Overview

TreeQuote AI — Tree Service Estimate & Storm Lead Business

Marketplace Listing Description

TreeQuote AI is a ready-to-run SaaS platform that helps tree service companies qualify leads, dominate storm damage response, prepare estimates, automate follow-ups, and run seasonal marketing campaigns — all without the owner lifting a finger.

The tree service industry is fragmented, old-school, and ripe for disruption. Most companies (5–50 trucks) still take leads via voicemail and text message. When a storm hits, the company that responds first wins the job. TreeQuote AI is built to be that first responder — automatically.

What's Included

The platform ships with 6 fully integrated agent modules:

Tree Service Inquiry Agent — A smart web form that collects service type (trimming, removal, stump grinding, emergency storm damage, hazard assessment), property details, photo uploads, location, and contact info — all stored in a searchable database.
Storm Lead Agent — When a customer selects "Emergency Storm Damage," the system instantly redirects to an urgent response page with SMS instructions, photo requests, and dispatch timeline. Storm leads are flagged with a red STORM badge in the admin dashboard so they're never missed.
Estimate Prep Agent — Every inquiry includes a clean, arborist-ready summary: date, client name, job site, service type, and job notes — so estimators know what equipment to bring before they arrive.
Quote Follow-Up Agent — Automated Day 1 / Day 3 / Day 7 multi-channel follow-up sequences (email + SMS) that keep quotes from dying in an inbox. Includes a bonus 6-month re-engagement template for lost leads.
Seasonal Campaign Agent — Plug-and-play campaigns for pruning season, storm prep, fire risk reduction, and property cleanup. Each campaign has target audience, offer angle, and channel strategy.
Sales Page & Pricing — A professional landing page with storm-focused headline, feature breakdown, pricing cards ($750 Growth / $1,500 Scale), and customer testimonials.

Setup

Setup Steps for the Buyer

Step 1: Deploy the Application

Option A: Local / Demo use (immediate)

bash

Already running at localhost:5000 — just restart if needed

cd /home/team/shared/treequote-app
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install flask flask-sqlalchemy
mkdir -p static/uploads
python app.py
Visit http://localhost:5000

Option B: Production deployment (recommended)

Rent a $10–$20/month VPS (DigitalOcean, Linode, Hetzner — Ubuntu 22.04+)
SSH in and copy the app files:
bash
scp -r /home/team/shared/treequote-app/* user@your-server:/opt/treequote/
Install dependencies and set up a systemd service:
bash
cd /opt/treequote
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install flask flask-sqlalchemy gunicorn
mkdir -p static/uploads
Create /etc/systemd/system/treequote.service:
[Unit]
Description=TreeQuote AI
After=network.target

[Service]
User=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/opt/treequote
ExecStart=/opt/treequote/venv/bin/gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Start it: sudo systemctl enable --now treequote
(Optional) Set up Nginx reverse proxy + SSL via Let's Encrypt for a custom domain
Step 2: Configure Your Domain & Branding

Point a domain (e.g., treequoteai.com) to your server
Update the SECRET_KEY in app.py to a random value
Customize the brand name and colors in templates/components/layout.html
Update testimonials with real customer names as you acquire them
Step 3: Set Up Your Pricing & Billing

Stripe integration — Add Stripe checkout links to the pricing cards in templates/index.html
Decision: Manual invoicing (start simple) vs. automated subscriptions (add Stripe API later)
Recommended launch offer: "First month free — no credit card required"
Step 4: Go-to-Market Plan

Target customers: Tree service companies with 5–50 trucks in storm-prone regions (Florida, Texas, Carolinas, Midwest, Northeast)

Sales playbook:

Find tree service companies on Google Maps / Yelp in your target city
Call the owner and say: "When a storm hits, how fast do you respond to new leads? I've got a system that texts homeowners back in under 60 seconds and books emergency jobs before your competitors even know the phone rang."
Offer a 30-day free trial
Onboard them in 15 minutes — just add their company name and logo
Monthly check-in: share their Monthly Performance Report (already built)
Marketing channels that work for this niche:

Facebook groups ("Tree Service Business Owners")
Google Ads on "tree service software" and "storm damage tree service"
Direct mail to tree service companies (postcard: "Win Every Storm Lead")
Partnerships with arborist supply companies
Step 5: Growth Levers

Add Twilio/SendGrid — Connect real SMS and email sending so follow-ups actually go out. Charge $1,000+/month for the integrated version.
Add Stripe payment links — Let customers pay quotes online. Take 2–3% processing fee as additional revenue.
Multi-tenant architecture — Convert from single-instance to SaaS multi-tenant. Each company gets their own subdomain (e.g., acme.treequoteai.com).
Referral program — Every current customer who refers another gets 1 month free. Tree service owners all know each other.
Step 6: Maintenance

Minimal — Flask app with SQLite needs very little upkeep
Back up the database.db file regularly
Keep the server updated (apt update && apt upgrade)
That's it.
