The real problem
Your contact form
is losing you jobs.
You're spending money on Google Ads and SEO to drive the right people to your site. But when someone lands there, a basic contact form treats a serious buyer the same as a tyre-kicker.
It doesn't qualify. It doesn't filter. It doesn't help you follow up faster. It just drops names in your inbox and leaves you to sort it out.
Three are serious. Eight are tyre-kickers, wrong-job-size, or just price-shopping.
You have no idea which is which - so you quote them all. That's a week of wasted time.
Traffic you already paid for
A contact form gives good visitors no reason to stay. A price estimate form gives them a reason to enquire before they bounce.
Bad-fit enquiries in your inbox
Tyre-kickers, wrong-job-size leads, and price shoppers all land together. ShortStack helps separate them fast before they waste your quoting time.
Speed matters when a serious enquiry lands
Serious buyers keep shopping if you are slow. ShortStack alerts you the second a serious enquiry needs follow-up so you can move first.
How ShortStack works
First enquiry.
Won job.
Your estimator captures what the job actually is. ShortStack scores it, ranks it, and puts the next leads to call in front of you first - so you spend time on clear next steps, not dead ends.
Capture
Price estimator replaces your free quote form
Customers answer job-specific questions and get an instant price range. You get everything you need to qualify them - before you've picked up the phone.
Score
Every lead scored instantly
ShortStack scores each lead against your criteria the moment they submit - lead category, budget, location, timeline. Leads that need action surface immediately. Time-wasters don't.
Prioritise
Call the right lead first
Every lead lands ranked and ready. Open the dashboard to see who to call, what they need, and what they're likely to spend. Telegram handles the urgent alerts and quick updates.
Convert
Alert hits before they call your competitor
The second a high-intent lead comes in, you're notified - with their name, lead category, price shown, and key details. First to respond wins the job. ShortStack makes sure that's you.

Daily report, Weekly report, and Monthly results keep the bigger picture in front of you without another dashboard check.
Also watches for call-back requests, files uploaded, deposits paid, payment problems, action nudges, morning briefings, evening summaries, and maintenance plan reminders.
Customers immediately receive a branded price estimate the moment they submit - the reason they actually fill it in. Sent from your business name; no more "we'll be in touch."

FAQ
Common questions
Yes - because it promises them something. Customers fill it in because they get a price range at the end. It's in their interest, not just yours - which is why more people finish it than a standard contact form.
Best fit is high-value trades already paying for Google Ads or SEO - solar, heat pumps, roofing, pool building, and similar jobs where one extra win easily covers the subscription. If most of your work is low-value call-outs or word-of-mouth only, you're probably too early.
Most businesses are live within 48 hours. We build the estimator for you - you answer questions about your business, review what we build, and approve it before it goes live.
