven scheduling and heavy price shopping on residential drives.

  • Route small residential jobs to a fast quote path, commercial to a site walk
  • Weather-aware rescheduling messages that keep jobs from cancelling outright
  • Seasonal re-engagement to property managers before the bidding window opens

Roofing & Exteriors

Storm-driven demand spikes and a crowded, aggressive local field.

  • Front office coverage that holds up when a storm triples inbound calls
  • Insurance-aware intake questions captured on the first contact
  • Reputation routine that keeps the map pack presence you built between storms

Landscape & Outdoor Living

Design-led sales with long consideration and high photo expectations.

  • Project-depth pages that show scope, materials, and process
  • Consultation booking that filters budget range before the truck rolls
  • Nurture sequence that survives a winter between interest and install

HVAC

Emergency demand, maintenance-agreement retention, and replacement timing.

  • After-hours answering with a real escalation rule for no-heat and no-cool
  • Maintenance agreement renewal cadence that runs without a dispatcher
  • Replacement follow-up for repairs that were declined or deferred

Plumbing

Urgent calls that go to whoever picks up first.

  • First-ring answering with dispatch-ready qualification
  • Text-back recovery on every missed call within the same hour
  • Repair-to-replace follow-up on aging equipment findings

Decks & Structures

Custom scope, permit timelines, and long build queues.

  • Scope and material selection captured before the design hours are spent
  • Permit and lead-time expectations set in the estimate itself
  • Queue-aware follow-up so booked work does not cancel while waiting

Adjacent Field Service

Mixed residential and commercial work with thin office coverage.

  • One intake path that sorts residential from commercial automatically
  • Coverage plan for the hours nobody is at a desk
  • Reporting that shows which service line actually books

Start with the leak, not the catalog.
