Request forms that bring the details with them
Clients tell you what they need, where, and attach a photo. The request lands in your email, so you can call back already knowing the job. Every plan has them, from the digital business card up.
- Questions that fit your work
- Photo uploads
- Requests sent to your email
What makes a good request form?
A request form is the quiet version of a phone call. The client tells you what they need, where and when, and attaches a photo of the problem or the space. You read it when you have a minute and call back already knowing what you're quoting.
The trick is to ask only what you need. Every extra field loses people. A name, a way to reach them, what they need and a photo usually cover it. On QRaway the form sits behind your buttons, like "Get a quote", "Book a visit" or "Ask a question", so people pick the one that fits.
Request forms come with every plan, starting with the $99 Digital Business Card, and each request comes straight to your email.
A form also catches the people who browse at night. They find you at 11 pm and won't call, but they'll fill in four fields. In the morning their request is waiting for you.

What to ask in a request form
Fewer fields, more requests. Here's a sensible place to start.
Name
A first name is enough for most people.
Phone or email
Let them choose how they'd like to hear back.
What they need
A short text box, or a few choices if your services are clear-cut.
Where
The address or the town, if you go to your clients.
When
Urgent, this week, or just planning ahead.
A photo
The leak, the room, the car, the idea. It saves a site visit or a dozen questions.
Nothing else
Budget, company size and how they found you can wait for the call.
A request form, or just your phone number?
Most people put a number on their page and hope. Here's what that misses.
Just a phone number
Good forPeople who want to talk right away.
Leaves outYou miss calls while you work, and plenty of people would rather not call at all.
An email address
Good forClients who like to write.
Leaves outThey forget the address, the photo and half the details, and you spend three emails asking.
Social media messages
Good forQuick questions from followers.
Leaves outRequests get buried between likes and spam, with no structure to what people send.
Quote request marketplaces
Good forGetting a few requests when you're new or it's quiet.
Leaves outThe same request may go to several businesses at once, and many of these sites charge per lead.
Buttons plus a form
Call for the ones in a hurry, a short form with photos for everyone else, all on your own page.

Questions about request forms
Where do requests go?
To your email, with everything the client typed and any photos they attached.
Can clients attach photos and files?
Yes. Photos of the job, plans or a document come with the request.
Can I have different forms for different things?
Yes. Each button can open its own form: a quote request, a booking request, a question.
Is this the same as a contact form?
Close, but a contact form asks "how can we help?" and waits. A request form asks the few things you need to quote, so the first call is shorter.
Can I download my requests?
Ask us about exporting your requests as a CSV or JSON file.
Can a form replace a phone call completely?
For some jobs, yes. For most, it's the first step: you call back already knowing what they need, and the call is shorter.
Can each service ask its own questions?
Yes. A roof repair and a gutter cleaning don't need the same questions, so each form asks only what fits.
How fast should I answer a request?
As fast as you reasonably can. People often contact two or three businesses at once, so the first useful reply has a real advantage.
Do I need a full website to have a request form?
No. The Digital Business Card has request forms behind its buttons, on a single page.
What should I do with a request I can't take?
Answer anyway, briefly, and point them to someone who can. It costs a minute, and people remember who was helpful.
What should my reply to a new request say?
Thank them, confirm what they asked for and give the next step: a time to call, a visit, or a rough price. Short and specific wins the job more often than long and polite.
