It works for home services, real estate, clinics, wellness providers, auto repair shops, salons, event venues, legal offices, accountants, and other businesses that need qualified local inquiries.

Can agencies adapt this for client websites?

Yes. Agencies can customize the service categories, qualification questions, lead fields, and handoff path for each client.

Does it replace booking software?

No. It qualifies the request and can point to a booking link or hand off to a team member. It should complement the existing calendar, CRM, or phone process.

How does this support agent-as-marketing?

The page becomes a useful interactive service page: visitors get answers, the business captures intent, and the agency learns what questions should become better content.

7
8## Intake Flow
91. **Service needed** - Ask what problem they need solved and which service category fits.
102. **Location** - Ask for city, ZIP code, or service address area so the business can confirm coverage.
113. **Urgency** - Ask whether this is urgent, this week, this month, or exploratory.
