The problem

The website was getting leads, but the handoff was too quiet.

Stump Hero relies on fast quote response, clear job details, and good follow-up. Like many local service businesses, their leads can come in from website forms, phone calls, photos, texts, and after-hours inquiries.

Customer side

The lead did not get confirmation outside the browser.

After submitting the form, the customer saw an in-browser confirmation, but they did not receive an SMS or email confirming that Stump Hero had their request.

Admin side

New lead alerts were too easy to miss.

Follow-up depended too much on checking email. If the admin responded late, sometimes close to the end of the 24-hour window, the lead could already be cold.

What this meant

If the admin waited too long, the customer could be left wondering whether the website delivered the form and whether anyone had seen it.

What we built

A workflow that confirms the lead and alerts the admin.

We kept the quote form as the starting point. From there, the workflow sends customer confirmations, pushes a visible SMS alert to the admin, saves the lead details, and keeps photo follow-up connected to the request.

Lead follow-up workflow

1

Quote request submitted

The website form captures the customer’s contact details, service address, stump details, notes, and photo when available.

2

Customer confirmation sent

The customer gets a short SMS confirmation right away, plus a detailed email confirming their submitted details and what to expect next.

3

Admin SMS alert sent

The admin receives a new lead alert by text, making the request harder to miss than an email-only notification.

4

Lead saved for review

The request is routed into Google Sheets so the team can review the quote details, contact info, location, and photo in one place.

5

Missing details handled by SMS

If a photo or extra detail is needed, SMS follow-up can collect it and keep it connected to the original request.

The outcome

More website leads turned into booked jobs.

The updated website and follow-up setup gave Stump Hero a clearer path from quote request to booked job, with customer confirmations and visible admin alerts built into the handoff.
