Question 1

Who is SudsBeacon for?

Accepted Answer

SudsBeacon is a sales assistant for owner-operated pressure- and soft-washing businesses in the United States. It is designed to help small crews capture estimate requests, prepare preliminary estimates from their own rules, and follow up.

Question 2

What can a customer include in a mobile request?

Accepted Answer

A customer can send a mobile-friendly request with photos, the service address, the service they are interested in, and details about the job. Those details give the contractor context for preparing an estimate.

Question 3

How is a preliminary estimate or range prepared?

Accepted Answer

The estimate is shaped by the contractor’s configured services, coverage area, minimum charges, and pricing rules. It is preliminary: it gives the customer an initial estimate or range based on the request, rather than promising a final price for every job.

Question 4

Is the preliminary estimate a guaranteed final price?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a starting estimate or range based on the contractor’s rules and the information in the request. The contractor determines the final price for the job.

Question 5

What happens after an estimate is sent?

Accepted Answer

The SudsBeacon offer includes sending estimates by text or email and following up automatically when a customer has not replied. Sending a message does not guarantee that it was delivered or read.
