    In this Read Listen Watch®, Megan Ellsworth is joined by Austin Rosenbaum of Demand IQ and Marc Hansen of JobNimbus to examine how the roofing customer journey is shifting from a handoff between marketing and sales to a single, connected experience. As Google elevates contractors who provide online estimates and clear pricing, homeowners increasingly expect speed, transparency and a digital-first path forward. This session explores how leading contractors are meeting those expectations by pairing instant online estimates from Demand IQ with the rapid response, automated follow-up and organized sales workflows of JobNimbus. The result is a smoother transition from first click to signed contract. If your company generates strong lead volume but struggles to convert, this webinar will show practical ways to close the gap, respond faster and turn more opportunities into booked jobs.    Learn more at RoofersCoffeeShop.com!  https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/     Are you a contractor looking for resources?

Google has introduced an "Online Estimates" filter when homeowners search for "Roofing company near me", and nearly 1 in 5 buyers are already using it. If your website does not offer an online estimate experience, you may not appear for those high-intent searches. In this session, the team breaks down how the filter works, the key requirements to show up in it, and why Google is prioritizing contractors who provide pricing transparency and a simple estimate experience online. You will also see how tools powered by Eagleview property data and AI can generate fast, accurate estimates from your website that help contractors capture more leads from organic search, Google Ads, and social traffic while making it easier for homeowners to start their project.
