Free quote request form for service businesses

What should a quote request form include?

Ask for the details that change your price, and nothing else. For most service businesses that means:

Why collect photos with a quote request?

Photos show what customers don’t think to mention: the stain on the back seat, the moss on the north side of the roof, the stairs between the sofa and the truck. Two or three photos can often replace a site visit.

Keep photos optional, and say which shots you want. “The worst spot, up close” gets better photos than “send pictures.”

Quote request form vs. contact form

A contact form starts a conversation. A quote request form gets you to a price.

Quote request form vs. booking form

Booking forms work when the price is fixed. When the price depends on the job, ask first, then quote.

Quote or estimate: what’s the difference?

A quote is a set price for the job as described. An estimate is a best guess that may change once work starts. Many small businesses use the words interchangeably, and customers usually just want a number.

What should an estimate request collect?

The same details as a quote request, plus anything that could change the final number, like hidden damage or access you won’t know about until you arrive.

Should your quote form be online?

Yes, if you want requests that arrive complete. An online form:

• Works on any phone, where customers are when they ask “how much?”
• One link you can share anywhere
• No account or app for the customer
• Photos upload straight from the phone
• Every request arrives with the same details, in the same order

How many questions should a quote form ask?

As few as it takes to price the job. Most trades need three to six questions beyond contact details, which keeps the form to about a minute on a phone. If a question doesn’t change your price, cut it.

How to create a quote request form

1. 1

   List the details that change your price. Most trades have three to six.

   Turn each one into a question customers can answer without measuring.

3. 3

   Ask for photos of the parts you’d otherwise go look at.

4. 4

   Ask for preferred dates and a ZIP code or address.

5. 5

   Put the form on a link you can share, and send every inquiry to it.
