Web Chat Lead Capture & Routing Built for Asphalt Paving Companies

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Your website chat is connected to one response system. When a homeowner or property manager starts a chat, the AI replies in seconds, asks your qualification questions, scores the lead, and either books an estimate onto your calendar or routes it to your team. Everything flows into your existing CRM automatically.","question":"How does web chat lead capture work for an asphalt paving company?"},{"answer":"Yes. The system runs 24/7/365 — nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. Nothing goes to voicemail and no chat sits unanswered. Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; this costs a fraction of one salary.","question":"Can it handle chat leads after hours and during peak paving season?"},{"answer":"Yes — honest disclosure is a feature, not something hidden. Every lead always knows they're talking to AI, and every one can reach a human, use text, or book online. The booking flow also collects explicit consent, and business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC) with quiet-hours laws followed.","question":"Will customers know they're chatting with AI instead of my office staff?"},{"answer":"It's done-for-you. We connect your chat, forms, ads, phone lines, and referral sources, then you set your response rules — first message, qualification questions, and what counts as qualified. After that everything runs automatically into your CRM and calendar. A free ~15-minute scoping call settles the plan first.","question":"How long does setup take and what do I have to do?"},{"answer":"Pricing is per minute with no seats: 21¢/min metered with no fees or commitment, 14¢/min managed plus from $149/mo, or 9¢/min at 2,000+ minutes with priority handling during spikes. There's no contract and you can cancel anytime. Only minutes actually handling leads are billed — screened spam and robocalls never are.","question":"How does per-minute pricing compare to hiring an answering service or office staff?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your chat and lead sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your website chat, forms, ads, phone lines, and referral sources are joined to one response system.
