Setting Your Branded Slug (Growth+)
Section titled “Setting Your Branded Slug (Growth+)”Click the edit icon next to your quote link in Settings. Choose a slug that matches your business name — e.g., ryan-tree-care gives you arborbuddy.com/quote/ryan-tree-care. This URL goes on your truck, business cards, and social media bio.
Slugs are unique. If your preferred one is taken, try a variation.
QR Code (Growth+ and above)
Section titled “QR Code (Growth+ and above)”Once you have a branded slug, a downloadable QR code appears below the link. Click Download QR to get a high-resolution PNG.
Where to put it:
- Back window of your service truck (every job becomes a marketing billboard)
- Door hangers after a completed job in a neighborhood
- Business cards
- Invoices from your ops tool (ArboStar, Jobber, etc.)
Photo Uploads
Section titled “Photo Uploads”The quote form includes an optional photo upload. Homeowners can attach photos of the work they need done. These photos:
- Upload directly to Cloudflare R2 storage
- Appear in the lead detail panel
- Feed the Before & After Social Proof Flywheel (after you complete the job)
The Quote Form Experience
Section titled “The Quote Form Experience”From a homeowner’s perspective, the form:
- Shows your company name prominently
- Collects: name, email, phone, service needed (dropdown of 40+ services), address (with Google Maps autocomplete), message, photos
- Confirms submission with “We’ll be in touch shortly”
- Takes about 60 seconds to fill out
The form is mobile-optimized — most homeowners fill it out on their phone after seeing your truck in the neighborhood.
