A contact form that says we will get back to you loses the people who wanted an answer now. A good booking setup for a trade business gives a real price where it can, a real time that fits your day, and a clean request to you when it cannot.
- Give a price from your own list when the job is standard, and ask you when it is not.
- Offer only times that fit your day and your drive.
- Send the booking straight onto your day, with a reminder to the customer.
- In Koira, Book online and Get a price sit on every page of your site, on every plan.
What a contractor's booking form should do
- Quote from your price list, never a made-up number.
- Measure what it can without a visit, like a roof, a lawn or a driveway.
- Book a time that fits the stops you already have.
- Hand you the rest as one clear question, not a long form to read.
- Work on a phone, because that is where your customers are.
How Koira takes bookings and quote requests
Every Koira site carries two buttons on every page. Book online offers open times from your day. Get a price answers from your own price list, day or night, and when the price works the customer books a time on the same page. See instant quotes.
Koira can measure roofs, lawns and driveways from above for the first number. Anything not on your list comes to you as one question: what do you charge for this? Koira asks once and uses your answer from then on. It never invents a price.
On Grow, customers can also book by text: Koira offers three open times and one reply puts the job on your day. See booking by text.
What happens after they book
- The job lands on Today, in driving order.
- The customer gets a link to their own page, where they can see the visit, sign and pay. See customer portal.
- The day before, Koira asks them to confirm or move it with one letter.
On your own site
Koira builds your site from your business the day you sign up, with Book online and Get a price on every page. It runs on a Koira address on every plan, and on your own domain on Grow. See contractor website.
What it does not do
- It does not quote services you have not priced. Those come to you first.
- It does not replace a site visit where you need one. You choose which services get an instant number and which get a look first.

Can customers book online on the free plan?

Yes. It comes to you as one question, and Koira uses your answer from then on.
Can people book by text?
On Grow, Koira texts three open times and books the one they reply with.
